Jennerstown loses to rain…again

JENNERSTOWN, PA (June 11, 2005) ….Even with 20 members of the clergy in the pit area for the inaugural ‘Faster Pastor’ race, Jennerstown Speedway still fell victim to the elements. A persistent rain pelted the half-mile paved Somerset County oval forcing the cancellation of the NASCAR DODGE Weekly Series program on Saturday evening.

Jennerstown will try again next Saturday when the open wheel, winged-warriors of the International Super Modified Association (ISMA) make their only Pennsylvania appearance.  Billed as the fastest short-track cars in the world, the ISMA field will be led by two-time defending champion Chris Perley, who won last seasons event at Jennerstown.

The twice postponed twin 30-lap features for the super late model class has been rescheduled for Sat., June 25.

The popular ‘Faster Paster’ race has been moved to the big July 2 Stars and Stripes Fan Appreciation Night special which will feature free admission to anyone dressed as an American Hero, fireworks, and Ricky Rudd’s NASCAR Nextel Cup Air Force show car.

Spectator gates for the ISMA event, which will also spotlight feature races only for the five NASCAR weekly classes, will open at 2:00 PM. Racing begins at 6:30.
