The 2011 season is looking to be the one of if not the most demanding thus far in Russ Dunn’s racing career. There will be a few changes in Dunn’s racing schedule this year the most notable one will be driving the Dunn-Olivieri Racing Fast Track Late Model in 15 to 20 selected North East Series Races most likely at Sharon Speedway, Raceway 7 and Eriez Speeedway. The team will field a rocket Chassis for the Fennelton, PA driver and will carry the familiar # 47 race fans are accustomed to seeing. Sponsorship will come Randig Towing, PPC Lubricants, Dan Dunn Trucking, Baltimore Life Companies and Racing for Kids.

The second part of Dunn’s schedule will have him for the third year in a row driving an E-Mod for car owner and builder Jim Clinger in the # 222 for the Deuces Wild Motorsports Team. 2009 saw Dunn sharing the driving duties at selected races for the Clinger Built Team. In 2010 Dunn drove mainly at Raceway 7 where he captured the tracks 2010 E-Mod Championship. Jim and Russ also placed 15th in the Tri-State Modified Association points, despite Dunn only gathering points at Raceway 7. The BIG change will see Dunn behind the wheel for all races at Eriez Speedway. Sponsorship will come from Craiger Race Engines, PPC Lubricants , Jays Auto Wrecking and Lias Tire /American Racer.

2011 will be a busy one driver Russ Dunn car owners Jim Clinger # 222 E-Mod as they will battle weekly at Raceway 7 and Eriez and selected UEMS and TSMA races, and car owners Dan Dunn and Dave Olivieri as they throw their hat into Fast Track competition. Look for the car to be on the track by the end of April. The first action of the year for Dunn will be Saturday March 26th at Mercer Raceway Park participating in the UEMS sanctioned Chiller Thriller, with a rain date set for Sunday March 27th.

Pittsburgh, PA……The 2010 racing season would mark the fifth together for Dunn-Olivieri Racing and along the way would see driver Russ Dunn share time in the Dunn-Olivieri # 47 E-Mod and the # *222 E-Mod Deuces Wild Motorsports of car owner Jim Clinger.

As in 2009 Russ Dunn and the Dunn-Olivieri Racing team would field their own E- Mod to run selected races during the 2010 season but the major change would see Dunn driving the Clinger Built *222 on a full time basis Friday nights at Raceway 7 and running for the tracks E-Mod point championship.

The 2010 campaign saw the team selling their Shaw Chassis car from 2009 and bringing out of retirement the Rocket Chassis car that has been a workhorse for the team. Racing the car mainly at Sharon Speedway and one trip to Eriez Speedway saw Dunn collect one win on May 14th at Sharon Speedway and (3) top fives and (5) top tens and (2) dnf in the seven races. The team had an opportunity to sell the car and the car was sold early in July.

The other part of 2010 had Dunn driving the Clinger * 222 and all Russ Dunn did was drive it to the 2010 Track Championship at Raceway 7. Championships are most often won with consistency and not who has the most wins. And Dunn would prove that to be a fact as Dunn and the Deuces Wild Team were able to finish every lap run in the heat races and the feature events in the twelve races that were held. Along the way Dunn also put up some impressive numbers with one win on July 16th (4) seconds (2) fourths (3) fifths (1) sixth and (1) seventh his worst finish of the year. Raceway 7 puts a great emphasis on heat race points. so what did Dunn do he went out an collected (7) heat race wins. During the trophy presentation at the Raceway 7 banquet, track announcer Jim Balentine Jr announced that he had a new nick name for Dunn ” Mr. Consistency” after the year Russ had in 2010 it seems only fitting.

To prove that point in the 30 races run by Russ Dunn in 2010 here are the numbers (2) wins Sharon Speedway and Raceway 7 (11) heat race wins top fives (17) top tens (8) top 15 (1) and (4) DNF. The track championship is Dunn’s fifth (2) Sharon Speedway(1) Mercer Raceway Park (1) Hickory Speedway and (1) Raceway 7

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.
