MAYBERRY WINS TWO MOD FEATURES WHILE RANDY STOUDT TOPS LATE

MODEL FIELD AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY NIGHT

BECHTELSVILLE, PA JUNE 19, 1999 . . . It was Tom Mayberry

Night (not officially, it just seemed that way ) at Grandview

Speedway on Saturday night. The Sellersville, PA racer was

able to wheel the Mike Kelly owned A&T Chevy/Golden Corral

sponsored entry to victory in both 20-lap NASCAR Winston

Racing Series Modified features in addition to winning his

qualifying heat and the Cash Dash. It was the first time

since 1993 that a driver had won two features in one night

and the wins gave Mayberry a total of five for the season.

Randy Stoudt of Pottstown was able to share a little of the

spotlight by winning the 20-lap NASCAR Late Model feature,

his first of the season.

In the first 20-lap NASCAR Modified feature Jack

Hartnett set the pace for the first nine laps. On the 10th

lap Mayberry, who had started tenth, took command. Hartnett

was able to keep his Media Camping Center entry in the chase

for the victory but Mayberry was clearly the class of the

show as he had a fairly easy time earning the top prize.

Second spot went to Hartnett (Telford). Chip Slocum (Ewing

Township, NJ) was a strong challenger early but settled for

third followed by Jeff Strunk (Bechtelsville) and Donny Erb

(Douglassville). Erb ran the first half of the event in

second spot in a strong effort to get his second win of the season.

Veteran driver Jim Bagley, scheduled to start in the

feature, was taken to Lehigh Valley Medical Center

(Allentown, PA) complaining of chest pains. He was undergoing

open heart surgery as the night's races were being run.

In the 20-lap NASCAR Late Model feature Kyle Pensinger

was the leader for 12 laps. On the 13th lap with a three car

struggle going on between Pensinger, Randy Stoudt and Dean

Stoudt, Dean took command. And it looked as if multi time

champion Dean Stoudt would be able to hold on to grab the

victory. However in the first turn on the final lap Jeff

Teets, making a strong bid to unseat Stoudt tangled with the

leader and both were forced to go to the rear of the field.

On the restart Randy Stoudt, who had been patiently waiting

for his opportunity, was in front and held on to win. It was

the first win of the season for the Pottstown racer. Second

spot went to Lou Egrie (Philadelphia) followed by Kyle

Pensinger (Lyons Station), Rick Todorow (Quakertown) and Ed

Hoffman (Allentown).

The second 20-lap feature for NASCAR Modifieds had Kevin

Hartnett in front of the pack early. Tom Mayberry came from

15th starting spot, patiently working his way through the

field, and took command on the 12th circuit of the one-third-

mile, clay banked oval from Hartnett. However Mayberry had

his hands full holding off challenges from Rick Schaffer and

Jeff Strunk in the final laps. At the finish Schaffer

(Woxall) was right on the rear bumper of winner Tom Mayberry.

Jeff Strunk (Bechtelsville) managed a strong third place

finish and moved closer to point leader Terry Meitzler in the

chase for the track title and increased his lead in the chase

for the $40,000 Motor Truck Equipment Co. Cummins Kenworth PA

NASCAR Modified Championship Series point title. Kevin

Hartnett (Perkasie) held on for fourth followed by Keith

Hoffman (Allentown).

Qualifying heat races for the modifieds were won by

Kerry Kratz, Jim Bagley, Smokey Warren, Chip Slocum and Tom

Mayberry. Consolation races were taken by Kenny Gilmore, Jon

Kellner and Kenny Gruber. The Automotive Machining Services

Cash Dash, worth $350, went to Tom Mayberry. In qualifying

for the Late Models the wins went to Kyle Pensinger, Jeff

Teets and Ed Trimbur while the consolation was won by Ron Chrisman.

Keith Hoffman and Kenny Gilmore, unofficially, shared

the Timber Wolf Smokeless Tobacco Hard Charger Award for

gaining the most positions in the two feature events for

modifieds. And Sam Martz earned the Kochel Equipment First

Alternate Award for the modifieds.
