From J&J
McKENZIE, TN (July 16) – The 2012 Sprint car racing season continued with several races across the map last week and several J&J Auto Racing teams once again finished in victory lane. Mark Dobmeier continued his domination of River Cities Speedway, while Chad Layton was victorious at Port Royal Speedway. Kaley Gharst won a pair of races and Alan Ambers came home a winner as well.
RIVER CITIES SPEEDWAY
Mark Dobmeier continued to his run to the front at River Cities Speedway last Friday night. Dobmeier raced the Lunstra/Dobmeier Racing No. 13L J&J into the lead on lap 7 of the 25-lap main event passing fellow J&J racer Wade Nygaard with a move out of turn two. Dobmeier led the rest of the way to pick up his ninth victory of the season.
It was a podium sweep for J&J as Dobmeier was followed to the finish by last week’s winner Jason Linnell (No. 97 J&J) and Nygaard (No. 9 J&J).
