BRACHMANN, SMITH, POOLE, CHILDROSE, AND STONE VISIT VICTORY LANE AT THE BIG R

Friday, June 6, 2008 – Ransomville, NY – Exactly one hundred cars filled the pit area last Friday night set to entertain the fans whom filled the grandstands. It was finally summer as temperatures reached 90 degrees at 3 pm allowing Ransomville to complete its fifth week of racing action.

Chad Brachmann of Sanborn, NY captured the win aboard the thirty lap Mighty Taco Modified feature. Brachmann piloted his Original Pizza Logs sponsored #3 to the lead on lap one and was never seriously challenged after that point. The front of the pack suffered some major changes on lap one as the cars of Todd Gordon, Pete Bicknell, Rich Vinson, Ricky Richner, and Jeff McGinnis came together in turn two. Richner, Vinson,
and Gordon were done for the night. Brachmann inherited the lead in this maylay and held it the remaining distance. Brachmann took the win over Robbie Krull, Todd Burley, Scott Kerwin, and Tommy Flannigan.
 

Derek Smith of Ransomville, NY took top honors for the first time aboard the Sportsman ranks last Friday night. Smith took the lead at the drop of the green in the twenty-five lap Original Pizza Logs main and held off Mike Bowman and Steve Schumacher for the win. Bowman applied heavy pressure at the mid-way point and Schumacher in the
closing laps to no avail as it was Smith with the preferred outside lane and the win. Schumacher came home in the second position followed by Don Spatorico, James Michael Friesen, and Ricky Newton.
 

Gerald Poole of Newfane, NY captured his first win of the season aboard the Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock division. Poole took the lead at the drop of the green and held off persistent challenges by Randy Zimmerman. Poole became the seventh different winner of 2008. Zimmerman came home second followed by Roger Israel, Jaren Israel, and Alex Morris. The first and only caution flew on lap 13 for Brandon Sherwood
who went off the backstretch coming to rest against the turn three guardrail. Sherwood has been strong as of late but found his efforts side-lined with just two laps remaining.
 

Mike Childrose topped the field aboard the second fifteen lap Ki-Po Chevrolet Streetstock main.  It was a wild one to say the least as the lead position was swapped three times in the closing laps.  When the checkered flew it was Childrose in the lead when it counted the most. Childrose collected his first ever win and became the eighth different winner. Chris Burek, Wayne Close, Pat Dell, and Billy Coleman rounded
out the top five.
 

Jim Stone of Ransomville, NY took top honors aboard the twelve lap Bobcat of Buffalo Firehall Enduro Series feature main. Stone used lapped traffic to his advantage on lap eight and took the lead away from Eric Gunio. Stone captured his first checkered in the class followed by Jamie O’Donnell and Gunio.
