(Alex and Helen Bruce Photos)


Ransomville, NY – Friday, June 29, 2007 – Another stellar night of racing took place last Friday night at Ransomville Speedway. Bright blue skies and a packed house greeted the ASCS Patriot Sprints who made their first of two appearances for 2007. A total of eighty-one cars signed in pitside to do battle in the three scheduled divisions.
Jared Zimbardi of Little Valley, NY took top honors aboard the ASCS Patriot Sprint twenty lap feature main. Zimbardi took control at the drop of the green and maintained the top spot through the entire distance. Zimbardi had to withstand several challenges by Chuck Hebing in the closing laps. Zimbardi took the win over Hebing, Ray Preston, John Schuyler, and Blake Breen. One red flag slowed the pace after Geoff Quakenbush flipped on the front stretch on lap twelve. Quakenbush
was a okay but his racer suffered substantial damage.

 

 

Jipp Ortiz of Ransomville, NY became the seventh different winner aboard the Original Pizza Logs Sportsman division. Ortiz piloted his Original Pizza Logs sponsored #0 by Ed Cain on lap nineteen and maintained the top spot through the final six circuits. Cain and Steve Miller battled for second with Miller taking the position on the final
laps. This was Miller’s best finish of his rookie season. Cain backed up his early feature win with a third place finish last Friday followed by Tommy Flannigan and Steve Schumacher. Many thanks are extended to Ortiz, Miller, and Schumacher who all took part in the 50/50 sell-off at intermission. The trio raised $900 in the sell-off.
 

 

Randy Zimmerman took top honors aboard the first fifteen lap Johnston’s Restaurant Streetstock main event. Zimmerman took the lead away from Sean Letts on lap two and was never seriously challenged after that point. Zimmerman became the eleventh different winner in the full fendered division. Zimmerman took the win followed by Letts, Burek, Close, and Morris.

 


Jaren Israel won his second Johnston’s Restaurant Streetstock main of the season last Friday. Israel took command at the drop of the green and held off persistent challenges by rookie contender Ryan Susice.  Susice came home in second followed by Derrick Borkenhagen, Stewart Kumm, and Dave Jowdy.
