Sunday Recap
Sunday featured a great day of Final Eliminations for the Lebanon Valley NHRA D1 Event in New York. The Lebanon Valley Dragway crowd saw a great weekend of action overall, and Sunday did not disappoint. It seems like every week we are writing about Joe Carnasciale winning in Competition Eliminator, and this week is no different as Joe earned the Wally at Lebanon Valley defeating Todd Logan in the Final Round. Justin Picillo is another repeat visitor to the Winners Circle as he recently won at the D1 Maryland Event; this time around Justin took the Super Stock Final Round win over Jay Burneau. Richard Mattioli also earned a Wally in New York to match his from Maryland a couple weeks ago as he scored the Win in Super Gas over Stephen Pray. Part-time Pro Stock racer & former Top Sportsman World Champ Brandon Miller won another TS Wally taking the Final Round win over Amanda LaChapelle by .005 at the Finish Line. Other Sunday Winners from Lebanon Valley include Michael Sullivan (Top Dragster), Joe Santangelo (Stock Eliminator), TC Smith (Super Comp), Steven Van Craeynest (Super Street), Emily Burns (Jr Dragster 11+) and Anthony Fetch (Juniors 6-10). The NHRA D1 series continues on to Numidia, Pennsylvania for a Double Header later this month.
