Jeff Dunmyer Wins Late Model Feature
Jennerstown, PA- (May 8, 1999)- After crashing
in the heats and then watching the NAPA Auto Parts Late
Model Feature from his trailer last week, Jeff Dunmyer
of Friedens turned his luck around by winning the
feature at Jennerstown Speedway Saturday May 8th.
Kennametal driver Snooky Williams of Latrobe started
first, dominating the first half of the race when rain
brought out caution on Lap 21. By lap 26, Dunmyer passed
Williams to take the lead where he remained until the
checkers. After battling all night, last week's winner,
Richard Mitchell of Bruceton Mills, W.Va. tangled in
turn 4 with Barry Awtey, bringing out another caution.
Mitchell raced back to salvage a 10th place finish.
Rounding out the top five were Ryan Hemphill, defending
champion Mark Cottone, Williams and Neil Brown.
"Any race fan who missed out on the action should be
sorry," Speedway General Manager Bob Duvall said. "We
saw some great racing tonight."
Nick Rosa of Ligonier led the Giant Eagle Pro Stock
Trucks to the green flag, and he showed domination,
leading from start to finish. Throughout the entire
feature, Bryan Thomas of Hooversville and George Englert
of Greenville battled for second. Thomas held off
Englert for second and finished half-a-car length back
of Rosa. Altoona native Aaron Will and last week's
winner Todd Price finished fourth and fifth.
Driving with a splint to protect his injured ankle,
Phil Larcinese of Jefferson Boro. took the Grand
American Modifieds feature in style, starting first and
leading the entire feature to capture his first victory
of the season. A crash in last week's heat put Larcinese
in the ambulance headed for the hospital. To show his
gratitude, he announced plans to donate a check to the
Jennerstown Ambulance for their help last week.
Following Laricinese to the checkered flag were Mark
Flick, last week's winner Thomas Knight Jr., Marion Reno
and Erik Skomo.
From his second place start, Mel Wilt of
Hollidaysburg crossed the start-finish line first,
taking his first win of 1999. Fans saw bumper-to-bumper
racing throughout the field all night long. Mike Bakalon
of North Versailles moved up four spots, coming home
second. Rounding out the top five were last week's
feature winner Doug Shaulis, Billy Mostoller of Friedens
and Mike Davis.
PA Legacy drivers not only had to battle each other
but also the weather. With rain threatening, last year's
track champion Mike Simith found victory lane followed
by Jayme Bolkavek, George Stockman, last week's winner
Rick Boyer and Mike Hemphill. Charger division action
was halted due to rain and is scheduled to make up its
feature next week.
Racing continues next weekend when Tribune Review
will present five divisions of racing. The Main Event
Series makes its debut at Jennerstown bringing back past
competitors like Tim Ice and Glen Gault. Gates will open
at 4:30 p.m. and tickets are $11.50 for adults and kids
12 and under are FREE. Call the Speedway office for
ticket and details.
