First, let me apologize, there won't be a weekend roundup this week and I'm having some computer issues. However, there were 2 huge races this past weekend that saw two drivers collect $10,000 wins!
On Thursday, the 1st ever Hard Clay Challenge was on hand at Orange County Fair Speedway, and it was Jerry Higbie who went on to pick up the small block modified feature win after passing Bobby Varin late in the race to go on and collect the win. Andy Bachetti snuck passed Varin for 2nd, Varin was 3rd, and rounding out the top 5 were Brett Hearn and Matt DeLorenzo. Special thanks to Suitcase Sanchelli for all he did for Club Wago at this event, and thanks to everyone that stopped by! We had a great time with all of you!
On Friday, the Alex Friesen Summer Nationals were on hand at Ransomville Speedway. Stewart Friesen honored his popular late uncle with the $10,000 victory. Friesen held off Hearn and Danny Johnson in a late race duel through lap traffic. Hearn and Johnson finished 2nd and 3rd, while Rick Richner and Scott Kerwin rounded out the top 5.
Here's a look back at who's won the big modified races thus far this season.
Victoria 200 (big blocks $10,000 to win)- Tim McCreadie
All-Star 50 (big blocks $10,000 to win)- Matt Sheppard
Friends of Mike 100 (big blocks $15,000 to win)- Willie Osmun
Hard Clay Challenge 40 (small blocks $10,000 to win)- Jerry Higbie
Alex Friesen Summer Nationals 100 (small blocks $10,000 to win)- Stewart Friesen
The big shows are just now approaching, this weekend the Forrest Rogers Memorial 50 is on hand for the small block modifieds at Grandview Speedway to battle it out for $10,000.
In other news, the New Yorker 200 will now be the New Yorker 100. The race will run all-green flag laps with a break at lap 50 and will still pay $10,000 to win and $1,000 to start.
Keith Flach and Vinnie Vitale will be at Super Dirt Week with big block modifieds. John Willman will run at Super Dirt Week with a small block.
Also, Wade Hendrickson fans, don't worry that John McClelland has been running the Michaels Brothers Racing 51m big block as of late. The team is currently running with McClelland's motor in the car, when the team's own motor returns, Hendrickson will return to the drivers seat.
Remember, the RoC Dirt Tour is in action tomorrow (Tuesday) night at Penn Can Speedway. The race will also determine the champion of Brett Deyo's "Summer Shootout Series" which will award a bonus $1,000 to the winner.
Finally, the next Club Wago Crown Jewel Fantasy League race is this Saturday (Forrest Rogers Memorial, however, I'll be leaving for the beach that day and won't be back until next week, so the fantasy league standings will be late being posted. I apologize for the inconvenience.
