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.

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. Another down-to-the-wire points battle is taking place, as 3 drivers have a shot at the title tomorrow night. 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.
