Friday, July 24, 2009 – Ransomville, NY – Despite rain all around, Ransomville Speedway was able to beat the odds and complete the 12^th show of the season. A total of ninety- one cars signed in pitside including 26 Mighty Taco Modifieds as a few outsiders came in to test for the upcoming 25^th Alex Friesen Summer Nationals.

     Todd Burley of Spencerport, NY extended his points leader last Friday night after a win in the thirty lap Mighty Taco Modified feature main. Burley took the lead away from Travis Braun on lap twelve and quickly distanced himself from the remainder of the field. Not only did the win aid Burley in his quest for another championship but Pete Bicknell’s dismal night also played into Burley’s hand.  Burley became a new uncle the previous Sunday as Cheryl Burley Niskes welcomed her daughter Brooke Lee to the racing family.  Travis Braun, Chad Brachmann, Stewart Friesen, and Dave Just rounded out the top five.

     Kenny Washburn of Ransomville, NY, took top honors last Friday night aboard the fifteen lap Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock main. Washburn led all fifteen laps holding off Jaren Israel at the line. Stuart Kumm, Ricky Washburn, and Brian Lonneville rounded out the top five.

     Andrew  Smith became the fifteenth different winner of the season aboard the Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock division. Smith led the entire fifteen circuits in just his fifth outing. Following Smith across the finish line was Charles Harvey, Chris Burek, Gerald Poole, and Billy Coleman.

     Jamie O’Donnell took the lead away from Ryan Stephenson on lap nine of the twelve aboard the Bobcat of Buffalo Firehall Enduro Series. O’Donnell continued his domination of the division with yet another win.  Stephenson, Mark Brown, Chris Lederhouse, and Jim Stone round out the top five.

     The Gerald Poole fans won the Mark Cerrone Memorial SUPERFAN Contest.
