TREMONT MAKES IT THREE WINS, MARK KINSER WINS SPRINTS

WEST LEBANON, NY- Kenny Tremont won his third victory of the season on

Monday night, during the 30-lap modified feature. Mark Kinser took home the

25-lap Pennzoil World of Outlaw feature.

Mike Benson was scheduled to start on the pole for the 30-lap

modified feature, but a mechanical problem forced him out before the start

of the race. Donnie Corellis and Jody Tornabene led the field down for the

start of the race. Tornabene grabbed the early race lead as the pack went

four wide for seventh. Dave Leckonby and Maynard Forrette battled for sixth

on lap four. The top four would breakaway from the rest of the field by lap

six.

Corellis took the lead from Tornabene on lap eight and Todd

Wilkinson grabbed second. John Hewitt and Brett Hearn raced for seventh on

lap eleven. Hearn, Hewitt, and Tremont went three wide for the seventh spot

on lap 12. Hearn and Hewitt made contact and Hewitt caught the outside wall.

Guy Sheldon was also involved in the incident and he was the only one that

was finished on that lap. On the restart Hearn hit the wall in turn one.

Something had broken from the early incident, which caused Hearn to hit the

fence.

Tremont would take third on the restart. As the field came down for

halfway Tremont battled for second with Wilkinson. Back in the pack,

Tornabene, Forrette, and Chris Moore would race for ninth. Tremont would

grab second on lap 17. He would run down the front running Corellis on lap

18 and make the pass for the lead on lap 19. The top four would run single

file as they began to pull away from the rest of the pack. Corellis would

have a right rear tire go flat on lap 22 and smack the turn one wall. This

would move Wilkinson up to second place.

Tremont would pull away from the rest of the filed and was never

seriously challenged. Good racing for third, fourth, and fifth in the final

stages of the feature. Eddie Marshall tried to grab third from Dave

Leckonby in the final laps, but could not to it. Donnie Ackner and Chris

Moore raced for sixth in the final lap with Moore taking sixth at the

finish. Tremont crossed the line a full straightaway ahead of Wilkinson,

Larkin, Leckonby, and Marshall.

25-lap World of Outlaw feature. He took the lead at the drop of the green

the second spot on lap ten. Sammy Swindell passed Kinser for second on that

same lap. The leaders would hit lapped traffic again by lap 11. The most

serious incident of the feature came on lap 15 as Dion Hindi flipped in

turn four. He was not injured in the flip.
