WILTROUT ‘TRUCKS’ TO BIG WIN AT JENNERSTOWN
JENNERSTOWN, PA (July 15)…Somerset driver Garry Wiltrout was hotter than
the three jet-powered vehicles featured in the ‘Truckin Thunder’
presentation, as he became the fifth different winner in Courtesy Suzuki
super late model action Saturday evening at Jennerstown Speedway, racing
to a hard earned victory in NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series action on the
half-mile paved Somerset County oval.
“This win
changes the whole momentum for our team,” Wiltrout said following the
event. “I was ready to give up earlier in the year, but my car owner and
crew kept plugging away to make the car better. Sitting in Victory Lane
is what it is all about.”
Wiltrout
started third in the field and quickly moved to the top spot on Lap 2.
He surrendered the lead to Barry Awtey two laps later, but was able to
regain command for good on the 19th circuit.
Awtey was
able to keep Wiltrout in his sights to finish second, ahead of current
point leader Mark Poole, Mark Smith and Bobby Henry. Jason Mignogna,
Mark Cottone, Todd Goble, Jason Lasky and Greg Kelley rounded out the
top-10.
A vicious
four-car accident on the front straight involving Jeff Dunmyer, Kyle
Martel, Rick Boyer and Todd Price brought out the red flag. Dunmyer
climbed on top of Martel and flipped his Charlie Beam owned machine at
the start/finish line. No one was injured in the melee.
Dusty
Rhoads zipped past Wade Champeno with three laps remaining in the 25-lap
WJAC-TV late model feature to annex his fifth win of the campaign.
Champeno settled for second place in front of Andrew Wylie, Mel Wilt and
Chris Brink.
Unstoppable is the word to describe Adam Kostelnik in the Advance Auto
Parts street stock class, as he drove to his sixth consecutive triumph
over Todd Knight, George Nicola, Phil Grubbs, and Jason Holder. Bobby
Young rolled his mount in turn three early in the contest, but was able
to walk away unscathed.
Angelo
Codispoti drove past Matt Sever on Lap 10 in the hobby stock finale to
pick-up his first every victory. Sever hung on for second, while Scott
McCall, Eugene Zerfoss and last weeks feature winner Teddy Gibala
finished third through fifth.
Chris
Gilson of Wellsboro swept both ends of the twin super mini cup ferature
events.
