The sun was setting over the New York State Fairgrounds when Billy Decker finally rolled out to make his qualifying attempt Thursday afternoon. Many of the pole-favorites made their time trial runs early in the session, and it was Australian hot-shoe Peter Britten atop the charts when Decker made his run. Britten outlasted dozens of competitors on the top of the charts, but Decker’s lap of 32.997 knocked the popular Aussie to second. Decker was the only driver to crack the 33-second barrier en route to his fifth career modified pole at Syracuse. The final driver to take to the…More

Rain Dominates the Day at the Mile. October 4th, 2012
There wasn’t supposed to be much on-track action Wednesday on the Mile at Syracuse. In fact, the only scheduled on-track activity was set to be a Modified happy hour practice that was slated to hit the famed speedway at 3pm. Unfortunately, mother nature had different plans, washing out all on-track activities for Wednesday. The rain didn’t slow down our photographers, who were on the scene in the inspection line and the pit area grabbing some cool photos from the days activities.

Perrotte transported to hospital after fall from hauler; racing promoter’s Super DIRT Week ends early October 6th, 2012
Mike Perrotte was transported to a local medical center after falling from his team’s hauler Friday night.

It was Kinser’s 12th victory in 35 World of Outlaws events at the fast 5/8-mile and it snapped a 40-race winless streak in points events. “We’ve…More
