Successful Area Businessmen, Team Owners Continue Support Of Dirt Late Model Division

WINCHESTER, VA – Aug. 22, 2012 – Whom do fans and racers have to thank for bringing a World of Outlaws Late Model Series event to Winchester Speedway this Saturday night (Aug. 25)? Just look at the name of the $10,000-to-win race.

The barnstorming WoO LMS stars and a host of regional and local standouts will compete for glory in the Ernie D’s & Gunter’s Honey 50, a race sponsored by two of dirt Late Model racing’s biggest benefactors: Winchester Speedway owner Greg Gunter and Ernie Davis, a longtime car owner and sponsor (as well as a former driver) affectionately known as the ‘Junk Man.’

It’s successful, race-loving businessmen like Gunter, 65, of Berryville, Va., and Davis, 62, of Martinsburg, W.Va., who help keep the full-fender class rolling along in their home Mid-Atlantic region. (more…)
