Jennerstown, Pa.-(July 12, 1999)-How far do local NASCAR Winston Cup fans have to travel to see their favorite drivers race? Pocono, Bristol or Richmond may come to mind, but on Saturday July 17th fans need not travel any further than Jennerstown Speedway.
    Along with a full night of Super Six Racing, Jennerstown will host a Race of Champions, featuring four Winston Cup drivers in a race among themselves. Drivers scheduled to appear are Mike Skinner, teammate to Dale Earnhardt and driver of the No. 31 Lowe's Chevrolet Monte Carlo; Michael Waltrip, driver of the No. 7 Philips Chevrolet Monte Carlo; Harry Gant, NASCAR legend and former driver of the No. 33 Skoal Chevrolet and Hut Stricklin.
    "Western Pennsylvania has some of the most loyal NASCAR fans in the country," Speedway General Manager Bob Duvall said. "We are very excited at the opportunity to bring four Winston Cup stars to Jennerstown, giving area fans a chance to meet some of the best drivers in the country and watch them race."
    The drivers will compete in locally-owned Late Models for a 25-lap feature on the half-mile oval. To add to the excitement, the Winston Cup Stars will not have a chance to test their cars until race day.
    Race fans will have the opportunity to meet their favorite stars one-on-one in a pre-race autograph session scheduled from 6-7:30 p.m. Each driver will also be interviewed track-side, giving fans another chance to learn about the racers' careers.
    Gates will open at 4 p.m., and regular six-division heats begin at 6:30 p.m. Super six features are scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. Winston Cup stars will compete in the Race of Champions at 8:15 p.m. Super six features will resume following its conclusion. Ticket prices are $15 in advance or $20 race day. All children 12 and under enter FREE every Saturday in July. For details call the Speedway Office at (814)629-6677
