DUNMYER TAKES PHOTO FINISH
WIN AT JENNERSTOWN SPEEDWAY


Jennerstown, PA-(June 5, 1999)- Jeff Dunmyer had to be thankful that he did not push in his front bumper during the Late Model feature event, because that is what gave him the margin of victory over Mark Smith Saturday night during Snyder of Berlin race night at Jennerstown Speedway. The two cars actually battled side-by-side for the final five circuits, with Dunmyer first tracking down Smith, then using the low groove to steadily advance his position. The two cars battled all the way down to the wire, literally, as the race was not decided until the two cars reached the finish line.

Chris Coughenour paced the field early, but was eventually overtaken by Smith, who held on to lead all but the final circuit. It was a valiant effort by Smith, who seemed to have a slight advantage running in the outside groove, as he held off the Dunmyer charge down to the final turn. The battle for third place was just as exciting, as Neil Brown managed to take the position over Barry Awtey by no more than a wheel length. Last weeks big winner Dave Houpt came back to take home the fifth place spot.

Todd Price was in the right place, at the right time to take advantage of a slip by early race leader John Mayola, and took over the top spot in the Giant Eagle pro Truck feature event. In a reminder of last weeks action, it was Bryan Thomas once again who mounted a late race challenge, but once again came up just a little short. George Englert also matched his third place finish of a week ago, while last weeks winner Nick Rosa came home in fourth. Aaron Will rebounded from dropping out of his heat race to finish in the fifth position.

The Street Stock division put on another one of their bumper-to-bumper, action packed events with Doug Shaulis holding off George Nicola for the win. The two top runners made a great show with Nicola diving low into the corners, and Shaulis pulling ahead down the straight. Adam Kostelnik and Chris Deyarmin race hard together in the final laps, with Kostelnik taking the third position. Following close behind in fifth was Billy Mostoller.

It was a good night for Grand American Modified point leader Tom Knight Jr. as he worked through the front half of the field to take the lead and the win. Mark Flick put on a good battle through the field himself, and finished the race a distant second, while Ken Skomo, Ralph McBride, and Scott Skomo rounded out the top five.

The Pennsylvania Legacy Cars looked as though they were going to finish in the exact same order as last week, until race leader Mike Smith slipped on the final restart to hand the lead and the win over to Ricky Anderson. The second spot to Jayme Bolkovac, who outdistanced Rick Boyer. George Stockman finished in fourth, while Smith rebounded to take the fifth place.

The Charger division had four cars to start their feature event, and put on a good show as Carl McCurdy and Jason Fritz battled in the final laps, with Fritz taking the checkered flag first. McCurdy was a close second, with Mike Griffith finishing in third. Tom Caster dropped out late in the race, and was credited with fourth.
