Jennerstown, Pa-(May 14, 1999)- NAPA Auto Parts Late Model competitors are busy gearing up for arguably Jennerstown Speedway's most prestigious event, the 3rd Annual Piney Lasky Memorial 200 on May 29th.

The Piney Lasky Memorial 200 began in 1997 as a tribute to honor the late Stanley "Piney" Lasky. Piney and his wile Clara purchased Jennerstown Speedway in 1967. This began the Speedway's 32-year rein as Western Pennsylvania's Finest Motorsports Complex, bringing fans some of the best NASCAR racing in the Northeast.

The local racing community remembers Piney as a great pioneer of stock-car racing and a friend, with his reputation for bringing fans the finest local racing and numerous touring divisions throughout the seasons.

"We are very proud to have the opportunity to honor Piney Lasky with this 200-lap event," Speedway General Manager Bob Duvall said. "And we couldn't ask for a better sponsor than Kennametal for the third year in a row. They provide the same commitment to their employees and customers that Piney provided to the race fans here at Jennerstown Speedway."

"Rapid" Robert Arsenberger will start the race as defending two-time champion, winning the Piney Lasky 200 both in 1997 and 1998. Each race car in the 30-car starting field will be paid $400 to start, and the winner will take home $4,000 in prize money.

In addition to the Piney Lasky 200, fans will see more racing action with the IRVVIN RV Pro Truck 50, paying $800 to win and $100 to start. PA Legacy cars will race 20 laps, and Chargers are scheduled for a 12-lap feature. VVeekly Super Six racing will continue on May 22nd, with gates opening at 4:30 p.m., and Heats are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. See Super Six Racing May 22nd for $7.50- adults, and bring the kids for free.
