Tim Bainey Jr. finishes 4th in the DelGrosso Racing #15 NASCAR Super Late Model at Jennerstown

 

Tim Bainey Jr. had another strong run Saturday Night making his 2nd appearance of the season in the #15 DelGrosso Racing NASCAR Super Late Model at Jennerstown Speedway.

 

The team spent most of the afternoon and early evening watching the rain come at go at the famed ½ mile speedway. It seemed as though the track crew would manage to get the speedway dried up and in racing condition just in time for another series of showers. The delay would see the night’s events pushed back from a 5:00 start time to about 8:30 that night.

 

It was a rough afternoon for Tim Jr. as he spent most of that time resting in the transporter trying to overcome the effects of a severe cold/flu that he was suffering since early Friday morning.  “We were doing all we could to get Timmy feeling better, I just kept telling him to save his energy and we could take care of things, “ said his dad and team owner Tim Bainey Sr.

 

As the rain slowed the track would offer the teams one last chance to get the cars onto the track before going right into the qualifying events. The team needed to get a check on the car after making extensive repairs to it as a result of the damage sustained after the last race 2 weeks ago, so it was decided that Tim Jr’s younger brother Dan would take the car out and shake it down during the open session.

 

“It seems alright to me,” said Dan with a smile as he climbed out of the #15 car and headed to the transporter to talk things over with Tim Jr. and Tim Sr.


Tim Jr. would start the #15 DelGrosso Car from the 5th position for his qualifying event. He made his way up to the 3rd position before the end of the event, placing inside the top-6 and guaranteeing his team a top 12 starting position for the night’s main event.

 

As a result of the qualifying race, the #15 DelGrosso Racing Team would line up 3rd for the night’s main event. Tim Jr. would make his way into 2nd just 10 laps into the event. As the top 4 cars battled nose to tail Tim Jr’s #15 would break loose coming off of turn 4 sending him sideways, he made a great save – but the slip allowed the 3rd and 4th place cars to get around him as he gathered it up.

 

Tim Jr. would get back on pace and back in line. He would finish the short 30 lap event in 4th place. Due to the rain delay earlier that night, the scheduled 2nd 30 lap event would be canceled.

 

Tim Jr. will return to Jennerstown Speedway with the #15 DelGrosso Racing Team June 4th for a night that will include another night of scheduled Twin 30-Lap Events for the NASCAR Super Late Models. He will be competing this upcoming weekend in the USAR Hooter’s ProCup 250 at Jennerstown, driving the Greased Lightning #15 which will also carry the DelGrosso Logo’s During the Event.
