Craig Von Dohren came from 22nd to win the Freedom 76er, Doug Hoffman making his first start of the year got up along side of him on the last lap, but it wasn't enough, and CVD collected the $20,000 win for the 2nd time in his career. He also won the Forrest Rogers Memorial earlier this year at Grandview which paid $10,000 to win.
The innagural Jiffy 150 at Autodrome Drummond was a great success. A strong field and a good strong came out to support the $15,000 to win show. The race came down to a family rivalry. Danny O'Brien was leading on a late race restart when brother Pat O'Brien slipped by, but Danny O'Brien made the last lap pass to win arguable the biggest race of his career.
The 19th running of the New Yorker 200 had a rain delay, high attrition, and saw only 3 cars finish on the lead lap. In the end, it was Bobby Varin collecting the huge win, which paid $10,000. All 3 shows had over 45 cars, so all races saw great turnouts. Congratulations to all 3 winners.
In other racing news, Billy Pauch swept twin 35 lap features at New Egypt to give himself a cushion over Keith Hoffman going into the final points night next Saturday. The king of Run Whatcha Brung Stephane LaFrance picked up another RWYB show at Brockvile. Chad James continued his breakout season with his 3rd win of the year at Bridgeport. Matt DeLorenzo won the open competition show at Fonda Speedway as well, Bobby Varin went to Fonda after winning the New Yorker and finished 6th after starting last.
Tomorrow will be another fairly big day in racing, and it'll complete a huge week in racing. The STAR Series will invade the Five Mile Point Speedway, and the T3 All-Star Series will run at Woodhull Raceway (race was rained out from tonight.)
