Two NJ Drivers on Entry List to Challenge Ryan Newman at New Hampshire

  The entry list for this weekend's NASCAR Whelen Modified race at New Hampshire gives Jersey race fans two hopes for defeating Ryan Newman, and another former Sprint Cup driver who is entered. While neither has had much luck in the past at the New England track, one is a past champion, and the other is surely looking to return to much-missed winning ways.
  Jamie Tomaino, of Howell, is a former NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Champion, taking the title in 1990. He has been on the tour since it's inception, and, in fact has only missed 5 starts out of the possible 530 races run in it's history. While he has 3 wins, on the tour, none have come at New Hampshire.
  Tomaino will be behind the wheel of his familiar number 99 Chevrolet, sponsored by Supreme Manufacturing Company. Making it a truly family effort, Jamie's son, Trey, will serve as crewchief on the team's effort.
  The other New Jersey driver on the entry list for New Hampshire is Jimmy Blewett. While Blewett has never won a championship on tour, he does have more wins than Tomaino with 5. However, he too has never won at the "Magic Mile."
  Blewett may actually be more hungry for a win than Tomaino. Jimmy was a multi-time winner seemingly ever year for most of his career. This year, however, he decided to try a new challenge, dirt. The new cars, and surface, have been just that, a challenge. Although he has performed much better lately, he is certainly not on his way to the type of year he had grown accustomed to. A win at New Hampshire would certainly make his year.
  Jimmy, will be driving the famous red number 14, owned by Dick Barney, and sponsored by Ling Trucking and Atlantic Sprinkler. Much like Blewett, this team, which has quite an impressive history in the Northeast, hasn't had much success lately.
  Both Jersey drivers, as well as the rest of the field, will certainly have their hands full with Sprint Cup driver Ryan Newman, who, once again, will be behind the wheel of the number 7. He will be joined in the field by former Dale Earnhardt crewchief, and former Sprint Cup driver, Andy Petree, who will be driving the number 5, a Troyer he built himself.
  While we don't know if either of our New Jersey representatives will end up in victory lane, what we do know is the Modified Tour race will certainly be the best event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway all weekend.
  Good luck, guys, make Jersey proud !
