Ransomville, NY – Friday, June 15th, 2007 – A packed grandstand enjoyed a night full of action last Friday night at the big R. A full card was on tap with a special 50 lap Johnston’s Restaurant Streetstock main taking center stage. When the final checkered flew-two new winners and a crafty veteran graced victory lane.
Robbie Krull of Lockport, NY took top honors aboard the thirty lap Mighty Taco Modified main last Friday night. Krull took the lead away from Sam Crogan in the early going and simply dominated the remainder of the event leading by a full straight away over the second place runner at one point. Krull became the fifth different winner in six weeks aboard the head-lining division. Brachmann came home in second
followed by Burley, Vinson, and McGinnis.

Crogan led the early going in what was an uneventful feature main.  The veteran field ran clean and green through the entire event with only one caution slowing the pace. Krull had his #123 dialed in as he blistered the field. Lapped traffic allowed Brachmann and Burley to reel in the Lockport native but Krull was too strong and collected the
big win.

The fifty lap Johnston’s Restaurant Streetstock main was a survival of the fittest as several cautions plagued the event. When the dust cleared-rookie contender Brian Lonneville sat in victory lane. Lonneville ran a very smart race keeping his nose clean and was simply in the right place at the right time as he inherited the lead when
Jaren Israel lost the handle in turn four suffering a flat tire while leading. Lonneville was able to maintain the point position through the final circuits and collect a very popular win. Veteran Kenny Washburn came home in second followed by Wayne Close, Kirk Tuttle and Dave Conant.
Close led the field through lap twenty-four prior to Jaren Israel taking over the top spot. Israel looked to have victory in hand but disaster struck for the champion contender as he spun in turn four on lap thirty-five. Lonneville inherited the top spot and was able to maintain the point position through the final circuits.

Steve Schumacher of Lockport, NY became the sixth different winner aboard the Original Pizza Logs Sportsman division. Schumacher took the lead from Derek Smith aboard his American Harley Davidson sponsored machine on lap eight and quickly pulled away from the remainder of the field. Schumacher was able to maintain the top spot through the twenty- ive lap mark and collect the big win. Points leader Don Spatorico advanced to second but ran out of time aboard his #5 machine. Rookie
Steve Miller came home in third followed by Scott Just and Tommy Flannigan.
