 Jay Turner won
his third Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley race of the season, defeating Doug Vancil in the
final, 6.637/209.01 to 6.596/207.08. Turner, the Nitro Harley points leader has won the
Empire Nationals title two years in a row."This
is the first time we have ever repeated and it's special. The racing gods smile on you
some days and this was one of them," added the Whitsett, NC native.
Cordova winner Steve Stordeur and runner-up Johnny Mancuso
were eliminated in the first round, putting Team Mancuso on the trailer early. "It
shows how competitive Nitro Harley is," said a dejected Mancuso. "One week
you're the hero, the next week you're the goat."
Turner, who celebrated his 34th birthday at New York
International has built a big lead in Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley, leading Mancuso 526 to
393.
