CANANDAIGUA, NY- It was a fight to the bitter end before “The Doctor” Danny Johnson completed the operation and won the action-packed 35 lap DIRTcar big block Modified feature besting Steve Paine by just 0.536 seconds last night at Canandaigua Speedway. This was Johnson’s first win in three years at the “Land of Legends” and by no means did it come easy.  The four-time track champion took the lead on lap 13 with Steve Paine in tow, but during Paine’s multiple failed attempts to get by Johnson he would move back to a three car lead.  After a lap 32 caution stacking up the field for a three lap shootout to decide the winner, Paine moved up beside Johnson on the inside lane as the banged nerf bars in turn 2 and all the way down the backstretch.  Johnson was able to make some room as the pair hit again at the start finish line on lap 33 to keep a safe distance and take the checkered flag. Following the race, Paine showed his displeasure with Johnson’s driving style and hit the Rochester Americans/Honeoye Auto Parts sponsored car from the rear as they moved down the backstretch, causing a stir in the packed grandstands.  Victory Lane was “electric” as fans made their way to the fence only to witness “The Doctor” thanking his sponsors and stating, “I guess someone had to teach him (Paine) a lesson” setting up a “sequel” next Saturday for Championship night.  Charlie Donk, Justin Haers and Chad Homan rounded out the top 5.
The DIRTcar Sportsman put on another great show for the fans as Kevin Ridley took the victory over second place Dan Wiesner.  Rob Bussey was third while Greg Cool and Loren Lincoln rounded of the top five.
Chris Fisher took home the checkered flag in the DIRTcar Stock Car feature putting him one step closer to taking the points lead from Frank Burnell Jr. Burnell struggled most of the night causing two caution flags, finally finding  a home in fifth position at the conclusion of the 20-lap dash.  Andy Fisk led eight of the twenty laps finishing a half of car length behind Fisher. Nate Peckham finished third and John Zimmerman fourth.
Current point leader Alex Morris took another win in the Pure Stock feature and solidified his strangle-hold on the 2010 track championship at the ‘Land of Legends’.  Andrew Smith second and rounding out the top five was Ross Lurcock, Roger Bush and George LaVare Jr.
The final showdown of the season will take place next Saturday as Canandaigua Speedway will play host to the first night of the tri-track Labor Day weekend race fest deemed Championship Weekend. The DIRTcar Modifieds, Sportsman, Stock Cars and Pure Stocks will all be featured during the double points Championship night.  Fans will be treated to a 50-lap, $3,000-to-win Modified feature, the sequel to the battle between “The Doctor” Danny Johnson and “The Hurricane” Steve Paine, as well as the ever popular 30-lap Parts Plus DIRTcar Stock Car Tri-Track Series by Wix Filters feature.  “The DIRTcar Stock cars continue to put the best racing week in and week out” says General Manger Cory Reed. Coming off a season high 16 competitors two weeks ago, the track will offer “Home Track” rules. Stock cars are encouraged to bring their home track rule book to Canandaigua next Saturday where they will be legal. Drivers will draw for their starting positions in the heats with the top finishers in each heat drawing for their 30-lap, $300-to-win starting position. “I expect this event to be one of our biggest of the 2010 season for the class”, continues Reed.
Racing will continue into Sunday night for the Super DIRTcar Series drivers in the Labor Day 100 at Cayuga County Fair Speedway including the Sportsman, Stock Cars and Battlekarz as they partake in double point championship night.  This will be a huge opportunity to see the series best in Brett Hearn, Billy Decker and Ryan Phelps while you wait to see if Jimmy Phelps can take over Matt Sheppard for the track championship.
The final night of Labor Day weekend action takes place Monday at Rolling Wheels Raceway. Fans will be given the opportunity to save $2 off their general admission ticket when they bring a ticket stub from any local track.  Racing action will feature the 60-lap $4,000-to-win Big Block Modifieds plus the DIRTcar Sportsman and Stock Cars in the Robert N. Petrocci Memorial event.

CANANDAIGUA, NY- As the 2010 racing season is winding down, the racing excitement was in full force at Canandaigua Speedway Saturday. The night began when all Fire and Rescue personnel were honored Saturday night with free admission. “It’s our way of thanking those who risk their lives every day,” says DIRTcar Northeast General Manager Corry Reed.
