Dunn-Olivieri Racing

Conneaut, OH… Raceway 7 was hit with an unexpected thunderstorm during intermission forcing the cancellation of all of the feature events. Russ Dunn and Triple Duce Racing are in the mist of points battle for the E-Mod Points Championship and despite the cancellation of the feature event Dunn was able to add five points to his lead by wining his heat race. Starting on the outside pole Dunn lead all eight laps in wining his fifth heat race of the year.

The season has two points nights left, August 13th a double points nights for the E-Mod Division and the seasons final race on August 27th. Dunn currently holds a 72 point lead in the division.

Conneaut. OH…..as July came to an end Russ Dunn and the Triple Duce Race Team were looking to keep up the mometum after their first win of the year. Five points evening remain and Dunn as he has done all season had another top five performance finishing fouth in the 20 lap feature.

Starting tenth in the first of two heat races Dunn used all 8 laps to advance to third and into the re-draw for the feature.Starting sixth in the feature the * 222 march forward would be hindered by two caution before the first lap was completed. As racing resumed the next seventeen laps went green and now had Dunn into 4th as the final caution flew on lap. On the restart Dunn tried hard to make it into the top ten but settled for a fouth place finish.

Hartford,OH…..car owner Jim Clinger elected not to go the E-Mod special at State Line Speedway and decided to bring the * 222 to Sharon Speedway. The decision turned out to be a good one as Dunn came home second in the 15 lap feature.

Starting on the pole in the second of the eight lap heat races saw Dunn finish second and make it into the re-draw. The re-draw had Dunn starting seventh and had Russ advancing to fourth during several early cautions and up to second on lap six. Dunn had two more chances to catch the leader but single file restarts and the leader having the perfered line on a slick track Dunn would have to settle for a second place finish.

Dunn and the Triple Duce Racing will be at Raceway 7 on August 9th as they continue to be the points leader in the E-Mod division.

Conneaut & Hartford…. OH… The management made a late but the right call as severe weather pounded the Lake Erie area forcing the cancellation of the Friday nights races at Raceway 7.

For the third time this season car owner Jim Clinger decided to bring the Triple Deuce Race Team to Sharon Speedway. Starting on the outside pole for the third heat, Dunn lead all eight laps for the heat race win. A side bar to the heat race win is that Dunn has won three heat races this year at Sharon Speedway one in the former Dunn-Olivieri # 47 and one each in the 222 and *222 owned by Jim Clinger.

As the final heat races of the evening were to go track side, a torrential rain passed over the area forcing the cancellation of all racing for the remainder of the evening. This week Dunn will be back in action at Raceway 7 on Friday July 30th and a possible return to Sharon Speedway July 31st.
