Ransomville, NY – Friday, June 29, 2007 – Another stellar night of
racing took place last Friday night at Ransomville Speedway. Bright
blue skies and a packed house greeted the ASCS Patriot Sprints who made
their first of two appearances for 2007. A total of eighty-one cars
signed in pitside to do battle in the three scheduled divisions.
Jared Zimbardi of Little Valley, NY took top honors aboard the ASCS
Patriot Sprint twenty lap feature main. Zimbardi took control at the
drop of the green and maintained the top spot through the entire
distance. Zimbardi had to withstand several challenges by Chuck Hebing
in the closing laps. Zimbardi took the win over Hebing, Ray Preston,
John Schuyler, and Blake Breen. One red flag slowed the pace after
Geoff Quakenbush flipped on the front stretch on lap twelve. Quakenbush
was a okay but his racer suffered substantial damage.
Jipp Ortiz of Ransomville, NY became the seventh different winner
aboard the Original Pizza Logs Sportsman division. Ortiz piloted his
Original Pizza Logs sponsored #0 by Ed Cain on lap nineteen and
maintained the top spot through the final six circuits. Cain and Steve
Miller battled for second with Miller taking the position on the final
laps. This was Miller’s best finish of his rookie season. Cain backed
up his early feature win with a third place finish last Friday followed
by Tommy Flannigan and Steve Schumacher. Many thanks are extended to
Ortiz, Miller, and Schumacher who all took part in the 50/50 sell-off
at intermission. The trio raised $900 in the sell-off.
