PATRICK EMERLING RUNS TO FERRIS MOWERS RoC ASPHALT
MODIFIED SERIES FUELED BY SUNOCO VICTORY LANE AT OSWEGO
SPEEDWAY IN RICHIE EVANS MEMORIAL '61' |
 The
Ferris Mowers Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Series fueled by
Sunoco made a stop at the legendary Oswego (N.Y.) Speedway this past
Saturday night for the Richie Evans Memorial 61 and when the
checkered flag waved Orchard Park, N.Y.’s, Patrick Emerling stood
tall in victory lane.
“Things just went our way tonight,” explained Emerling following the
victory. “Our teammate Mike Leaty had the car to beat and the way
things worked out he got to the lead and it looked like he might
hold us off. Then he developed a problem and we were able to get by
him for the lead. We have a great team and Jan Leaty gave me a great
setup for tonight. We are going to enjoy it and to honor the best
that ever raced a modified with a win in his race is a great
feeling. We are going to enjoy this one.”
Daryl Lewis, Jr., of Ontario, N.Y., started on the pole and led the
early stages of the event before Mike Leaty of Williamson slipped
into the lead on lap 10. Leaty held the lead until he began to smoke
from the right side of his machine. Internal engine issues would
sideline Leaty during the race. Emerling, who started 6th, picked up
the top spot on lap 32 with Matt Hirschman, of Northampton, Pa., and
the defending Series Champion in tow.
Hirschman made a couple of attempts to overtake Emerling, but it was
to no avail.
Hirschman finished second for the second straight race, followed by
Austin Kochenash (3rd), Bryan Sherwood (4th) and Jimmy Zacharias
(5th).
Patrick Emerling set the fastest time during the group time trials
for the second consecutive event. Due to the condensed scheduled
created by inclement weather which delayed the start of the event by
several hours the qualifying races were cancelled.
The next event for the Race of Champions is Saturday, May 21 at
Lancaster National Speedway in Lancaster, N.Y.
