BUREK, WASHBURN, AND WAGNER CAPTURE WINS AT RANSOMVILLE SPEEDWAY
Ransomville, NY – A total of one hundred cars
signed in pitside last Friday night as mother nature
shined on the big R for the eleventh straight week.
Another packed grandstands were treated to great
side by side racing action via the four weekly
divisions.
Rich Vinson of Sanborn, NY captured his first
win of the season aboard the Mighty Taco Modified
thirty lap main event. Vinson took the lead at the
drop of the green and held Jeff McGinnis at bay in
the closing laps for the win. Vinson led all thirty
laps aboard his sharp looking #93. McGinnis, Ricky
Richner, Tommy Flannigan, and Chad Brachmann rounded
out the top five. Points leader Todd Burley came
home in sixth while Bobby Davidson and Pete Bicknell
rounded out the top five. Nick Joy made his first
start of the 2009 season.

first ever Sportsman main event aboard the
twenty-five lap Original Pizza Logs feature last
Friday night. Smith took the lead at the drop of the
green and was never seriously challenged after that
point. Smith thanked Pete Bicknell in victory lane.
Don Spatorico, Steve Schumacher, Ryan Susice, and
Derek Smith rounded out the top five.
The Streetstock class was thirty-three strong
last Friday night warranting twin fifteen lap main
events. In the first Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock
feature it was Chris Burek taking the win. It was
Bureks first win since 2007 – odd considering he is
also the defending champion. Burek became the
fourteenth different winner in the full fendered
division. Webb Nashwinter, Dave Conant, Jon Richael,
and Billy Coleman rounded out the top five.
Ricky Washburn of Ransomville, NY took top
honors for the second time in 2009 aboard the Ki-Po
Chevrolet Streetstock division. After suffering some
dismal finishes as of late, Washburn found himself
with a front row starting position. That was all
that was needed as Washburn jumped out to the early
lead and was never seriously challenged. Donald
Rappleyea, Kenny Washburn, Jaren Israel, and Brandon
Sherwood rounded out the top five.
