“Dave McLeod Memorial” Western New York 360 Sprint Car Shoot-Out ready to hit Genesee Speedway
Batavia, NY—August 20, 2007--By: Chris Rhynold, Media/Racer Relations Director
The “Dave McLeod Memorial” Western New York 360 Sprint Car Shoot-Out is ready to roll at Genesee Speedway. Sprint Cars have been absent from the Genesee County Fairgrounds for over a decade and the August 25th event will bring sprint car racing back to Genesee Speedway. A race of this magnitude will be a show to remember. The WNY 360 Shoot-Out is the biggest sprint car race ever to be run at the Genesee County Fairgrounds and only the 5th sprint car race to be held at the speedway. 1996, was the last time a sprint race was held at Genesee and Mike Lauterborn the promoter of the speedway was the winner of that event.
Mike Lauterborn thought it would be fitting to name the trophy and event after friend and sprint racer Dave McLeod who past away this past year. McLeod raced all over New York and Ontario and was a friend to many and competed as a racer and car owner with many of the racers that will take part in the return of the sprints.
All of the touring sprint car clubs are off the night of the WNY 360 Shoot-Out which will bring in some of the most talented 360 Sprint Car racers from New York, Ontario and maybe a couple of invaders from Pennsylvania. Competitors from ASCS Patriots, Empire Super Sprints, Southern Ontario Sprints and the Humberstone Bi-Weekly program will all be on hand with names like Hebing, Howland, Suprick, Dempster, Adamczyk, Kreutter, Yonge, Kerrick, VanDusen, Poirier, Bergeron, Cook, Preston and the Breen Brothers to name a few will all be looking to take home the money and the Dave McLeod Memorial trophy.
Following the races Clor’s will be hosting a Chicken Barbeque until Midnight.
