Trackside Tidbits by Debi Domby

The A division Street Stock ran their annual 100-lap feature. Tadek Stadniczuk won his second feature of the year. “I can’t believe I won! I heard every single noise you can imagine those last 10 laps. It is great to get such a huge win. A big thank you to our sponsors; Monroe County Breast Center, Budget Tire, Health Services Connection, Dr. David Clark & Bedford Dental, Speedway Tire & Auto and Speedway Golf Carts,” said the driver of the #20.

Dan Ford Jr. was again in Danny Slater’s #3. He finished second. “Congratulation to Tadek and the DTS racing team on their win. It’s a hot night tonight. I want to thank Danny Slater for letting me run his car again. I caught the lapped cars at the wrong time,” said the driver of the #3. And good news, Dan will have his late model back running in a couple weeks for the Stan Yee Memorial race.

Rich Frantz finished third after starting in 12th. “I could run with Tadek mid race, the car was good mid-race but I decided to settle back in third rather than wreck,” said the driver of the - Playoffs Sports Bar & Grill, Eagle Graphics & Design, Roses Head & Engine, and Quality Clutches #10.

Last week’s winner Frank Jiovanni finished fourth, “Once the tires came up the car ran better. Car’s overheating a bit. I want to congratulate Tadek and thank my sponsors.”

Rob Moore finished fifth after experiencing problems with his car last week and having to borrow his brother Tim’s car to compete in. “I just wanted to thank my sponsors Beyond Reality Tattoos for coming through this week (and all year) with tires for the big race, North American Iron and Metal, Dicarlo Martial Arts Acadamy, Jerry's Ace Hardware, Dow Engines and most of all my wife and kids for all there support through this up and down season. This was my best finish of the season so far wasn't too bad with a carburetor miss for 100 laps. Thanks to my dad for busting his hump with me on this car last week ... had a gear and transmission go. And thanks to my brother, Tim, for lending me his car last week to keep my points ... that was a privilege to drive his car. I have a great family and couldn’t (or wouldn't want to) do all this without all their support.”

Grant Hedges:”We should be ok. It smoked the radiator and bent the rear bumper bar up pretty nasty. Nothing we can’t turn around. Pretty disappointing.”

Troy Brehmer and Rick Bennett ran side by side for nearly the entire 30-lap B division feature. The duo raced each other cleanly. Brehmer won the event, his first B division feature victory. It was his second career feature win, his other victory was on Aug. 12, 2006, in the C-main. Oddly enough the win happened during that year’s installation of the 100-lap Street Stock feature night. “I’m still shaking. That was fun! We ran door to door. I want to thank the 01 (Don Roberts, who Bennett and Brehmer were coming up to lap) ... I don’t know if I would’ve pulled the win out if we didn’t come up to lap him,” said the driver of the unsponsored #42.

Bennett had fun too. “I love racing with this guy (Troy). If anyone had to beat me, I’m glad it was him. And it’s a good points night for me, the guy that was leading isn’t here today, so I gained a lot of points tonight,” said the driver of the PASI and E & F Auto #11.

Greg Studt won the Figure 8 feature. “Had to work hard for this one. Thanks to Gary (Cronenwett) for driving a very clean race. I could see and hear him back there. Thanks to the fans for their support,” said the #33.
