11) DOUG
WHOLEY
#98 Ideal Cesspool Pontiac |
The Hurricane showed nights where he could have taken
down the win, but was overpowered in the end! Doug had 9
top tens and 1 top five. He also had many distractions
on his mind, including a Modified ride and many nights
where he sponsored many divisions! However in
2005, Wholey is planning to concentrate more on the Late
Model and a solid run for points. |

12) DENNIS
KRUPSKI
#12 Select Marketing Pontiac |
In one or two races, Dennis looked to be the strongest
car of the night. He’s improved a lot this year and I'm
looking forward to his progress in 2005. 5 top tens and
3 top fives. |

13) ANDY
LOKKEBERG
#84 Big Bast Chevrolet Chevy |
The start of the year looked to be the year Andy
would break free of the gremlins, but they came back
mid-season, hindering his performance. 6 top tens, 3
top fives. |

14) KEVIN
METZGER
#23 SPONSORS WANTED Chevy |
2004 saw Kevin Metzger get into a few different
scuffles on the track, which hurt him in the
points. This usual championship contender had a
horrid year with 6 top tens and 3 top fives, and 1
missed race. |

15) EDDIE
STEIN
#5 East Coast Well Drilling Chevy |
In the former 2000 championship car
of Gregg Shivers, Stein has failed to get a handle
on the unique GSM chassis. Stein managed to
eke out only 5 top 10's in 13 starts. |

16) KENNY
ALFANO
#35 SPONSORS WANTED Chevy |
It was great to see Kenny Alfano back on a
consistent basis at year’s end. 12 races but only 1
top ten, although Alfano has improved a lot on an
ill handling car. |

17) KEITH
ROTZI
#21 P-E-K Construction Chevy |
2004 could have been the year Keith came home with a
win. He looked extremely strong at the beginning of
the season, but curtailed after a few hard hitting
accidents that sidelined his car. Only 2 top tens
in 12 races. For 2005, Keith's schedule may be
limited as he is attending the NASCAR Technical
Institute for college. |

18) JACK
HANDLEY SR.
#49 Continental Abstract Chevy |
Jack tried hard to get used to the #49 machine, but
seemed to struggle a lot on the setup! I do however
give him credit for starting at the rear of the
field many nights to stay out of the way of the
faster competitors. Hopefully in 2005 he gets a
handle of the more powerful Late Models in the same
fashion he did with the Blunderbusts. |

19) JACK
ORLANDO
#07 Staria Automative Chevy |
With only 4 races under his belt, Jack Orlando
looked strong and poised to take down a win! He did
have 1 top five and made all four races in the top
ten. Jack looks like a natural in the Late Models
and the grapevine is telling me that he may be a
welcomed permanent addition to the fendered elite at
Riverhead Raceway. |

BILLY WHEELER
#82 Spring & Summer Pontiac |
Wheeler ran most of his races out of
state, but in the two races he ran at Riverhead he
looked exceptionally strong earning 1 top five and 2
top tens out of only 2 starts. |
