Billy Pauch continued his dominance at New Egypt Speedway was his 2nd Tuesday-night victory in 2-weeks, as he picked up the $3,000 victory. He now has 12 wins on the season, all of which have come at New Egypt.

Stewart Friesen has also been enjoying a solid season, after Jim Gabriel blew a tire late in the race while leading, Friesen passed Steve Hulsizer for the lead and never looked back, picking up his 18th win of the season, tying him with Matt Sheppard for the most on the year. I-88 Speedway is the sixth track Friesen has won at this year, he's also picked up victories at Volusia, Brewerton, Five Mile Point, and Utica Rome.

Danny Johnson was driving for Mark Forte Sr tonight at New Egypt. Also, we've learned that Jim Crawn has decided to once again enter retirement. The former Five Mile Point big block champion picked up a victory earlier this year at Thunder Mountain Speedway. Brian Malcolm will run for the team that Crawn vacated the rest of the year.

New Egypt & I-88 Tonight

Two big races are tonight (Tuesday) August 30th. First up, the Thunder on the Thruway Series invades I-88 Speedway for a $5,000-to-win event for the big block modifieds. Also tonight, the big block modifieds battle for $3,000 to win at New Egypt Speedway.

Results will be posted tomorrow.

Mr. DIRT Track USA Postponed: Weekend Schedule

The $17,500 to win Super DIRTcar Series race at Lebanon Valley Speedway was postponed last night after mulitple rain showers rolled through the area. The race will take place next Thursday, September 1st.

Here's the weekend schedule this weekend, Lernerville Speedway will crown their 2011 track champion Friday night for all divisions, including the big block modifieds.

Jeremiah Shingledecker leads Dave Murdick by just 10 points heading into the season-finale, with defending champion Kevin Bolland sitting ust 23 points behind Shingledecker.

Also, please note, with Big Diamond having a non-winner's race that isn't open to anyone to compete in, while I will post the results here on Monday, the winner's victory won't be added to the 2011 win total for big/small block modifieds.

End-of-the-year Scheduled Changes

So, a rare weekend post, but I knew if I waited I'd be all kinds of confused.

So, first of all, Big Diamond Raceway has now swapped the dates of the non-winners race (sportsman have a big race that night and are the headline division) to August 26th. Championship night, originally planned for August 26th, will now take part during their popular Coalcracker Weekend, and will be that Friday, September 2nd.

Penn Can Speedway has also changed the date of the Four-Crown Series King of the Can 100. Originally scheduled for October 16th, the track has changed the date to October 14th. There are no other events scheduled for the 14th, while there are a few scheduled for the 16th.

Bridgeport Postponed; Weekend Schedule

Bridgeport Speedway's latest big-block modified event has been postponed for the second time in less than a week. This time, the tentative make-up date is September 24th.

Here's this weekend's HUGE racing weekend, highlighted by the Alex Friesen Summer Nationals at Ransomville Speedway, and the Forrest Rogers Memorial at Grandview Speedway, both of which will pay $10,000 to the winner.

Fantasy League, SDW Tidbits, and Racing

http://jw4.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=301

There's the link to the updated Wago Fantasy League standings after race #3, New Egypt Speedway's Friend's of Mike race. Sorry about the slow update, it won't happen again.

Penn Can has been postponed, a rain date will be announced in the future. Tonight (Wednesday), Fonda Speedway has a complete show and the make up rain date from earlier in the year, both races are Thunder Series events.

Tom Mayberry drove the Roger Updegrove 00 big block modified at Grandview last week. Despite the surprise entry, look for Ray Swinehart to still run some end of the year shows with the team.

Travis Braun has indicated that he will run the full 358 Tour this season, Braun is having a great season already picking up 2 wins at Merrittville Speedway. Braun will run the 358 race at Syracuse.

Jeremy Wilder is rebuilding the big block he blew earlier in the year at Fonda Speedway while leading. He will either run Syracuse with the big block, or run the World Finals with his big block, the decision will be made at a later time. He will be at Syracuse for sure with the 358.

Jimmy Horton, David Hébert, and Rich Scagliotta have announced that they will run big blocks and small blocks at Syracuse this year.

Tim Currier, Justin Haers, and Peter Britten have announced they will run Syracuse with their big blocks. Currier and Britten will be eligible to run the Futures race.

Bob Lineman Racing will not field a car at Syracuse this year, which means Richie Tobias is currently looking for a ride.

Plans are being finalized for Ted Christopher to make his first ever Super DIRT Week start in the Bartemy Racing #2 big block modified. This is the same car he won the New Jersey Motorsports Park race in 2010. The Bartemy team will be at Syracuse with two 358 modifieds, for Adam and Aaron Bartemy.

Alan Johnson looks to be going to Syracuse as a teammate to Bobby Varin for the Kenny Saya-owned team. Johnson has driven for the team in select events this year. The team Johnson drove for last season, as previously noted, will be driven by Brian Swarthout this year as he attempts to qualify for the '200.' He owns the car Johnson drove last year.
