June 20 – 250 Speedway and June 21 – Muskingum County
Caditz, OH…Friday night Dunn-Olivieri Racing headed west to the newly opened 250 Speedway and when the evening was over the Fennelton, ,PA driver had the fans on their feet in what proved one very exciting finish.
Know as the “invader” Dunn and his team are living up to that title as Dunn-Olivieri racing has visited eight tracks this year (Mercer,Challenger, Sharon, Tri-City,Raceway 7, PPMS, 250 Speedway and Muskingum. The E-Mods are the featured division at 250 Speedway (250Speedway.Com) and eighteen were on had for the speedways third night of racing. There were three eight lap heat races, with Dunn starting on the pole in the second heat race. Using the starting position to his advantage, Russ was an easy winner. The reward for winning the heat race is you start in the position where you finished, so finishing 1st in the second heat race, Dunn would start on the outside pole for the 20 lap feature.
The start on the feature was slowed by two early cautions, but the next sixteen laps clicked off with out incident with Dunn leading all of them. The restart
on lap 17 would had the fans going crazy as Dunn and Tom Hagberg raced side by side for the next four laps. As the white flag was shown the two were still side by side when Dunn pushed a little high in turn two allowing Hagberg to gain a slight advantage going into turn three and Hagberg used it to his advantage as Dunn had to go high in turn four. It was a drag race to see who would get the win and even the scorers were not sure , but unfortunately for Dunn the win was given to Hagberg.
The last four laps of that race are captured on the following video:
