IVAN FORCES JENNERSTOWN SPEEDWAY TO CANCEL

 


by Mike Rininger

Unfortunately the heavy rains associated with the remnants of Hurricane Ivan that hit the Laurel Highlands on Friday into early Saturday made the speedway grounds just too saturated for fans and drivers.  Saturday morning most of the pit area was under flood waters.  Speedway management was forced to cancel the final night of points in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series at Jennerstown Speedway as a result. Thus, point champions in all six divisions were determined by the point standings coming into this weekend.

Garry Wiltrout, in his first full-time effort at the Laurel Highlands Oval, won the Wheeler Brothers Super Late Model division title. Rick Boyer won the inaugural championship in the New Enterprise Stone and Lime Late Models. Dink Colarusso made it back-to-back titles in the Day Ford Street Stocks as Duane Noel won the Somerset Furniture Sales Chargers. Patrick Parlock won the Advance Auto Parts Hobby Stock crown and Kyle Martel took his first championship in the PA Legacy Series.

Jennerstown Speedway has one more night of racing left for the 2004 season as on September 25 the USAR Hooters Procup Series will be on hand to present the Charlie Campbell Memorial/ BF Goodrich 250. This is the first of the five championship series events as the Northern and Southern Division s top drivers will be in attendance. Also in competition will be the Allison National Legacy Series for a 50-lap event. Tickets are on sale at the track office. For more information on this event contact the track office at 814.629.6677 or visit www.jennerstown.com.
