As the "post-season" big money races continue, 2 more drivers collected huge pay days this past weekend. On Saturday night, the New Yorker 200 was run at Utica Rome Speedway, 53 cars signed into the pits, and after blowing an engine in his heat, Brett Hearn was the show, as he came from the consi to challenge for the lead late in the race. However, there was a Hurricane brewing, and the Jet just couldn't catch it. Steve Paine passed Pat Ward and Bobby Varin early in the second half of the 200 lapper, and went on to dominate the last portion of the race, collecting his biggest win of the year. Hearn hung on to finish second, followed by Bobby Varin, Ronnie Johnson, and Pat Ward, who rounded out the top 5.
On Sunday night, the 358 Super Dirt Series had their biggest race to date as they invaded Autodrome Granby for 150 laps and a $10,000 pay-day. After Michel Chicoine started on the pole, it was Brett Hearn who dominated the race, until early in the second half of the race, when a battery problem caused him to go pit-side, handing the lead to Billy Decker, who went on to dominate the late stages of the race and pick up his second win worth 5-figures this season. Finishing second was Larry Wight, followed by Mario Clair, Matt Sheppard, and David Hebert, who rounded out the top 5.
The 358 Dirt Series was also in action at Brockville Ontario Speedway, there, it was Pat O'Brien slipped passed Billy Decker with 30 laps to go to pick up the $4,000 win. Rounding out the top 5 there were Decker, Danny O'Brien, Pete Bicknell, and Dale Planck.
Also, Humberstone Speedway had a race for the small block modifieds, that saw Dave Blaney invade and win in a back-up Scott Wood car. At Albany-Saratoga Speedway's points finale, Ronnie Johnson picked up the win, but Kenny Tremont capped off his second track championship of 2009.
The Club Wago Fantasy League from both the New Yorker 200, and the Granby 150, will be posted by tonight.
