BOUNTY PLACED ON TREMONT AT LEBANON VALLEY
WEST LEBANON, NY- Webster's Dictionary defines a bounty as "a reward or
premium as payment for the capture of an outlaw." While Kenny Tremont is
certainly not an outlaw, his performance at Lebanon Valley, this season, is
borderline criminal. Tremont is celebrating his 20th year of racing at
Lebanon Valley in 1999. He is on track for a career season, going into this
weekend of racing Tremont has won eight of the nine races run at the Valley
in 1999 and he is the only driver to win on a Saturday night. His only miscue
came on a Monday night show as he was going for the lead he cut down a right
rear tire, which cost him the victory.
Tremont's dominance of victory lane has gotten Howie Commander to issue a
bounty on the #115 of Kenny Tremont. If anyone can beat the "Sand Lake
Slingshot", Commander will give them a bounty of $1,000! If Tremont continues
his streak, the bounty will increase by $500 a Saturday night. There are
plenty of Valley regulars that would love to win and pick up the extra cash,
but can anyone stop the TREMONT EXPRESS.
Tremont's banner year has him closing in on some track records. Tremont
currently sits second on the all time win list at Lebanon Valley with 74
victories. Tommy Corellis holds the record with 83 victories. Howie
Westervelt had 17 wins at Lebanon Valley in 1959, knocking ten in a row off
at one point in the season. If Tremont continues on his current pace he will
break both of these records in 1999. When will the streak end? The only way
to find out is to be there Saturday night and either cheer for Tremont to win
or cheer for your favorite driver to beat him.
