TOM MAYBERRY AND CHUCK SENNOTT EACH GET SECOND WINS OF SEASON

AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA MAY 20, 2001 . . . Veteran modified racing

talent Tom Mayberry won the 30-lap Dames Chevrolet NASCAR

Modified stock car feature on Saturday night at Grandview

Speedway and it was Chuck Sennott coming home first in the

20-lap NASCAR Late Model feature.

"You never give up hope. We just thought we would be

patient. The track came to us," said Tom Mayberry in victory

lane after winning his second of the season. The former track

champion had trailed Glenn Strunk for 18 laps before being

able to get by him on a restart after a caution. "When the

caution came out (with four laps to go) I thought Glenn might

have something for us. When we did not 'hear' him on the

first lap, we figured we were OK."

And Mayberry was OK as he drove the Mike Kelly owned A&T

Chevrolet/Long Insurance entry to victory picking up $2200

and valuable points as he chases his second track title.

Mayberry is celebrating his 25th season in the sport. Second

spot went to Glenn Strunk who chased Mayberry right to the

finish line and was up along side of him a couple times.

Third in the finishing order went to Craig VonDohren who came

on strong in the final laps. Doug Manmiller earned fourth

followed by Meme DeSantis.

Chip Slocum came from 29th to 8th to grab, unofficially,

the $200 Timber Wolf Smokeless Tobacco Hard Charger award.

In the 20-lap feature for NASCAR Late Models Chuck

Sennott, formerly from Upper New York State, followed the

Dodge powered Bill Henning for six laps before getting by and

setting the pace for the balance of the race. The victory was

the second of the season for Sennott and his Kochel

Equipment/National Penn Bank entry. Jason Miller, a rookie at

Grandview, gave Sennott a couple of challenges but had to be

content with second followed by Doug Walton, Ed Trimbur and

Bill Henning.

With close to 60 NASCAR Modifieds in the competition area

there were five qualifying heat races with victories going to

Glenn Strunk, Craig VonDohren, Bob Trapper, Ray Swinehart and

Tom Mayberry. The consolation races were won by Doug "Mopar

powered" Pannepacker, Kerry Kratz and Randy Bailey. And the

Automotive Machining Services Cash Dash, worth $345, was won

by Craig VonDohren in the Mrs T's Pierogies entry.

Qualifying events for the NASCAR Late Models went to Bill

Henning, Mike Bedell and Chuck Sennott.
