 SCSCS
Teams Ready for Saturday’s July Battle at the “Big J”
Statesville,
North Carolina (July 9, 2019) – Twin
50-lap races at Jennerstown Speedway Complex presented by Racing Radios
complemented by a complete five-division weekly program will be sure to light
up the intensity within the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania this Saturday
evening. Featured will be the first
of two appearances in 2019 and the sixth consecutive year that the Super Cup
Stock Car Series has graced the popular 1/2-mile facility.
In
terms of most recent SCSCS history at the track, two drivers enter July’s
event with a good amount of momentum. Brent
Nelson has won at the “Big J” on five occasions, three of which occurred in
2018.
The
Petersburg, West Virginia driver is searching for his first victory of 2019,
after taking a couple races off due to a tough wreck at the opening event of
the season at Dominion Raceway. He
did; however, get back out to shake down a different car in the fleet at
Shenandoah Speedway last month with respectable results in preparation for a
possible return to glory this weekend.
 Harvey
Harrison showed up unannounced last September and accomplished the almost
unfathomable, a checkered flag in the second race after previously sitting out
the entire 2018 season. Saturday
will also mark his 2019 debut, following turning wrenches for his son Brian at
Shenandoah, and fans can potentially look for the Renick, West Virginia racer
to favor the exciting outside groove once again.
Bill
Ashton also took the longer way around when he won at Jennerstown in 2016.
The home state resident from Uniontown will certainly play a factor.
There are others who have not won in a SCSCS machine in the past, but
will be supported by former winning drivers.
Codie Rohrbaugh has visited victory lane six times and is expected to be
on hand to provide expertise to both his sister Samatha and his grandfather
Larry Berg. The CR7 Motorsports
team has shown on numerous occasions this year that they have a car capable of
running up front, but looks for their first trophy since 2017.
2014 champion JJ Pack will have his team in attendance with fellow
Virginian Edward Adams III competing for a best career result or two.
 Although
they haven’t taken home the winning earnings before on the track also known
as The Motor Mountain, New York’s Ron Langdon and Pennsylvania’s Kevin
Kromer are no strangers to the podium. Not
only are they one-two in the overall standings, but they sit in that exact
order in the Northern Division, which for the first time in 2019 takes center
stage among competitors battling for that title.
Not
far behind these two veteran drivers in the North standings are a pair of
favorites among the local crowd. Jerod
Brougher of Stahlstown, Pennsylvania has impressed in limited starts, including
a runner-up at Jennerstown last August as well as earlier in 2019 at Dominion.
Lauren Butler will join him in finding a path to an initial SCSCS
victory. The West Mifflin racer is
a former track champion in the Street Stock division.
Five
more drivers currently can boast that their highest ever SCSCS result happened
at Jennerstown. Mike Potter
finished second in one of last July’s Twin 50s and is fresh off another
runner-up in his home state of Tennessee at Kingsport Speedway.
Another former Street Stock track champion Andrew Kostelnik finished
third on three occasions during his maiden voyage in the series a year ago and
will look to shake off some recent bad breaks.
John Komarinski raced Late Models and Street Stocks for years at
Jennerstown and will be back for his 2019 debut after achieving a top five
finish last July. More Pennsylvania
residents, Jason Schue and Landon Brothers, also call this track one of their
best after positive performances in 2018.
Landon’s
twin brother Hayden Brothers will additionally be competing and sets his sights
on improving upon a 10th place finish last August as both intend to sport a new
look to the car they will be driving this weekend.
Fairfield, Pennsylvania’s Quincy Sponseller is the only driver
currently expected that has never competed on the fairly flat corners of the
track’s asphalt surface before.
Practice
is slated to begin at 2:00 p.m. with qualifying taking place at 5:00 p.m.
The first of the Super Cup Stock Car Series Twin 50s at Jennerstown
Speedway presented by Racing Radios will take the green flag shortly after 6:00
p.m. with an autograph session in the grandstands for fans between races.
