Thorold, Ontario (July 2) Prior to when Merrittville Speedway’s Lucas Oil Weekly Racing Series Drivers pay tribute to their fans with a rain-delayed Autograph Night Saturday July 4th – the Thorold facility and Modern Corporation Open Wheel Lite Driver Adam Leslie will pay tribute to Canada’s fallen soldiers.
“When we saw Adam’s tribute that took over his complete Lucas Oil # 15,” remembered (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell, “we were quite proud of his gesture.”
Leslie’s car lists the Canadian soldiers that have been killed in action – most notably local heroes – Warrant Officer Dennis Brown and Corporal Tyler Crooks.
Leslie was coached hockey by Crooks when younger and upon his death while serving his country in Afghanistan came up with the design to honor him and his fellow fallen heroes.
“We first saw the car on Adam’s blog Speed Talk,” adds Bicknell, “and he raced it back on May 2nd … we knew it was special and were able to put together a tribute at the track in honor of Canadian troops … and we can’t forget our American race fans and teams and the sacrifices made by US Service men and women as well.”
Just before the Autograph Session where all of Merrittville’s Drivers bring their cars to the front stretch to meet their fans – Leslie will come out on his own and will be joined by reservists from the Lincoln & Welland Regiment as well as the Brown and Crooks Families.
The RK Shaver Chartered Accountant Night will start at 7:00 PM with the gates opening at 5:30.

BOBBY VARIN TAKES BORROWED CAR TO “THUNDER” VICTORY AT UTICA-ROME SPEEDWAY
VERNON, NY- Bobby Varin has dominated the Fonda Speedway in 2009 and on Sunday night at the Utica-Rome Speedway he showed that brilliance as he came from the 18th starting position to win the first event of the “Thunder on the Thruway” series between Fonda and Utica-Rome.
Varin won the 50-lap $5,000 to win event presented by Park’s Trucking and Paving and Luther’s Excavating in a car borrowed from his son after his new car blew a water pump gasket in hot laps.
“I got to thanks to my son because he gave me his car to run tonight,” stated Varin, of Sharon Springs, N.Y., after the win. “Dan’s (Varin) is the best kid in the world I couldn’t as k for a better son. He lets me drive his race car. What more could you ask for?”
Michael Storms and Stewart Friesen led the 24 car to the green flag but it was Pat Ward gaining the lead from his third starting position.
Ward lost the lead momentarily on lap two when Jeff Trombley passed him on the inside of turn two. Trombley led until turn three when he got into a marker tire on the bottom of turn three to break the front end. Ward made slight contact with him but he was able to continue.
Action got back underway with Ward the race leader with Stewart Friesen and Todd Burley running right behind him.
Ward lead at the halfway point with Varin now inside the top five with his borrowed Bicknell mount. He was slowing closing in on the top four.
Varin moved into the runner-up position when he got by Friesen on the 23rd circuit and began to track down Ward.
Five laps later on lap 28, Friesen brought out the caution when he lost the drive line on his No.1 sending him to the pits on the hook and taking away the three second advantage that Ward had held prior to the caution.
On the restart Ward led with Varin running in tow. The two battled with Ward protecting the bottom and Varin ultimately forced to go the outside.
From lap 33 on Varin challenged Ward on the high-side and he finally took the lead outside of turns one and two five laps later.
“In the feature Pat (Ward) doesn’t make any mistakes,” stated Varin. “You’ve been watching him long enough and these fans have been watching him long enough to know that he doesn’t mess up. I knew I wasn’t going to get him on the bottom so I had to go to the top.”
Upon taking the race lead, Varin immediately moved back to the inside lane to protect the top position.
At the line it was Varin taking the win, with Ward settling for a second place finish in his Bicknell after battling an ill handling race car because of the contact with Trombley early in the feature.
“Bobby (Varin) had her hooked up pretty good,” stated Ward after the event. “(Jeff) Trombley got the tire and spun in front of me. I got into him and bent all the radius rods in the front. I don’t think it matter Bobby (Varin) was rotating through the turns better than us.”
Ronnie Johnson came from the tenth staring position with his Teo Pro car to finish in third. He was gaining on the top two near the end of the race.
“At the end of the race this car seems to come on,” said Johnson. “Who knows, I don’t know if we had anything for Bobby (Varin) but I’m happy with a third place finish.”
Mitch Gibbs, of North Norwich finished in fourth while Todd Burley, of Spencerport, N.Y., finished in fifth.
