COLARUSSO WINS THIRD STRAIGHT - BROWN VISITS VICTORY LANE AT JENNERSTOWN SPEEDWAY

(Jennerstown, PA) For the second straight week, Mother Nature forced Jennerstown Speedway to postpone the racing of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series to Sunday. And, once again, the racing was fantastic! 

In the Rolling Rock Late Model feature, two-time Track Champion Neil Brown started on the pole, led every lap and ran a solid 50 laps straight to victory lane winning the feature. Barry Awtey mounted a late race assault getting to within three car lengths of Brown, but the Silver Bullet was simply too fast. Brown and Awtey were followed by Bobby Henry, Garry Willtrout and Mark Cottone in the top five finishers. 

The Tommy Gale/Haulmark Trailers Pro Trucks ran double features on Sunday. The first feature was a make-up race for the rained out May 15^th event. Todd Price led every lap and took home his second win of 2003. He was followed by Jason Lasky, Josh Coughenour, Marion Reno, Jr. and Curtis Stewart in the top five. 

In the second Pro Truck feature, it was Marion Reno, Jr.’s turn to dominate a race taking off from the drop of the green to the drop of the checkered winning his first 2003 feature at Jennerstown Speedway. Reno was followed by Josh Coughenour, Adam Kostelnik, Dave Manns and Todd Price in the top five. Todd Price was the heat race winner. 

In the Jennerstown Speedway Modifieds, Paul Urso took the lead on lap six and survived numerous assaults from the field to win his first feature of 2003 at Jennerstown. Urso, Mike Bakalon, Jason Busch, Matt Smith and Bernard McQuillan round out the top five drivers crossing the finish line. Mike Bakalon was the heat race winner. 

Dink Colarusso stole the lead from Roger Onstead on lap five and then stole the rest of the feature as he went on to win his third consecutive Street Stock feature at the Laurel Highlands Oval. Colarusso was followed by Onstead, Bolly Mostoller, Jason Holder and June Weyant in the top five. Colarusso was also the heat race winner. 

Chantal Germek held the lead for 24 of the 25 laps of the Jennerstown Speedway Chargers, but Phill Grubbs came up and took the lead on the last lap snatching the victory from Germek. In his first Charger feature win of 2003 at Jennerstown Speedway, Grubbs was followed by Germek, Mike Stevens, Greg Praysner and Duane Noel in the top five. Mike Stevens won the heat race. 

In the PA Legacy Series feature, P.J. Erlich got by Rick Boyer at the race’s mid way point and held him off for the remainder of the race to win his second feature of 2003. Erlich and Boyer were followed by Brett Boyer, Jayme Bolkovac and Chris Brink in the top five finishers. The heat race winners were Dave Campbell and Rick Boyer. 

In the Mens Enduro feature, “Bad” Brad McCoy lead every lap on his way to victory lane. He was followed by Patrick Parlock, Gregory Lohr, Cory Snoeberger and Larry Miller in the top five.
