Jennerstown to host
championship series event
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Jennerstown Speedway will
host the second stop of the five-race Championship Series for the USAR
Hooters ProCup Series on Saturday, October 4th. The Charlie Campbell
Memorial Miller Lite 250 presented by Lucas Oil Products will feature over
50 drivers from the two divisions as they continue their quest to win the
2003 Hooters ProCup Series national championship.
Last season Mardy Lindley scored his only win to date in the Championship
Series at the track located in southwestern Pennsylvania. The South Carolina
driver also has recorded a regular season win at the track, which will make
him one of the favorites to get the win.
Brian Ross, who finished second in the Northern Division this season to top
seed Jeff Agnew, collected one of his two regular season wins at Jennerstown
and always looks forward to returning to one of his favorite tracks on the
schedule.
“Jennerstown has been one of the tracks we always seem to run pretty good on
each time we go there,” said Ross. “Hopefully we can have some more luck
there again in October.”
The Charlie Campbell Memorial Miller Lite 250 presented by Lucas Oil
Products is named after the late Charlie Campbell who was the pilot on the
tragic flight that claimed the lives of the 1992 Winston Cup Champion Alan
Kulwicki, Dan Duncan, Mark Brooks and Campbell. Each of the four men who
perished in the accident has one race named in their honor during the
Championship Series to remember their contributions to the sport of stock
car racing.
This is the third season of the special format for the Championship Series
which takes the regular season finish of the driver and combines points
gained by the driver based on their regular season finish in the points
standings and points gained at each race of the five-race series.
This will be the second stop in the Northern Division for the Championship
Series before the final three races will be held at Southern Division
tracks. Among the Southern Division competitors who have enjoyed success at
Jennerstown Speedway is Shane Huffman. Huffman who won five regular season
races en route to securing the top seed from the Southern Division also has
one career win in the Championship Series that was collected at Jennerstown
Speedway.
Huffman opened up this year’s Championship Series in dominating fashion
winning the Alan Kulwicki Memorial Naturally Fresh Foods 250 at Winchester
Speedway two weeks ago and will join Lindley as a previous winner at
Jennerstwon this weekend.
Three-time Hooters ProCup Series champion Bobby Gill has also recorded a win
at Jennerstown Speedway and Stacy Puryear collected his only career win in
the Series at the track back in 2001.
