In the Rolling Rock Late Model feature, Neil Brown took the lead on lap 30 and went on to win his fourth feature win of 2003 at Jennerstown. While Chucky Keslar put on a spirited performance early in the race leading the first 20 laps, the caution flag kept bunching the pack back up enabling Brown to skillfully maneuver his way to the front. Neil Brown was followed by Bobby Henry, Barry Awtey, Chucky Keslar and Mark Cottone in the top five finishers. Brown and Awtey were the heat race winners. 

In the first of two races of the Tommy Gale Haulmark Trailers Pro Trucks, Jason Lasky took the lead on lap 7 and simply dominated the feature. At the end he held a straight-away’s length lead over the field. Lasky was followed by Todd Price, Marion Reno, Jr., Adam Kostelnik and Josh Coughenour in the top five.  

In race two of the Tommy Gale/Haulmark Trailers Pro Trucks, 2002 division champ Marion Reno, Jr. dominated the feature by leading from the drop of the green to the drop of the checkered winning his second feature race of 2003. Reno was followed by Todd Price, Jason Lasky, Josh Coughenour and Eugene Ciferno in the top five. Lasky was the heat race winner. 

The Jennerstown Speedway Modifieds, Mike Bakalon survived early race incidents, led every lap and won his second feature race of 2003. Paul Urso, Bob Bentz, Jr., George Nicola and Jason Busch rounded out the top five. Paul Urso was the heat race winner.

The Pennsylvania Legacy Series saw P.J. Erlich and Jayme Bolkovac fighting it out for the lead for most of the race. But Erlich would prevail after Bolkovac and Kyle Martle made contact late in the race enabling Erlich to shoot out with the lead. Erlich, Martel, Brett Boyer, Jayme Bolkovac and Rick Boyer make up the top five finishers. Martel and Bolkovac were the heat race winners. 

In the Jennerstown Speedway Chargers, Greg Praysner took off with the lead and left the pack in his dust as he led every lap putting him in victory lane for the third time in 2003.  He was followed by Chantal Germek, Phill Grubbs, Mike Stevens and Scott Bowman in the top five.
