[Rumble Racing Series]

BULLETIN:

Veteran Russ Gamester won the 50-lap midget feature Friday night in the 16th annual Rumble in Fort Wayne, joining Mike Fedorcak as the only drivers to win both at the Coliseum Expo Center and at the former Memorial Coliseum track.

Gamester, a 48-year-old from Peru, Ind., powered past Joe Liguori on lap 16, then easily held off Grant Galloway for the victory after a restart with two laps to go. Liguori finished third, with Billy Wease and Matt Westfall completing the top five.
