Tracks: Lebanon Valley to host Bowlathon for Leukemia Society

25 September 1999

WEST LEBANON, NY- Stock car racing has many "lanes", this Fall Lebanon Valley 
is going to add another, the bowling "lane". Lebanon Valley has come up with 
what appears to be a very fun way to raise money for the Leukemia Society and 
the Lebanon Valley drivers point fund. The Bowlers Club on Troy-Schenectady 
Road in Latham, New York will be the site of this 3-day event. The 
Bowl-a-thon will be opened to any and all individuals that want to raise 
money for a good cause. To participate in the event bowlers will go out and 
get pledges for their bowling effort. The speedway is looking for teams to be 
assembled consisting of five individuals. The goal is to get two thousand 
people to participate in this great charity event.
 
   If raising money for good causes was not enough there will be prizes for 
teams and individuals during the event. Several of the loyal Valley sponsors 
have stepped forward to help make this event a success. Team Goewey, 
CARQUEST, COORS, Ackner Racing Equipment, Capital Speed Equipment, T-Shirt 
Graphics and MDR Printers are all giving something to make this event 
special. The speedway has also received a generous donation from Brian 
Davies, who currently crews on the Winston Cup #42 of Joe Nemecheck. Team 
Sabco has been very kind to send several sheetmetal items from the Winston 
Cup cars of Nemecheck and Sterling Marlin. With Nemecheck cracking into the 
win column those items could become collector pieces. There will also be 
Winston Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck tickets that will be given put as 
prizes. Don't be surprised to see some more special items that could be up 
for grabs. 

    Lebanon Valley sends out a big thanks to Team Sabco and all of the 
sponsors that have joined up to support the Lebanon Valley Bowl-a-thon. Now 
it is up to all the drivers, crews, officials and race fans to make this 
event possibly. We cannot make it happen without you knocking down a few pins 
for a good cause. Everyone will have a good time and what a fun way to spent 
a few hours. This is a great chance for fans to get up close and personal 
with some of the Lebanon Valley drivers.
