Ryan Phelps has HUGE Weekend; Weekend Round-up

Well, it was a huge weekend of racing, that saw Friday night as a complete wash, but a beautiful Saturday and Sunday made up for it.

Saturday night saw a slew of special shows on the east coast. The Canadian Dirt Series was in action at Autodrome Drummond for a 100 lap feature for the small block modifieds, David Hebert went on to pick up the popular win. In other small block action from Saturday, Kevin Hirthler and Craig Von Dohren split features at Grandview Speedway, Jerry Higbie won at Orange County Fair Speedway, and Larry Lampman used lap traffic to pick up the win at Merrittville Speedway. In big block action from Saturday night, the Thunder Series was at Fonda Speedway for a 50 lap, $5,000 to win feature, and Tony Pepicelli shocked the field to pick up his first win in close to 5 years. The Super Dirt Series was in action for preliminary night at Cayuga County Fair Speedway, and Ryan Phelps pulled off the upset win, which was the first series win of his career. In other action from Saturday for big blocks, Kenny Tremont notched off another win at Lebanon Valley Speedway, Joe Morel picked up career big block modified win at Orange County Fair Speedway, Chad Jones picked up his second win of the season at Mahoning Valley Speedway, Rob Kristyak picked up the popular win at Sharon Speedway, Martin Roy added another win to his total at Airborne Speedway, Bobby Puckett and Brian Weaver split features at Five Mile Point Speedway, Billy Pauch continued his dominance at New Egypt Speedway with another win, Jimmy Horton continued to build momentum with another win at Bridgeport Speedway, and Jamie Mills won topless night at Delaware International Speedway.

On Sunday, it was time for the All-Star 100 which paid $1,000 just to take the green for the Super Dirt Series big block modifieds, and $20,000 to win. When it was all said and done, it was Ryan Phelps who shocked the modified world to complete the sweep of All-Star Weekend. In other big block action from Sunday night, Pat Ward picked up his second win in a row at Utica Rome Speedway, and Kenny Tremont picked up his second win of the weekend with another win at Devils Bowl Speedway.

Congratulations to all this past weekends winners, especially the only Wago driver to win this past weekend, Ryan Phelps, who won 2 races this past weekend, which netted him $23,000 for the weekend!
