Tracks: Mr. Dirt Track USA Title on the line August 10th at Lebanon Valley
7 July 2000
WEST LEBANON, NY - BUDWEISER Beer and Lebanon Valley Speedway proudly bring you Mr. Dirt Track, USA on Thursday, August 10th. This title race will be 100 laps for the big block modifieds. This is also one of the stops on the Advance Auto Parts Super Dirt Series. One more thing, the winner will walk away with SEVENTEEN THOUSAND-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! This event brings in all the top names on the DIRT circuit. Danny and Alan Johnson, Steve Paine, Tim Fuller and a host of others will invade the high banks of the Lebanon Valley Speedway on August 10th. They will all be setting their sights on walking away with all that cold hard cash for winning. Only one thing stands in their way, THE VALLEY RIDERS. If the invaders think they can just waltz in a steal the cash without a fight they are sorely mistaken. They will have to beat the Valley faithful led by the eleven-time champion, Kenny Tremont. The Emerick Associates #115 has been a powerhouse at the Valley in recent seasons. Last year Tremont visited victory lane sixteen times including Mr. Dirt Track, USA. Tremont is not they only Valley driver to keep a look out for. Rich Ricci Jr, the 1994 Mr. Dirt Track USA title-holder has climbed behind the potent Gable Motorsports #1R. Ricci has already found victory lane this season and would like nothing better than to give car owner, Jody Gable, his first Mr. Dirt Track, USA victory. Other Valley regulars that could pull off the victory include John Hewitt who is a master at finishing these extra distance races. J.R. Heffner and Matt Quinn both have the equipment and the desire to pull off the big victory. Also on tap Thursday, August 10th will be the 358 modifieds. Usually fans only get to see the 358-modifieds at the Race of Kings in September, but this year they will visit the Valley on several occasions. It is a great show when some of the future modified stars of tomorrow clash with the seasoned veterans who hop into 358-mods. It is sort of like when the Winston Cup stars invade the Busch series. Call today and reserve a seat for one of the best shows in the northeast. For more information about this show or any other of our great nights of racing call the speedway at (518) 794-9606.
