> Jennerstown Ready for ProCup Drivers
> Fayetteville, GA - As the 2002 regular season heads into the final four
> races in the USAR Hooters ProCup Series Northern Division, several
> drivers are looking forward to returning to  Jennerstown Speedway on
> Saturday night
> August 3. The Hooters ProCup 250 will feature over 36 of the best short
> track drivers in the country.
> Earlier this season Mardy Lindley and Jeff Agnew split the first two
> races held at the beautiful one-half mile track located
> about 50 miles east of Pittsburgh. Lindley opened the regular season,
> winning the caution-filled Naturally Fresh Foods 250 in April and then
> finished a close second to Agnew in June.
> While the two veteran drivers have battled one another in Jennerstown,
> Brian Ross has yet to conquer the track in a
> ProCup car. Ross, who won four in a row at one point in the spring, has
> enjoyed a rookie campaign many drivers only dream
> about. Ross has finishes of fourth and third, respectively, and should
> be one of the contenders in August.
> Another driver to watch is Eric Corbett. Corbett, from Hagerstown, MD,
> has collected back-to-back top-five finishes at Jennerstown and looks to
> continue his streak of consistent finishes. While Forest Urban, Jr. is
> the only other driver to finish in the top-10 for both races in 2002 at
> Jennerstown, local favorite Jeff Dunmyer could use his track experience
> to give his team their first top-10 finish after recording 11th and
> 12th-place finishes at Jennerstown earlier this year.
> Agnew enters the race as the only repeat winner at the track after
> winning last year's photo finish last July. USAR Hooters ProCup Series
> Southern Division drivers Stacy Puryear and Shane Huffman also recorded
> wins last year with Huffman's coming in the first-ever Four Champions
> Championship Series event.
> The Hooters ProCup Series 250 should be another action-packed race for
> the fans. Each race this season has featured a minimum of five lead
> changes and double-digit caution flags given to the field because of
> intense side-by-side racing.
> For more information please contact Jennerstown Speedway or the USAR
office.
