BREWERTON, NY – May 3, 2017 – The long wait is finally over since the final checkered of the 2016 season waved last October at the Brewerton Speedway. This Friday, May 5Universal Metal Works & K-ROCK presents American Diabetes Association 2017 opening night.On the exciting four star race card will be the ground pounding, 800 horsepower Tracey Road Equipment DIRTcar Modifieds, SUNY Canton DIRTcar Sportsman, Firehouse Subs Mod Lites and JB Logging & Firewood 4-Cylinders.
Adult admission is $12 with everyone 18 years old and younger FREE with pits $27 for members and $30 non-member. Gates will open at 5:30 with the first heat at 7:30.
The Tracey Road Equipment Modified division has always been tough to get a feature win with weekly competitors that include Jimmy Phelps, Larry Wight, Pat Ward, Tim Sears Jr., Tom Sears Jr., Chris Hile, Tim Kerr, Chad Phelps, Max McLaughlin, Mike Bowman and others. The intensity got turned up a notch during the off-season when Billy Decker, Gary Tomkins and Mike Mahaney said they will make the ‘D-Shaped Dirt Demon’ their weekly Friday race place.
Gary Tomkins recently related that every race is going to be like a Modified Super DIRTcar Series race with the level of competition.
Ron Davis III will be back to defend his SUNY Canton DIRTcar Sportsman Championship. In 2016 the level of competition was so tough the championship wasn’t decided until the final point race. The 2017 championship chase doesn’t look to be any different.
Jeff Sykes will be back to defend his first ever Firehouse Subs Mod Lite championship. With race teams always stepping up their game, it’s anyone’s guess who will walk away with the title this season.
The JB Logging & Firewood 4-Cylinders always put on some of the best weekly racing at the speedway. In 2016 Ray Bechler did what doesn’t happen too often, dethrone Chuck Powelczyk as track champion.
