Ransomville, NY – Friday, June 27, 2008 – It was week number eight at Ransomville Speedway and another hot night as temperatures neared 90 by mid afternoon. A total of eighty-five cars filled the pit area and another great crowd packed the grandstands.

Jipp Ortiz of Ransomville, NY went from the outhouse to the penthouse in one weeks time. After flipping hard the week prior, Ortiz brought home the win last Friday aboard the Original Pizza Logs main event. Ortiz took the lead away from James Henry on lap thirteen and held it the remaining twelve laps. Ortiz enjoyed his second win of the season aboard his Original Pizza Logs sponsored #0. Henry, Don Spatorico, Justin Sharp, and James Friesen rounded out the top five

The Cobra Chuck Hebing of Ontario, NY took top honors aboard the twenty-five lap ASCS Patriot Sprint feature main. Hebing took the lead away from Jared Zimbardi on lap nineteen and maintained the top spot through the remaining distance.

Kreitter led the early going followed by Zimbardi and Hebring. Zimbardi took the lead on lap five with Hebing in tow. Hebing used the highside on lap nineteen to take the top spot from Zimbardi in turn two. Hebing led the remaining laps to the win followed by Zimbardi, Tim Kelly, Blake Breen, and Bobby Breen. Several cautions slowed the pace of the twenty-five lap main including one red for hometown hero Curt Sherwood who took a wild ride off turn four on lap four. Sherwood ended up in the frontstretch moat. Curt was a-okay but the night was over for his racer.
