Magic at Lernerville
June 14, 2024
4 Stooges Racing Productions presented - Sprint Cars at Lernerville Speedway. About 32 miles North East of Pittsburgh in Sarver, Pennsylvania the most unlikely result in recent memory took place last night. Jerry “Dust Eater” Kerr, a name unfamiliar to most fans won his first race. After years of competing in Off Road Races in the South West and Mexico he is trying his hand at Sprint Car races. So far his Sprint Car record in feature races is dismal. On that rare occasion when he did make it into the features, he was usually racing for last place.
Tonight we saw a new and improved racer. Kerr led 33 of the 35 lap feature in a performance that reminded you of some of the old timers. When Kerr took the lead on the 3rd lap you could sense the excitement of the moment to the top of the grandstands. The fans were on their feet and never set down as Kerr pounded around the track. Keeping a steady hand he finished over 4 seconds ahead of Craig “bottom Feeder” Vaught with Wally “Wall Banger” Maulsby following up in third place in the Alykatz Motorsports car.
As Kerr took to the podium you could hear the chatter in the crowd, “who is this guy? And where did he come from?” But among those folks you could hear the cheers from his family and friends as they went crazy celebrating his win. You can see members of the Law firm Dewey, Cheatum and Howe rushing to the podium. They are Kerr’s main sponsor with associate sponsor Racing Seats by Mike Easter. Kerr’s crew accommodations are provided by the Horseshoe Rode Inn.
It will be a long time before we see another performance like this at Lernerville Speedway.
