WILLIAMSON, NY…Tommy Catalano picked up his tenth Sunoco Modified feature win at Spencer Speedway last Friday. He was able to lead the entire 35-laps, besting Mike Leaty at the finish line.
“That was a long race for sure,” stated Catalano. “The car started off really good, but got a bit off near the end. I was not looking for a caution then.”
The Super Six feature saw eventual feature winner Tim Faro and Brand Allen run side-by-side for 17 laps. During that time Allen was only able to stick his nose in front twice. In the end Faro rolled home the winner.
“Brandon is my best friend,” stated Faro. “I wouldn’t race anyone else like that. That was so fun.”
The Grandpa Dog 4-Cyclinders saw Maddy Virts lead the entire 15-lap distance. When asked why she is so fast her comment was, “I have a red car and red cars are fast.”
A special appearance by the Classic Asphalt Modifieds took place also. . Mark Tychoniewitz wheels his number 99 Pinto bodied Modified home in first. The real show during the feature was Darryl Ruggles who ran third, spun. He then came back to third again, only to spin a second time. That event put him out of the race.
This coming Friday, June 16, sees the New York SuperStocks return for the second time in 2017, to do battle of the fast half mile oval. Also on the race card are the three main NASCAR divisions at Spencer; the Sunoco Modifieds, Super Sixes and Grandpa Dog 4-cylinder Scorpions. Race time starts at 7:15 p.m. sharp.
Spencer Speedway is located just fifteen minutes east of Rochester, NY, along Route 104 in the Town of Williamson. Spencer Speedway is the local “NASCAR Place to Race” for Central New York in 2017. Points earned each week at Spencer are counted as part of the national NASCAR Whelen All-American Point Chase.
