Chub
Goes Back to Eriez Speedway
June 2, 2002- Bear Lake, Pa Sunday night found the Renegade DirtCar Racing Series traveling to owner/promoter Francis Seamens slightly-banked 3/8ths mile Eriez Speedway for the running of the $5,000 to win "Conway and O'Malleys 50" featuring a purse in excess of $26,000. Sunday's stop marked the eighth time that the Renegade DirtCar Racing Series has appeared at Eriez Speedway. Chub has turned probably more laps at this racetrack than he cares to remember, as he used to help his father Jerry prepare the racing surface before he started his racing career. Chub
and the 1* crew arrived at the track around 4:00 as the races were
scheduled to begin around 5:30, Chub qualified in 11th
position out of 41 cars entered which put him in the 3rd
heat, he won the heat race and that put him in the 9th
starting spot. Chub knew he had his work cut out for him as Eriez is
very hard to pass on and was a little rough tonight, which makes it
almost impossible to pass anybody unless they make a mistake. Chub drove
the Corry Rubber, Corry
Laser, Nystrom’s Auto Sales, Draime Racing Engines, Rocket Chassis,
Pierotti Motorsports, Farr MotorSports, Chevrolet Monte Carlo to finished
the feature in 6th position tonight. Davey Johnson won with
Jim Dandy 2nd Dick Barton was 3rd Randle Chupp
rode home 4th and David Scott rounded out the top 5.
