On a beautiful night for racing, Jennerstown Speedway would first pay tribute to the victims on the anniversary of the September 11 tragedy.  Following the driver autograph session, a moment of silence was held for all the victims which concluded with a parade lap by some of the competitors carrying the American Flag around the track and a musical tribute to those who died on Flight 93, which crashed just miles from the speedway.  Super Minicup driver Kevin Moore had all of the names of the passengers of Flight 93 on his car and led the field around during the parade laps.  When the track got to racing, none of the point leaders were able to clinch their respective division titles, let alone visit victory lane.  Picking up wins on this night were Mark Smith (Wheeler Brothers Super Late Models), Todd Price (New Enterprise Stone and Lime Late Models), Rich Nicola (Day Ford Street Stocks), Mike Stevens (Somerset Furniture Sales Chargers), Greg Lohr (Advance Auto Parts Hobby Stocks), Jayme Bolkovac (PA Legacy Series), and MikeWalker (Super Minicups).
 

Barry Awtey jumped out to the lead at the start of the 50-lap super late model feature and checked out on the field as Mark Smith settled into the second spot.  Tim Bainey, Jr. was charging hard through the field and was up to the fifth spot when disaster struck on lap 12.  Bainey's engine exploded going into turn 1, dropping oil all over the track, with in all six cars collected in the crash.  The red flag was thrown for what would be an extensive cleanup period.  Eliminated in the crash were Bainey, Jr, Jayme Bolkovac, Snooky Williams, Todd Goble, and Kyle Martel.  Tommy Beck was able to make repairs and continue.  None of the drivers were injured.  Awtey would once again jump to the lead on the restart and put some distance on Smith.  By lap 32, Smith had run down Awtey and spent the next several laps trying anything and everything to take the top spot.  On lap 46, Smith got a run on the outside and went past Awtey into the lead.  Smith went onto take his third win of the season.  Awtey held on for second with Richard Mitchell, Mark Cottone and point leader Garry Wiltrout in the top five.  Wiltrout holds a 44-point lead over Awtey going into the final week.  Mitchell and Smith took heat race wins.
 

            The 25-lap late model feature saw Wade Champeno take the early lead.  Soon he would have to fend off the challenges of Todd Price and Rick Boyer.  Price went to the lead on lap 9 and two laps later, Boyer overtook Champeno for second.  Price looked like the man to beat and Boyer was unable to make a challenge, but a lap 16 caution for a spinning Todd Corson gave Boyer one last chance on the restart.  Price beat Boyer to turn 1 when the field went back to green and went on for his sixth win of the season.  Boyer, Dusty Rhoads, Mel Wilt, and Champeno rounded out the top five.  Despite finishing ahead of Boyer, Boyer still holds a 16-point lead over Price.  Rhoads won the heat.
 

            Dave Tavormina took the lead at the start of the 20-lap street stock feature, holding off a pack of strong contenders battling hard behind.  Disaster struck Tavormina while leading on lap 8 as he slammed the turn 4 wall right in front of the field after an apparent mechanical failure ending his night.  Rich Nicola inherited the lead for the restart.  Nicola would have Adam Kostelnik right behind him the remainder of the race but was unable to make a move to the front.  Nicola took home his first win of the season ahead of Kostelnik, point leader Dink Colarusso, George Nicola and Roger Onstead.  Colarusso holds a comfortable 20-point lead over Kostelnik.  Kostelnik and George Nicola won the heats.
 

            Jayme Bolkovac took the lead at the drop of the green flag in the 25-lap PA Legacy Series feature event and never looked back.  Dave Campbell and Kyle Martel both passed second place Chris Brink near the halfway point of the race but Bolkovac was out to a commanding lead.  On lap 18, Martel made the pass on Campbell for second and set his sights on reeling in Bolkovac.  But on this night Martel would have to settle for the runner-up spot as Bolkovac had the field covered, taking her second win of the season in the caution free event.  Campbell, PJ Ehrlich and Brink rounded out the top five.  Martel extended his point lead on Campbell and now leads by 36 points.  Martel and Bolkovac won the heats.
 

            Scott Bowman and Mike Stevens battled hard for the lead during the early laps of the charger feature.  Stevens finally took control of the top spot on lap 6 of the 15-lap event.  However the coast would not be clear for Stevens, as Duane Noel would move into the runner-up spot and put the pressure on Stevens.  Noel went to the inside of Stevens coming to the white flag, but Stevens slammed the door going into turn 1.  The race would go caution free as Stevens would earn his career first win.  Behind Noel were Stephen Mock, Bowman and Phil Grubbs.  Noel, who won the heat race, leads Stevens by just 14 points.
 

            Greg Lohr took off with the lead at the start of the hobby stock feature.  After a caution for Eugene Zerfoss, whose car made hard contact with the outside wall, Lohr and Patrick Parlock would pull away from the field in their battle for the lead.  Parlock, who jumped into Bill Karson's car for the feature after suffering mechanical problems in his own ride, was unable to make a challenge on Lohr for the lead.  Lohr took home win number four with Parlock, Deidre Petrie, John Steeley and Jeff Zillweger in the top five.  Parlock holds a slim six-point lead over Lohr, who also won the heat race.
 

            Mike Walker used lap traffic to his advantage going down the backstretch to pass leader Mark Fell as he went onto win the 20-lap minicup feature.  Fell led the first ten laps before yielding the top spot to Walker.  Matt Wallace beat Fell to the stripe for second in the caution free event with Frankie White and Kevin Moore in the top five.

            Next week the champions will be crowned in all divisions during the final points night in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series at Jennerstown Speedway.  A regular show of Wheeler Brothers Super Late Models, New Enterprise Stone and Lime Late Models, Day Ford Street Stocks, Somerset Furniture Sales Chargers, Advance Auto Parts Hobby Stocks, and the PA Legacy Series is on the card.  Grandstand admission will be $5 and an autograph session will be held once again on the front stretch from 6:00-7:00 giving fans one last chance to meet and greet their favorite drivers at the Laurel Highlands Oval.  On September 25, Jennerstown Speedway will pull the curtains on the 2004 season with the running of the USAR Hooters Procup Series 'BF Goodrich 250' championship event.  A 50-lap Allison National Legacy Series feature will also be on the card.  For more information on these final events of the season, contact the track office at 814.629.6677 or visit www.jennerstown.com.
