Bunting and Jumpin' Jack Pick Up Tuesday Night Wins

On Tuesday night, July 7th, Delaware International Speedway and Sharon Speedway both had special races for the big block modifieds. Delaware had a 25 lap feature (Camp Barnes Benefit Race) and Sharon had a 30 lap feature (Lou Blaney Memorial), and both paid $3,000 to win their respective features.

At Delaware it was H.J. Bunting, who won this same race in 2008, who used his big motor to pick up the big win. While Bunting dominated and led every lap, the rest of the top 5 battled hard, in the end Stewart Friesen finished second, with Chad James, Rick Laubach and Richie Pratt rounding out the top 5.

At Sharon Speedway, Jack Johnson, like Bunting at Delaware, started deep in his heat, went on to win the heat in dominating fashion, started on the pole, and dominated the feature to collect the $3,000 top prize, leading every lap of the 30 lap main event. It was the legends 3rd win of the season, all of them coming at 3 different tracks. Rounding out the top 5 in the innagural Lou Blaney Memorial was Rob Curtis, Dean Pearson, Jeremiah Shingledecker, and Jim Weller.

Also, I missed two special shows coming up this weekend. First up, for the small block modifieds, the Mohawk International American Revolution Series has their second race of the season at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, this race was scheduled to run last week but got rained out and rescheduled for Friday. Then, on Saturday, the Tri-Track Series has their next race of the season as they return to Bridgeport Speedway for a $3,000 to win top prize.
