Chester, PA — It was an outstanding day for Harrah’s Philadelphia leading driver George Napolitano Jr. as he picked up eight driving wins on the Monday afternoon (May 25) program.

Napolitano started off with a bang as he drove 5-year-old gelding Rude Boy (trainer Kevin Carr) to victory. The son of Armbro Deuce brushed at the quarter and went on to an easy win, stopping the clock in a lifetime’s best 1:51.1.

Other winners included Silvermass Volo (trainer Jan Johnson), Cereal Lover (trainer Pete Giannaris), Gymokee Jerry (trainer Frank Hartline ), JS McFlash (trainer Christie Collins), All Week (trainer Joe Hundertpfund Jr.), Meshwhogonna (trainer Jacob Hartline), and Handsome Henry K (trainer Doug Lewis).

Napolitano went on to sweep the early Pick-3. He also won three of four races in the Pick-4.

The defending driving champion is once again in first place in the driving standings, with Corey Callahan currently second.