Excitement took to the track as the BRP Late Models kicked off the night with their third and final appearance at the ‘Land of Legends’ during their BRP CanAm Black Rock/Canandaigua Late Model Challenge.  Jim Johnson took his first checkered flag of the season after a 20 lap battle.  Johnson battled with rookie Adam DePuy for 15 of those laps until a flat rear tire caused DePuy to fall to the back.  Jeff Cheseboro finished the battle with Johnson taking second. Brian Kotaoski took third with Wayne Robertson and John Rivers rounding out your top five.
Matt Sheppard made a triumphant return to Canandaigua Speedway with an exciting victory in the 35 lap DIRTcar big block Modified feature. Sheppard and Danny Johnson put on a great show in the last half of the event. On lap 32 and a high amount of lapped traffic, Sheppard got by Johnson, who had led since lap 13 and went on to win by 1.679 second better than Johnson at the finish line. Third was Steve Paine followed by Charlie Donk in fourth and Justin Haers in fifth. A great field of 25 DIRTcar big block Modifieds signed in at the pit gate.
Justin Henderson was fast on the half mile Canandaigua Speedway half-mile racing surface, winning the 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature. Henderson had a battle to the finish with second place finisher Greg Cool. Paul Guererri took third with Dan Wiesner fourth and Kane Bristol third.
Stock Cars were added to Saturday night’s racing program after being left off the original schedule. “The Stock Car class has consistently been the best racing on the track week in and week out at The Land of Legends and we have been very pleased with the growth of the class in recent weeks”, said Cory Reed, Track G.M.  “I can’t see leaving them at home for a week coming off their two best weeks of the season.” The Stock Cars proved once again to be the best racing on the track as Mike Rasbeck won for his second time of the season in the 20 lap Stock Car feature. Rasbeck had the pole position, giving up the lead to Andy Fisk until lap 8 when he took it back and never got rid of it.  Rasbeck finished two car lengths ahead of Frank Burnell Jr at the finish. Third was John Zimmerman with Nate Peckham fourth and Mike Welch fifth.
Brian Lyon won the Pure Stock feature with Alex Morris taking second. Rounding out the top five were Andy Smith, George LaVare Jr. and Ross Lurcock.

CANANDAIGUA, NY- Racing excitement continued Saturday night at Canandaigua Speedway. Saturday was Law Enforcement recognition night at the Speedway with all law enforcement personnel admitted free with proper id.  This special was one more way Canandaigua Speedway is able to say thank you to the local men and women who serve and protect the community.
Once again, the track maintenance crew gave the race competitors a great track surface. Two and three wide racing in all four divisions had the fans on their feet cheering their favorite driver. In addition to that, blue skies greeting both drivers and race fans. It was a win-win for everyone. 
As the racing action took to the track Rob Bellinger not only won his first career Canandaigua Speedway DIRTcar big block 35 lap Modified feature last Saturday night, he also had to hold off the current points leader Steve Paine at the finish line. Bellinger led for much of the feature while Paine had to move through the pack. On lap 29, the yellow came out putting Paine on Bellinger’s rear bumper.  Bellinger, however, got a good jump on the restart and held on for the victory. With Paine holding on for second, previous week winner Justin Haers was third. Fourth was Vince Vitale while Derrick Podsiadlo was fifth.
Steve Gray was fast on the half mile Canandaigua Speedway half-mile racing surface, winning the 25 lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature. Gray was almost four seconds faster when he cross the finish line ahead of second place finisher Daryl Hilkert. Third was Karl Comfort followed by Paul Guererri and Dan Wiesner.
Mike Welch won for the third time in 2010 at Canandaigua Speedway in the 25 lap DIRTcar Stock Car feature. Welch went from third to first on lap 18 and finished two cars lengths ahead of Chris Fisher at the finish. Third was Nate Peckham with Mike Rasbeck fourth and Billy Coleman fifth in his first 2010 Canandaigua Speedway action.
Alex Morris won his sixth feature of the 2010 season at Canandaigua Speedway in the 15 lap Pure Stock/Factory Stock feature. Morris dedicated the win to his mother, who passed away earlier in the week. Second was Roger Bush followed by George LaVare Jr in third. Fourth was Ted Sweeney while Bryan Lyons.
LAND OF LEGENDS NOTES: Steve Paine(Modifieds); Steve Gray (Sportsman); Chris Fisher (Stock Cars) and Alex Morris (Pure Stocks/Factory Stocks) left the Canandaigua Speedway last Saturday night with the points lead in each of their respective divisions…The Stock Cars have seen a rise in the car counts in the past two weeks with 14 drivers checking into the pit area on Saturday…Just three weeks left in the regular season for the Land of Legends.
