Weedsport, NY – August 6, 2007 – Tom Skibinski, Cayuga County Fair Speedway PR Director
Want to see how fast a boat can go out of water? Be on hand August 12 at Cayuga County Fair Speedway when the ‘World Famous Boat Race’ takes to the banked 3/8-miler on Sunday evening.
Traditional DIRTcar Racing divisions headlining Valley Tire Night at The Port include the premier Big-Block Modifieds, Sportsman Modifieds and Street Stocks, with special appearances made by the Mod Lites and Central New York Mini-Sprints. Qualifying races are slated to start at 7 p.m., pit gates unlock at 4 o’clock and grandstands open to the public at 5 p.m.
Track point leaders continue to show the way with Jimmy Phelps (Modified), Shawn Donath (Sportsman) and Nick Rizzo (Street Stock) each pulling into victory lane this past Sunday to move closer to their first-ever season championship in Cayuga County.
Phelps has copped three of the past four Big-Block main events run at The Port while points runner-up Steve Paine is still in search of his first Weedsport Modified win in five years. Top-5 runners Justin Haers (1 win), Danny Johnson (3) and rising star Derrrick Podsiadlo are each looking for a share of the season-ending points crown while Billy Dunn (1), Vince Vitale and Chad Homan continue to lay the ground work for a future trip to victory lane.
Seven Sportsman feature wins between them have kept frontrunners Donath (4) and Jeremy Pitcher (3) headed toward a late-season confrontation with neither driving retreating in their quest for the coveted Cayuga County crown. Joe Williams, Tim Currier and rookie Mike Mahaney are longshots with just four point shows remaining on the ‘07 CCFS scorecard.
A trio of first-place trophies this season has allowed Nick Rizzo to pull away from the hungry pack of Street Stock chauffeurs, with Steve Woodworth and Jim Wallace running neck-and-neck for the runner-up position ahead of national UMP points contender Dave Mannise and Van Grant.
Bill Werner continues to reign supreme in the season-long BattleKarz points chase, logging four feature wins along the way and earning the first two Nan-Way Newsletter ‘Driver of the Month’ awards for June and July. Karl Werner (3 wins) and Nick Werner (1) keep it all in the family as they remain among the top-three point earners.
The following Sunday, Aug. 19, Cayuga County hosts the Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series for Big-Block Modifieds in an event rain-delayed from May 27. The rescheduled Twin 53-lap tour races also make up round four in the 5 Star Series.
