Small Weekend Round-Up

First of all, just an update on the Thompson Motorsports situation, Dougs Dirt Diary broke the news that Caprara is actually NOT out of the Thompson Motorsports big block, instead, the team will run 2 cars the rest of the year. Johnson will focus on Super Dirt Series and other select specials throughout the rest of the year, Caprara will run at Cayuga County Fair Speedway, and part-time at Can Am Motorsports Park, with some specials thrown in as well. Still no word on who's going to drive the Petruska Racing #66 for the rest of the year.

Also, Mike Romano will jump into the owner role, starting tonight with the Thunder Series race at Fonda Speedway, Danny Johnson will drive Romano's #97 big block modified in that event tonight.

Now, I'm having problems with the site right now, so this is going to be a short round weekend round up, because for some reason it won't let me post the whole thing, I get a message about it being to long. So, here's who had big weekends this weekend.

There were 2 $10,000 to win races this past weekend. One was at New Egypt Speedway, for Friends of Mike which was 40 laps and $10,000 to win for big block modifieds, and the other was the 50 lap Forrest Rogers Memorial at Grandview Speedway for the small block modifieds. Billy Pauch continued his dominance at New Egypt with the win there, and Ryan Godown ended his string of bad luck with the big win at Grandview.

Matt Sheppard won twice this weekend, on Friday night at Brewerton, and Saturday night at Canandaigua, and backed that up with a win Monday night in the Super Dirt Series race at Merrittville Speedway.

Two drivers swept twin-features this weekend, Jimmy Horton accomplished that feat that Bridgeport Speedway to make it 3 wins in a row at the huge 5/8th mile, and Randy Thomas won twin feature on the asphalt at Mahoning Valley Speedway.

Ransomville Speedway saw the 358 Super Dirt Series invade for the Alex Friesen Summernationals, it was Danny Johnson who made his return to the Dave Thompson Motorsports team and picked up the win.

The Lucas Oil Small Block Series was also in action this past weekend for two races, on Friday night David Hebert took the 100 lap feature win at Autodrome Edelweiss, and on Saturday Danny O'Brien defended his home turf with a win in the 100 lapper at Brockville-Ontario Speedway.

Finally, there was a career big block modified win #1 this past weekend, and it came at Five Mile Point Speedway, as up-and-comer Wade Decker picked up the popular first career win.