The Sportsman Best of Three series event only went 14 laps due to Mother Nature with Jason Rood claiming the win over Matt Janczuk and Mark Kislowski.
At the start, Rood and Janczuk raced together from their front row starting positions into turn one. Janczuk gained the advantage over Rood.
Those two were battling for the top spot when Kislowski tucked to the inside turns one and two to take the lead on lap six.
His lead was short lived as Rood and Janczuk made a daring three wide pass for the lead with Rood gaining the advantage on lap nine.
Those two swapped the lead numerous times in the next five laps with Rood earning the checkered flag in the rain shortened event.
Janczuk, of Sherrill, N.Y., finished in second with Steve Way getting third. Kislowski held on to finish in fourth while Roger West completed the top five.
Next week’s action will see the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints in their second appearance of the season being presented by Gates-Cole Associates. Modifieds, Sportsman, Pro Stocks and Pure Stocks join the card along with a huge fireworks display. Racing gets underway at 5pm. For more information visit our website at www.uticaromespeedway.com.

RAIN REMAINS SUPREME FRIDAY AT BIG DIAMOND RACEWAY, GEORGIE STEVENSON MEMORIAL SET FOR JULY 3...By GARY LILECK
Forestville, PA - June 26, 2009 - Mother Nature has been plain nasty to Big Diamond Raceway over the past few weeks. A pair of storms swept through the facility on Friday evening. Track workers spent a few hours on the speedway, with hopes of turning the track surface back to it's normal condition. Unfortunately, after a hard fought effort, track officials were left with the tough decision to cancel due to the extensive rainfall on the speedway.
Friday's devious hinderance from Mother Nature caused the fourth Friday cancellation out of the previous five scheduled events. Big Diamond management would like to thank each and every fan, driver, and team for hanging out during Friday's rain delay. A good crowd had assembled and remained throughout the evening. Rain checks will be honored this week at face value ($12) towards a ticket for the Georgie Stevenson Memorial Race.
Several drivers were anxious to test the speedway on Friday night, including young second generation racer Kyle Follweiler. Kyle was prepared to debut a freshly minted Teo Chassis #42. Likewise, the Pioneer Pole Buildings #8 of Billy Pauch Jr. was set with a brand new paint scheme. In the Roadrunner division, Ed Bartlett, who made his return to racing a few weeks ago, had a brand new #22E Nova bodied car prepared, and Jeff Werner was making his first RR start of '09 in the #55.
Ken's Tire (Cressona, Pottsville, Frackville) sponsored Friday night's show, which also included a special appearance from the famed Bigfoot Monster Truck. Youngsters had the opportunity to receive autograped cards of the famous truck. Shawn Fitzpatrick, driver of the #T102 Modified, had his car on display and was also busy signing autographs during the rain delay. Billy Pauch Jr., Colt Harris, Joe Hendricks, and Doug Hendricks also showcased their cars and met with the fans on the grandstand side.
Attention will now focus on Friday July 3. The 30th Annual Georgie Stevenson Memorial (sponsored this season by Philly Pretzel Factory) is set to take place. The 358 Modified main event will go a distance of 40-laps and pays $4000 to win. The Sportsman class competes in an extra distance 25-lap feature, awarding the $800 first place check. The Wooden Keg Roadrunners battle in a 20-lap main event paying $250 to win.
Georgie Stevenson was a young and avid Big Diamond Raceway fan, who supported the track along with his family every week. Georgie battled cancer and sadly passed away at the age of 12. Georgie worked hard to raise money for cancer research and at the same time loved the sport of auto racing. In 1980, Big Diamond Raceway presented the first GSM race, a tradition which continues on Friday July 3.
The Stevenson family continues to work hard in assisting sick and terminally ill children. The collection taken at this event will go to the Georgie Stevenson Memorial Fund.
Craig Von Dohren (Boyertown) is the leading all-time active win leader in 358 Modified GSM activity. Von Dohren is a six-time winner of the event. Duane Howard (Oley) is the defending Modified race winner along with Earl Paules of Palmerton (Sportsman) and Tom Hablett of Schuylkill Haven (Roadrunners).
Gates open at 5:00PM with racing slated for a 7:45PM start. Adult General Admission to the stands is $18. Students/Seniors/Military ticket price is $16, Children 12 and under are admitted Free. For more information on the speedway, visit the official website located atwww.bigdiamondraceway.com
