I was there. Drove 8 1/2 hours. Jennerstown was a new track for me and I was excited to see it on the USAC Silver Crown schedule.

Yes, the race was a stinker. Not gonna lie. However, I have to mention some positives:

- The crowd was HUGE. I would estimate 4-5,000. Probably the biggest crowd I’ve seen for a Silver Crown race in years.
- Admission was only $20. There was a $5 fee for parking.
- The track itself reminds of IRP. I’d say it’s almost a carbon copy. BIG half mile.
- The facility is first class. Clean, professional. Great light, PA system, Jumbotron. And it’s a very neat setting. Jennerstown has a population of about 700 people and the track is right in town. Kinda like Port Royal. Lots of history too. They’ve been racing here since 1930.
- The car count was disappointing. However, out of the three divisions racing at Jennerstown, the Crown cars had the biggest car count. The track’s weekly late model division only had 11 cars. The charger (street stock) class had 13. I didn’t hear the locals complain about the USAC car count.
- Taylor Ferns put on a show to finish fourth. There was some good racing all night from 2nd on back.
- Coming from Illinois, I came out I-70 and took US 30 when I got into Pennsylvania. What a scenic drive that is. US 30 winds it’s way up into the Laurel Mountains where Jennerstown sits. That drive alone was worth the trip. Although, it was a little hairy coming down the mountain at night.
