Voltina used the passing lane to get a Buffalo Raceway win in 1:55.2 on Wednesday night.

The victory by Voltina in the opener was just the start ofan outstanding night for Kevin Cummings as he scored five wins, includingseveral long shots. Cummings won with Voltina ($11.20), Chickenwithabanjo($2.80), Springhouse Star ($7.20), Amoreuble Hanover ($27.40) and Our LastPhoto ($47.20).

In the feature, Wanna Rock N Roll (Drew Monti) was incommand of the fractions with panels of 28.0, 56.4 and 1:26.2 over the fasttrack. But those splits proved to be too much in the end for Wanna Rock N Rollas the closers began making their big moves in the stretch.
