FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mother Nature wins first TNT Super Series event of 2011
Rain showed up part way through first round
LANCASTER, NEW YORK (May 10, 2011) Twenty-four competitors took to the eighth-mile at Dunn Tire Raceway Park (DTRP) for the Joe’s Transmission TNT Super Series (TNTSS) season opener last Friday night.
After two rounds of qualifying, Jon Jablonski of West Seneca, NY sat atop the field with a stout 7.001 pass in his beautiful 1967 Chevy II.
Then four cars into round one, the rains came and ended the night forcing the event - presented by Kevin Orr Mechanical - to be rescheduled for Friday June 10th at DTRP.
With round one not completed, TNTSS rules state that eliminations revert back to the previous round. “This means that round one effectively didn’t happen,” said Ted Barnes, TNTSS Director. “We’ll have a brand new race on the 10th but will include tonight’s qualifying sessions so nobody gets penalized.”
Next stop for the Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series competitors is a double-header weekend at Cayuga Dragway on May 21-22. Visit www.tntsuperseries.com for all the latest in TNTSS news and information.
