Deyo Day

Hopefully none of you guys are too depressed as we face our first weekend with no racing scheduled since early March. Fret not, as there are still 2 races left for the mighty modifieds as next weekend they tackle the asphalt during the fabled Turkey Derby Weekend for a 50-lapper and also Brett Deyo's "Gobbler" comes to life at Accord Speedway.

Speaking of Brett Deyo, he's stealing all the headlines today.

After hosting the Short Track SuperNationals at Five Mile Point Speedway for the past 5-seasons, Deyo has announced that the event will return to the facility where the Short Track SuperNationals was born, I-88 Speedway. The innagural Short Track SuperNationals were ran at I-88 (then known as Afton Speedway) in October of 2006. The "working man's race" will continue to be held during Super DIRT Week. Don't be surprised to see Five Mile Point also schedule a race this night.

Deyo has also announced another new promotion, the "Hard Clay Open." The event will be held on Sunday, March 23 at Orange County Fair Speedway. The modifieds will race for at least $5,000 to win and $500 to start.

As I already stated, Deyo's season will conclude in 2-weeks with "The Gobbler." A couple of one-off deals have been announced for that race. Jimmy Davis will jump aboard Elmo Reckner's back-up for the race--and Mike Kolka has landed a ride aboard Everett Haubrich's small block.
