RAIN DAMPENS SOLID RUN
(June 3, 2006)
Persistent rain put an end
to a strong run for the Blair County Wade Champeno Racing team on Saturday, June 3 at Jennerstown Speedway in the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series Asphalt Late Model Division.
An afternoon shower delayed the racing action,
so all the racing divisions were cut back to one set of practice laps, instead of the normal two. Wade's Chevy Monte
Carlo Port City racecar was loose during practice, so the team made significant changes to tighten the car for the heat
race. Starting 9th, Champeno steadily climbed to sixth at the finish of the 8-lap heat race.
Jennerstown's handicap
system put Wade 5th on the starting grid for the feature race. Champeno patiently worked his way through the field,
taking the lead from Dan Brink on lap 8. It was during a subsequent caution period that the skies opened up and forced
the cancellation of the evening's racing program.
