Empire Super Sprint Stars Ready for the Sprint Challenge at Rolling Wheels this Saturday.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The final event is ready to take place on the 2007 season for the Empire Super Sprints (ESS) and the tour brought to you by Jacobs Motorsports. It’s the annual Sprint Challenge at the Rolling Wheels Raceway Park this Saturday night as a part of Super DIRT Week. The annual stop for the winged machines has become a tradition for DIRTcar’s week of speed held at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, N.Y.
The half-mile known as the “Fast Track” is located a mere 15 minutes west of the Fairgrounds and more than 60 of the best 360 sprint car drivers in the Northeast and Canada will be on hand in hopes of getting the $3,000 top prize for the 25 lap A-Main. The event is co-sanctioned by ESS as well as the United Racing Company but will also see entrants from ASCS Patriot Region and the Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) to make for an all-star event.
Heading the brigade from the ESS banner will be newly crowned champion Steve Poirier along with runner-up in points and Lucas Oil Canadian Invasion champion Jeff VanDusen, two-time champion Lance Yonge, defending champion Alain Bergeron, fourth place in points Jeff Cook as well as other stars such as Michael Parent, Tommy Wickham, Bubby Kerrick, Mike Stelter, Justin Barger, Cory Sparks, Brian McDonald and Jessica Zemken.
With the likes of defending event winner Chuck Hebing, Curt Michael, Jared Zimbardi, SOS champion Glenn Styres, Kramer Williamson, Brian Seidel, the Breen Brothers, Blake and Bobby, Michael Carber, Bryan Howland along with previous race winners in Becca Anderson, Rick Wilson, Trevor Lewis and possibly Dan Kaszubinski. This event has the makings of a must see.
Along with the $3,000 on top, it’s $1,600 for second, $1,100 for third on down to $400 for tenth and $250 to take the green. The event is an open draw format with $100 for all non-qualified cars. Fans will see some six heats, three B-Mains, a special Walt’s Hobby Dash to go with the 25 lap finale.
Pit Gates open at 2PM with racing to begin at 7PM sharp. It’s a sprint car and ESS tradition since 1994, the sprint challenge at Rolling Wheels and it will be excitement guaranteed!
