Bill Tunny, Jr., was tops in Round Four of the Speedrome' s
post-season Late Models vs. SuperModifieds "Showdown on the
Roundy-Round" with a half-lap win over his nephew, Mark
Tunny. Last week's winner, Doug Greig, started from the pole and
led most of the race with hard challenges from veteran SuperMod
driver Billy George and the Late Models of Mark Tunny, Curtis
McMurtrey and George Sutton. Greig led from the green flag to Lap
60 of the 75-lapper, often with Billy George outside until a brush
into the wall slowed George with damage. Bill Tunny took control
after a Lap 54 restart saw Greig trapped down low and Tunny
unwilling to back off. Tunny claimed the lead with 15 remaining
and ran off with the win. Mark Tunny shook off a late spin after
tangling with Kelly Schaffer in her racing debut to take second
from Greig on the white flag. Greig held on to third ahead of
McMurtrey, Green, Sutton and George. Mark Tunny was fastest in the
time trials, tying the track record at 13.092 with Tunny, Jr.
topping the dash.
