KENNY BRIGHTBILL AND FIREWORKS STAR IN EAST WINDSOR SPEEDWAY SUNDAY NIGHT JULY 4TH SPECIAL

EAST WINDSOR, N.J. ~ Fans in the large gathering who attended Sunday night's annual Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular at the East Windsor Speedway will remember the outstanding fireworks display and the on-track fireworks provided by the dominating performance of defending champion Kenny Brightbill in the 25-lap main event for the Small-Block Modified stock cars.

Brightbill started 17th on the grid and immediately began his charge to the front while Ricky Elliott of Seaford, De. led the early going. By the ninth lap Brightbill wrestled his way into second and then took command of the race for good with 11 laps down.

Elliott held down a solid second, while several racers wrestled for third. Tim Tanner of Ivyland, Pa. landed that spot, while Lawrenceville's Wade Hendrickson and Doug Manmiller of Sinking Spring, Pa. were a tight fourth and fifth.

Point leader Dave Brymer of Titusville won his fourth 15-lap Street Stock main event of the year while holding off second place point man Jack Zeiner of Nazareth, Pa. most of the way. Art Bifulco of Monmouth Junction closed in to make it a tight third, while Hamilton's Kim Cooke and Len Riley of North Brunswick were fourth and fifth.

Scott Flammer of West Milford tasted his second win of the year in the Sportsman 15-lapper over Robbinsville's Buck Ward and Matt Papiez of Belle Mead. Hightstown's Rich Cass and Keith Foster of Penndel, Pa. wrapped up the top five.
