MAYBERRY, TEETS AND DISSINGER WIN SATURDAY NIGHT FEATURES
BECHTELSVILLE, PA APRIL 17, 1999 . . . It was a repeat of
the season opener for Tom Mayberry and Jeff Teets at
Grandview Speedway on Saturday night. On a night better
suited for eskimos, Mayberry, a former track champion,
wheeled the Mike Kelly owned, A&T Chevrolet/Golden Corral
Restaurant sponsored entry to victory. The win, the second of
the season for Mayberry, the first coming in the season
opener, came in the 30-lap NASCAR Winston Racing Series
Modified feature.
In the companion feature for NASCAR Late Models Jeff
Teets, who also won on opening night, drove his Harry's U-
Pull It Auto Parts entry to victory in the 20-lap main event.
And in the PA Sportsman 15-lap feature Dave Dissinger drove
his Oak Hill Farms mount to his second straight feature win.
Ken Lindaberry set the pace at the start of the 30-lap
modified feature with Dennis Bailey getting in front of the
pack on the second circuit of the one-third-mile, banked clay
oval. The first caution came on the 16th lap when John
Willman and Kenny Gruber tangled. On the restart Bailey and
Tom Mayberry "kissed" in the second turn, both got a little
sideways, and Mayberry grabbed the front spot. At 20-laps
Mayberry had a comfortable lead and went on to win the
feature with Bailey and his Berks Products sponsored mount
following close behind.
For his efforts in winning his 22nd career feature at
Grandview Speedway the Sellersville, PA racer earned $2,200.
Dennis Bailey (Kutztown) finished second while Terry Meitzler
(Kutztown) finished third. Kerry Kratz (Bechtelsville) was
fourth followed by Kevin Hartnett (Perkasie).
The 20-lap feature for Late Models had Kyle Pensinger in
front at the drop of the green. Casey Ebright, away from the
sport for a couple of seasons, showed he had not lost the
touch and took charge on the second lap. On the seventh
circuit Ebright spun while leading and Jeff Teets, who had
been charging up through the field, took the top spot. Once
in front Teets had his hands full holding off Dean Stoudt to
win the feature event, his second of the season. The Coplay
racer was just a few feet in front of Stoudt (East
Greenville). Third place was earned by Rick Todorow
(Quakertown) followed by Junior Grebe (Boyertown) and Sam
Schlosberg (Pottstown).
And it was Dave Dissinger (Mohrsville) taking the top
spot at the drop of the green flag and leading all 15 laps to
get his second win of the season with the PA Sportsman. Ryan
Beltz earned an impressive second place finish while Tom
Umbenhauer put on an exciting display of high groove racing
to finish third.
Again more than 100 race cars filled the competition
area on a night that saw a little rain, bone chilling cold
and high winds. Qualifying heat wins for the NASCAR modifieds
went to Bill Gensler, Jon Kellner, Tom Mayberry, Dennis
Bailey and Terry Meitzler. The consolation races were won by
John Willman, Craig VonDohren and Jeff Strunk. The Cash Dash
worth $335 went to Jon Kellner.
Preliminary qualifying events for the late models were
won by Kyle Pensinger, Jeff Teets and Junior Grebe while the
consolation race went to Randy Stoudt.
And in the heat races for PA Sportsman the victories
were earned by Dissinger and Greg Wadsworth.
