Sarver, PA….the final stop of the 2010 racing season would have Russ Dunn and the Deuces Wild Motorsports Team ending at Lernerville’s Speedway Steel City Stampede.The 2010 campaign has been a successful one and the team was looking to finish the year off on a high note.

The event was a two day show with heat races on Friday night and the features to be run on Saturday. Starting third in his heat race, Dunn gained the lead on the first lap an never looked back in winning the10 lap heat race. The re-draw would give Dunn the outside pole for the start of the 20 lap feature. Dunn would battle for the lead and gain it on lap four and holding on to it when then races only caution came out on lap 6. Dunn held the lead for one more lap when he was passed by the eventual race winner. The next 10 laps saw Dunn racing side for third, but he never had enough momentum to make the pass and when the checkers flew Dunn had to settle for a 4th place finish.

There will be one more stop for Dunn-Olivieri Racing and the Deuces Wild Motorsports team this season as Russ Dunn and car owner Jim Clinger will get to share center stage when they get to accept their 2010 Raceway 7 E-Mod Point Champion trophies Saturday night November 13, 2010 at the tracks annual awards banquet.

Mercer, Pa…..as racing moves into October the 2010 is closer to coming to an end and the second to last stop was at Mercer Raceway Park for the “Fall Brawl”. A field of 34 E-Mods were on hand for the season ending UEMS race with $2000 going to the winner.

The 34 car field would be split into three 10 lap heat races with the top two from each heat race advancing into the pill redraw. Dunn would start third in the first heat race and would battle for second the entire race earning a second place finish and into the redraw. The redraw would yield a sixth place start for the 30 lap feature. Dunn would advance two spots before the race would even start as two of the redraw cars would experience mechanical problems. Rain had been lightly falling all evening and the first attempt to start the race was delayed for 20 minutes as a clearing in the weather was expected. When racing racing action resumed Dunn would gain and lose a position on lap three and was still in 4th when a cation came out on lap 7. The rain was now getting heavier and another caution came out one lap later on lap 8. Knowing the race would never go the scheduled 30 laps Dunn took a gamble on the restart taking the high side in turn one and the gamble paid off as Dunn passed two cars moving into 2nd on lap nine. The third caution of the evening came out on lap 10 with Dunn now in 2nd. The rain that had been a slight drizzle began to intensify causing the UEMS officials to call the race after only ten completed laps scoring Dunn a second place finish.

Russ Dunn and the Deuces Wild Motorsports team will close out their 2010 season when they take part in the “Steel City Stampede” October 22-23 at Lernerville Speedway.

Waterford, PA ….after a successful 2010 season with Deuces Wild Motorsports a decision was made by car owner Jim Clinger to park both cars after the Oil Region Special that was held at Tri-City Speedway over the Labor Day Weekend. Racers being Racers, Dunn-Olivieri Racing car owners Russ Dunn and Dave Olivieri had a fresh motor sitting in the garage and a decision was made by all three men that they still wanted to race so the motor was installed in the * 222 that Dunn had been driving all season and first up would be a trip back to Tri-City Speedway on September 11th.

The 50 lap 1200 to win special would see the top six qualifiers advance to the feature without running a heat race.Dunn qualified in the eight position and would will his heat race and start 8th in the feature. A slick track for very little passing and Dunn finished in 7th for the second week in a row. The next stop would be at Sharon Speedway for the season ending Apple Fest. Finishing 2nd in his heat race had Dunn starting 3rd in the 20 lap feature. Racing into turn one Dunn was collected in a multi car accident causing cosmetic damage to almost every panel on the car. Restarting 19th Dunn was a to finish a remarkable but disappointing 7th. Night two saw Dunn finishing third in his heat and the redraw give Dunn a 6th place starting position for the feature. Lighting would strike once again as Dunn was caught up on a multi car accident on lap 1. Unlike the night before where Russ was unable to make his way up through the field a wrong compound on the tires would allow Dunn to finish 13th in the 15 lap feature.

The next stop in a busy month of travel saw the team to the North Central part of the state to McKean County Raceway for a two day UEMS special. With a work commitment Dunn would turn the wheel over to fellow team driver Mile Knight for the September 24th 20 lap $1000 to win show. Knight would win his heat race and start third in the feature. Knight would drop one spot and finish 4th. Dunn was back in the seat on September 25th and would finish 2nd in heat race and start 6th for the 25 lap $1500 to win event. A one groove and slick track made passing tough, but the team leaned from its Sharon mistake and used a harder tire compound to work their way up to 3rd as the checkers flew.
