The record books were re-written at this past weekend's Joe's Transmission TNT Super Series double header on Dunn Tire Raceway Park's 1/8th mile drag strip.
Not only did the highly competitive sportsman series set a new record for car count with 33 entrants on Friday night, but Pete Maduri Jr of Tonawanda, NY won both Friday's and Saturday's events presented by Steve's Electric.
This makes him the only TNT competitor to ever win three events in a single season. And he did it in three consecutive races, also winning the previous event at Empire Dragway on June 5th.
"This series is awesome!" said Pete in the DTRP Winner's Circle. "The Monza was running great all day!"
Pete commented that their racing efforts wouldn't be possible without the support they get from Dynabrade Powertools, Ansell/Buffington Company, Rapids Bowling Center and Tonawanda Bowling Center. "And thanks to Joe Boniferro for making the series possible and Steve McCarrick for sponsoring this weekend."
Racing is a family affair for the Maduri's and Pete was quick to thank his dad Pete Sr, mom Nancy and sister Gina. They also run a RaceTech Top Dragster in bracket competition at DTRP and have finished in the top 5 in Top ET points in the last two years and currently sit in 2nd place with team mate Rich Halleen.
The Mehlenbacher Family will be presented with a Legion of Honor award during the weekend event.
