TREMONT, MILLER AND DUZLAK ALL VICTORIOUS AT LEBANON VALLEY

JUNE 30, 2001

WEST LEBANON, NY-The rain held off long enough Saturday night to get in almost every event. Kenny Tremont Jr. was the winner of the 30-lap modified feature Saturday night at Lebanon Valley Speedway. Don Miller won the rain-shortened sportsman feature. Ricky Duzlak took top honors in the 20-lap pro stock main. COORS LIGHT and SNAP-ON TOOLS brought us all the great action, including a fantastic fireworks display by "Three Fingers" Mortar-ki Brown.

David Sanchez had a very impressive run in the modified feature Saturday night. Sanchez led almost half of the modified feature before Kenny Tremont Jr. was able to make the pass for the lead. Sanchez continued to run strong and was rewarded with a fourth place finish. Eddie Marshall was showing his muscle early and he made his way past Guy Sheldon for third on lap two. Six caution flags slowed the pace of the first half of the race. The most serious incident came on lap six when Skippy Fox rolled his car on the frontstretch. Fox was able to walk away from his mangled racer. The first half of the race was not kind to Rich Ricci Jr who was involved in two incidents before halfway. Ricci had to restart from the rear after each incident, but recovered very nicely to finish seventh.

J.R. Heffner had some problems in the race as well. He got caught up in an incident on lap four and lost two laps in the pits. Heffner continued on, but dropped from the event on lap 18. Tremont, Ronnie Johnson and Tim Dwyer got the fans on their feet as they waged a three-wide battle on several occasions. Tremont was on a mission however and was able to make his way passed on his way to the front.

Tremont finished the last three modified features in the runner-up position. Tonight he was looking to improve on that position by one. Tremont was able to use the early restart to move up from his 15th starting spot. Tremont made a power move around the outside of Marshall for second and got around Sanchez for the lead on lap 13. Tremont opened up a three-quarter straightaway lead with five laps to go and cruised home for his fourth victory of season and 91st of his career. One of the fastest cars on the track in the final stages of the race was Matt Quinn. He was seventh at the halfway point and worked his way up to third by the finish. Following Tremont across the line Marshall in second, Quinn third, Sanchez fourth and Larkin fifth.

Don Miller won his first career sportsman feature Saturday night. Miller used his front row to grab the lead and never looked back. The rain finally began to fall as the race approached the halfway point. Just passed the halfway mark the caution flag came out for the rain. The rain would not stop and Miller was credited with the win. Jay Casey made the pass for second on lap eight and finished there. Hawley Smith had a potent racecar and was able to get up to third by the finish. John Scarborough came home fourth and K.C. Goewey rounded out the top five.

The Pro Stock drivers had an added bonus in their feature. Auggie's Wholesalers and Used Cars put up $400 for the race winner. Tom Faxon and Robbie Speed brought out the first caution as the came together on the backstretch. Three other cars came together in turn four on the same lap. Ricky Duzlak borrowed his older brother Bobby’s car on Saturday night. A recent string of bad luck had Ricky starting on the front row and he was looking to make the most of the opportunity. Ricky would proceed to lead every lap en-route to victory.

Danny Sanchez made a quick charge into the top five by lap three, but motor problems ended his night on the very same lap. At the halfway point it was Duzlak, Tom Brandt, Ed Bachand, Yetman and Paul LaRochelle. Bachand and Yetman came together in turn four on lap 15 ending Bachand's night. Yetman made a bid for second with two laps remaining, but Brandt was strong to the challenge. Ricky became the first repeat winner in the pro stock division this season. Brandt had a strong runner-up finish in second, Yetman third, Jim Lagenback fourth and LaRochelle fifth.

Young gun, Dan Blackburn, picked up his first career victory in the rookie feature. Pure Stock "A" feature winner was Josh Brandt, "C" main winner was Bob Palmer and Pete Wiegand won the Pure Stock "D". The Pure Stock "B" was rained out and postponed to next week.