Next Saturday, August 21, is Fire and Rescue Recognition Night.  All Fire and Rescuse personnel are admitted FREE with proper ID to watch the DIRTcar Modified, Sportsman, BRP Late Models, Stock Cars and Pure Stocks. “Home Track Rules” Stock Cars have been added to the August 21 racing program after being left off the original schedule. “The Stock Car class has consistently been the best racing on the track week in and week out at The Land of Legends and we have been very pleased with the growth of the class in recent weeks”, said Cory Reed, Track G.M.  “I can’t see leaving them at home for a week coming off their two best weeks of the season.”
However, the format will be bit different for the Stock Car class this week. The race will be a draw for heat race starting spot. A redraw of top finishers in each heat will then juggle the feature line-up. Home track rules will also apply allowing drivers from other tracks to participate as they run weekly elsewhere.  It will not be a full points race, however, in a unique twist, a driver will be allowed to use the race for points toward the Canandaigua Speedway points championship if they fare well. Drivers will be able to use their finish on August 21 to take the place of a worse finish another other time during the year. Thus, if a driver had a DNF earlier in the year, then won on August 21, the win would take the place of the DNF. If the driver does not fare better on August 21 than any other finish, the finish will not add points to their season total.
Adult admission is $12, Senior Citizens $10, Student 18-10 and Active Military $5, Children 9 and under FREE.

CANANDAIGUA, NY-It was another beautiful night at the Canandaigua Speedway as beautiful weather greeted a good field of race cars and a great crowd last Saturday evening. The BRP 360 Late Model Black Rock/Canandaigua Challenge ran its second of the last three scheduled 2010 events at Canandaigua Speedway. For the second week in a row, race officials didn’t have to fight Mother Nature in order to get its race program completed as all racing action was concluded in less than three hours. Bass Pro Shops of Auburn and race followers of DIRTcar Sportsman driver Todd Henderson watched from the VIP Towers as race sponsors while Bass Pro representative Shane Wilkinson threw the green flag to start the Sportsman feature.
Probably the big story of the night was the dominance of veteran DIRTcar big block Modified star Steve Paine. The Waterloo, NY resident won his third straight main event and fifth of the 2010 season. Paine took the lead on lap 14 from early leader Tim Currier and maintained a safe lead through the remainder of the race. Currier, who won his first DIRTcar big block Modified feature at Canandaigua in June, looked impressive as he held on for second place. Third was Derrick Podsiadlo followed by Charlie Donk and Vic Coffey.
Stock Car driver Chris Fisher took a well deserved trip to victory lane Saturday night at Canandaigua Speedway after a grueling 20 lap battle. Fisher ran the majority of the race with a half track lead until a yellow flag was dropped with two laps to go. During the green-white checkered Fisher had a run in on the last lap with current Stock Car point leader Bubba Burnell. Fisher was able to hold on as Bubba spun out on his back bumper, ending Bubba’s night. Andy Fisk and Mike Rasbeck contributed in the battle as they ran side-by-side for a second and third place finish. Jason Whipple and Mike Welch finished out your top five.
The Dart Dirt BRP Late Models made their return to the Land of Legends for another round of the Black Rock/Canandaigua Challenge Series. Jeff Chesbro took the checkered flag to make him one step closer to winning an all expense paid trip to Hawaii. Adam DePuy gave Chesboro some pressure as he finished second. Brian Kotarski, Dick Park Jr. and Jon Rivers round out your top five.
After a nine year hiatus Karl Comfort found himself back in a familiar place as he rolled into victory lane. Even with a nine year vacation from racing Comfort hasn’t missed a beat as he dominated the track Saturday night. Steve Gray, Rob Bussey, Chris Mangarelli and Tom Keyes claim the top five positions.
LAND OF LEGENDS NOTES: Vic Coffey, a two time Rite Aid 200 DIRTcar big block Modified winner, has been at Canandaigua Speedway for the past two weeks and ran to a fifth place finish last Saturday. Coffey had been committed to his World of Outlaws Late Model in past years but now seems to be staying closer to home these days…Canandaigua Speedway will be closed this Saturday, July 17th as the Cayuga County Fair Speedway will be hosting the second annual All-Star Weekend. The track will reopen for racing on Saturday, July 24th with a full card of racing.
