Stateline Speedway Mall Show
Stateline Speedway Ribbon Cutting this Saturday!
Pro Mods take center stage.
Busti, NY (July 27, 2016): The New Stateline Speedway Presented by LiteHouse Auto will formally be welcomed to the Busti, NY community Saturday evening with a special “ribbon-cutting” ceremony featuring the Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan, State Assemblyman Andy Goodell, Town of Busti officials, and police and fire officials. Many tracks have an adversarial relationship with local communities but Stateline fits in well with the local governments, who recognize the positive economic impact the track has on he the surrounding communities.
In on-track action the Rusted Nutz ProMods will have their season special, a 25-lap feature for the track’s newest class of racers. Kelly Frederes leads the season long points chase to become the class inaugural champion by 43 markers over Scott Gurdak. Frederes has two wins, including last Saturday. Gurdak collected a win on June 11. Jason Covey, a three-time winner, is third, 65 points from first. Justin Carlson, a four-time winner is fourth in this very competitive division. With the extra laps and extra cash on the line, the racing Saturday ought to go to the very last lap.
Two-time former Overhead Door of Jamestown Super Late Model champion Dutch Davies picked up a win on June 4th and leads the charge to become a three-time champion. However, John Lobb, a winner July 9th, is only six points back in second with two-time winner, including last Saturday, and former champion Rich Gardner another 66-points back. Other feature winners this season include fourth place David Scott with two wins, Doug Eck, Max Blair, and Dave Hess Jr, all with a single win.
