That drama will continue this Sunday, August 30, when Daryl’s Heavy Truck Repair and Gardner’s Landscape present a full slate of Modifieds, Sportsman, Pro Stocks, and Pure Stocks. Racing begins promptly at 5:30 p.m. with gates opening at 3 p.m. </div> <div> The magic number for Pat Ward this Sunday is seven, as that is the number of points he needs to add to his total that separates him and second place point Stewart Friesen to secure his second consecutive championship. If Ward is able to widen his margin by that number, combined with a start on September 6, he will again take home the $8,000 Modified championship. Behind Friesen in the standings and looking to improve their positions in the standings include Bobby Varin, Todd Burley, Ronnie Johnson, Willy Decker, Paul Kinney, Danny Varin, Jamie Christian, and Brian Weaver. Three drivers, Ted Lamb, Alan Barker, and Casey Williams, sit just outside the top ten in the point standings with ideas to crack into one of the paying positions. </div> <div> With a start this Sunday, Jason Rood will take another step in securing his first ever Sportsman title at the popular Vernon oval. His closest competitor is Jeff Leslie, 68 points behind followed by Steve Way, and Matt Janczuk. The rest of the top ten is filled by Mike Button, John DeForest, AJ Filbeck, Craig Pope, and Claude Hutchings, Jr. </div> <div> A three time champion in the Pro Stocks already, Tom Denton is looking to add another with two solid finishes in the remaining point events. Denton has been chased all season long by newcomer Rocky Warner followed by Bret Belden, Bill Knapp, Jim Normoyle, Shawn Frost, Mark Effner, AJ Digsby, Chris Mackey, and Rob Seavy. </div> <div> Ron Hawker has been dominating the Pure Stock division all season long, and now all that is left is that he takes home his first Utica-Rome Speedway championship. Defending champion Chris Carr has been pursuing Hawker for the majority of the 2009 season, along with Frank Hyatt, Chris Cunningham, Bill Mason, Rob Thieme, Jim Thomas, Cale Hoffman, Phil Norman, and Mike Harrison. </div> <div> Remember, the season ending New Yorker 200 Weekend is rapidly approaching on Friday and Saturday September 11-12. On Friday September 11, the sail panel clad Modifieds will compete for $3,000 in a 30 lap tune up with the winner getting a guaranteed spot for the New Yorker 200. The Sportsman, Pro Stocks in a Best of Three Pro Stocks Thunder Series event, and the Pure Stocks will also be in action. Then Saturday, September 12, the sail paneled Modifieds will again be in action but this time, big money will be on the line. The winner of the New Yorker 200 will take home $10,000, with $1,000 being paid just to start the event.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>MODIFIEDS ADDED TO FRIDAY NIGHT OF NEW YORKER 200 WEEKEND, $3,000 AND GUARANTEED SPOT UP FOR GRABS</B></div> <bR> <div> Not only will the Modifieds battle for a $3,000 payday for the 30 lap affair, the winner will get a guaranteed spot in the $10,000 to win $1,000 to start New Yorker 200. Many of the competitors will use this event to fine tune their sail panel clad cars for Saturday’s finale. New Yorker 200 rules will be in place for this event. </div> <div> In another 30 lap event, the Sportsman will compete for a $1,500 to win payday while the Pro Stocks will battle for $1,000 in a 25 lap main. 20 laps will be the distance for the Pure Stocks, searching for a $500 check. </div> <div> Gates open on Friday September 11 at 4 p.m. with racing getting underway at 7 p.m. On Saturday September 12, the gates will open at Noon with qualifying events starting at 4 p.m. </div> <div> Just minutes from the New York State Thruway, the Utica-Rome Speedway is located on Route 5 in Vernon, NY. </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
