Then on Sunday it’s the familiar holiday stop at the Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, N.Y.
Top stars and the top three in points for ’07 in Steve Poirier, Jeff VanDusen (Who leads the Lucas Oil points) and Lance Yonge have all visited victory lane at Granby and will be among the favorites on this night as well. Just one month ago, Jeff Cook took is first victory there and he now sits fourth in the overall points making him a strong favorite as well. To go along with local favorite Michael Parent, Mike Stelter and many more the final event at Granby will again be an exciting one.
