Weedsport, NY – August 5, 2008 – By Dan Kapuscinski, Cayuga County Fair Speedway PR and Promotions Coordinator
This Sunday, August 10th Town Mechanical presents the World Famous Boat Race along with the mighty DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds. Be sure to come to the Speedway and enjoy the craziness of flying boats around the Weedsport oval.
The DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds, DIRTcar Street Stocks, and BattleKarz will also be in action starting at 7pm. The pit area will open Sunday at 4pm, while grandstand gates will swing open at 5pm.
Tickets for all regular season events will be made available at the gate. Adult general admission is set at $12, $10 for Seniors (Age 65+), $5 for children (Ages 10-14), and those under the age of 9 are FREE.
The Big-Block Modifieds made their triumphant return to Cayuga County Fair Speedway last Sunday night, with Matt Sheppard scoring his second victory of 2008. Sheppard passed young Big-Block rookie Mike Mahaney with just 4-laps remaining to score his 9th career win at Cayuga County . Alan Johnson managed to also slip passed Mahaney for second while Jimmy Phelps and Mike Bowman finished the front five.
Jimmy Phelps continues to lead the Big-Block Modified point standings after just five features this season. Alan Johnson sits in the runner-up spot just 6-points behind Phelps. Sheppard, Steve Paine, and Justin Haers fill the top five in the championship hunt.
Defending Sportsman Modified track champion Jeremy Pitcher used the high line to his advantage last Sunday to score win number one of 2008. Fran Hilton and AJ Kingsley checked out from the rest of the field early on, and only Pitcher could chase down the leaders. Hilton and Kingsley held onto second and third at the finish, as Sammy Reakes IV and Beth Schneider rounded out the top five.
With the win Pitcher now pulls himself into a tie with Kevin Ridley for the Sportsman championship lead with 370 points. Tom Juhl, Tim Currier, and Jim Spano are locked in a battle for 3rd through 5th.
Nick Rizzo pulled into victory lane last Sunday in the DIRTcar Street Stock finale. Rizzo now overtakes the point lead from Wayne Ellison.
Bill Werner grabbed the win in the BattleKarz division on August 3rd. Nick Werner continues to lead the standings in the no. 47 as Bill takes over the runner-up position.
