(Pulaski, PA)
After nearly a month off, the FASTRAK Northeast Late
Model Touring Series will resume its schedule with race #3 this
Friday night, June 20 at Jim and Sharon Michny's Dog Hollow
Speedway. The event will mark the first of two visits by the Touring
Series to the Strongstown, Pa. oval
The 25-lap features will pay $1,200 to-win, $150 to-start. Drivers
will draw pills to determine the heat race lineups and redraw for the
first 12 starting spots of the feature.
"We're looking forward to returning to Dog Hollow," stated Northeast
Co-Director Vicki Emig. "Last year's show was a great race. The
Michny's are strong supporters of FASTRAK and we're thrilled they
gave us two Touring shows this year. Dog Hollow always a nice
surface for the racers and this year's event should be a great
show."
The FASTRAK Northeast Touring Series kicked off its season over
Memorial Day Weekend. Max Blair won the Saturday event at McKean
County Raceway over a 33-car field, and Frank Guidace topped the 31-
car field at Mercer Raceway Park on Monday. Both drivers' victories
were their first ever in Touring Series events. Blair, 19 of
Centerville, Pa., is the current Touring Series point leader over
Bobby Powell of Waterford, Pa. A total of 46 drivers have competed
thus far.
Dog Hollow Speedway is a FASTRAK weekly-sanctioned speedway for the
second straight year. Last year, the FASTRAK Northeast Touring
Series made its maiden voyage and Bobby Powell captured his first
career Touring Series victory. Dog Hollow has held six weekly events
thus far this season with Tommy Snyder, Jr. victorious three times
and single victories to Dave Padula, Justin Kann, and Dan
Angelicchio.
"We expect a field of 30 cars or more," acknowledged Northeast Co-
Director Mike Leone. "Raceway 7 has again been good enough to drop
the FASTRAK Late Models on Friday night so all their racers have the
opportunity to go to Dog Hollow and run this Touring event. Last
year we had 21 cars, which was good considering it was the first
season and Dog Hollow didn't mandate the Goodyear Tires on a weekly
basis. With the Goodyear Tires mandatory at Dog Hollow this year and
a lot more cars in competition throughout the region, there shouldn't
be a problem getting 30 cars at the Touring events if weather isn't a
factor."
