SUSICE, BARNEY, POOLE, AND ISRAEL WIN AT RANSOMVILLE SPEEDWAY

Ransomville, NY – Friday, June 19, 2009 – Ransomville Speedway welcomed back the Empire Super Sprints last Friday night after a nine year absence. A total of twenty-two winged wonders in addition to a full program of Original Pizza Logs Sportsman and Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstocks thrilled the packed grandstands on Labatts and Mighty Taco night.

Jason Barney topped the field aboard the twenty-five lap Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints main event. Barney took the lead at the drop of the green and held off persistent challenges from Chuck Hebing through the first half of the feature. While Barney went on for the big win, Hebing’s night didn’t fair so well as contact with the turn three guardrail sent the Cobra up and over – flipping several times before coming to rest outside of turn three. Michael Parent and Jared Zimbardi rounded out the top three.

Ryan Susice of Ransomville, NY won his fourth of the season aboard the Original Pizza Logs Sportsman division. Susice took just nine laps to go from 12^th to 1^st aboard his #38k Investors Services sponsored machine. Susice took the win over Don Spatorico, Jesse Cotriss, Sandy Pembleton, and Derek Smith.

Gerald Poole became the first repeat winner aboard the Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock division in 2009. Poole took the lead at the drop of the green and maintained it through the entire fifteen laps-holding off persistent challenges from Pat Dell in the process. Dell finished in second followed by Scott Krull, Mike Greenawalt, and Ricky Washburn.

Jaren Israel of Wilson, NY took top honors aboard the second fifteen lap Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock main. Israel took the lead away from Charles Harvey on lap eight and quickly pulled away from the field. Israel took his second win of the 2009 season. Billy Coleman, Chris Burek, Mike Childrose, and Derrick Borkenhagen rounded out the top five.
