TRACKS: Tremont takes win #82 at Lebanon Valley Saturday Night

7 May 2000

WEST LEBANON, NY- Kenny Tremont was the victor in the 30-lap modified feature 
Saturday night at Lebanon Valley. K.C. Goewey won the 20-lap sportsman 
feature and Ricky Duzlak took the street stock win. Paul LaRochelle won the 
IMCA modified main. Madsen Overhead Door's, Bilinski's Meat Products and 
Boomers Performance sponsored the night's festivities.

    Guy Sheldon grabbed the lead on the first lap of the 30-lap modified main 
and took off. Several cautions slowed the event in the early laps. Maynard 
Forrette, Dave Sanchez, Ronnie Johnson and J.R. Heffner brought out the 
caution on lap two. Only Johnson and Heffner made it back into the feature. 
Matt Quinn slowed with a right front flat tire on the restart. He got tagged 
from behind by Skip Fox and had to go pitside. Chris Kokosa and Rob Pitcher, 
driving the Chip's Automotive #28c also were involved in the incident. Eddie 
Marshall had a masterful save on the next restart as he was sent sideways 
coming off turn two. Marshall was able to save it and only lost two 
positions. Kenny Tremont had moved up from his 13th starting spot to sit 
fifth by lap six. While Sheldon was motoring away on the front there was some 
great racing for second through fifth between Leckonby, Marshall, Tremont and 
Blake. 

    Dave Leckonby took over second on lap eleven while Marshall, Tremont and 
Blake raced three wide for third. Marshall took third on lap 14 while Tremont 
took over fourth. Blake pulled off a great save as he went spinning down the 
backstretch on lap 16. Sheldon drifted on the restart allowing Leckonby to 
take the lead and Tremont to grab second. Sheldon and Marshall came together 
on lap 18 ending Marshall's night. Tremont used the restart to take the lead 
and he quickly pulled away from the pack. Leckonby would have to fend off 
some late race charges from Hewitt to hang on for second. Hewitt had a strong 
run in third. Donnie Corellis finished in fourth and Dickie Larkin rounded 
out the top five.

    Only four cautions slowed the 20-lap sportsman feature. Stan Jablonka 
passed John Hotchkiss for the lead on a lap two. Don Miller took over second 
on lap four. K.C. Goewey started the race in the 13th position and was up to 
second on lap five with Sparky Lowe running third. Goewey made the pass for 
the lead on lap eight. The top five at the halfway point was Goewey, 
Jablonka, Lowe, George Marcus and Don Miller. 

    Goewey was untouchable on the front and easily took the victory. Lowe 
held off a strong challenge from Marcus to finish second. Jablonka finished 
fourth and Miller rounded out the top five.

    Bobby Duzlak ended some early season woes by leading every lap of the 
20-lap street stock feature. Jim Lagenback suffered a flat tire on lap three 
and looked out of contention, but he did recovered nicely to finish third. 
Several of the top runners suffered mechanical problems during the race. The 
first was Adam Haas as he slowed on the backstretch on lap 4. Several cars 
crashed trying to avoid Haas creating the fourth caution of the race. While 
under a lap six caution Robbie Speed slowed on the track and he went pitside. 
He returned to the race and made a spectacular exit on lap 16 as he car burst 
into flames going down the frontstretch. Speed was not injured. Al Blackburn 
spun out on lap one of the race, but came back to run a strong fifth by lap 
ten. His night came to an end early as well as Dan Burl spun and Blackburn 
tagged Burl hard.

    Bobby's younger brother, Ricky, grabbed second on lap 12. Ricky and Jim 
Lagenback waged a good battle for the second place throughout the remainder 
of the race. Scott Goversten saw a top five run disappear as his racer quit 
on lap 16. Ricky was never able to catch his older brother as Bobby cruised 
to victory. Lagenback followed the Duzlak boys for third with Todd Goldstein 
fourth and Nick Rogers fifth. Bobby Duzlak was disqualified after a post race 
inspection giving the win to his brother Ricky. Ed Bachand moved up to fifth 
as a result of the disqualification.
