PATRICK EMERLING GOES BACK-TO-BACK IN FERRIS MOWERS RACE
OF CHAMPIONS FUELED BY SUNOCO COMPETITION WITH A WIN IN THE
QUEEN CITY CLASH "75" AT LANCASTER NATIONAL SPEEDWAY |
 The
Ferris Mowers Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Series fueled by
Sunoco made stop one of four at the Lancaster National Speedway this
past Saturday night and when the dust settled Orchard Park, N.Y.’s,
Patrick Emerling, held off a hard charging Chuck Hossfeld to visit
victory lane for the second consecutive race.
“My team gave me a great car to drive tonight,” explained Emerling.
“Chuck (Hossfeld) is so good here, he’s tough to beat and has so
many laps here. To be beating guys like him is an awesome feeling.
The car handled well all night and the track was really good. It’s a
dream come true to be winning like this. We’re going to enjoy this
tonight and get ready for next week.”
Emerling also took over the early season point lead. He currently
leads Jimmy Zacharias by 25 points.
“It’s never too early to be thinking about the points,” smiled
Emerling. “But, if you run well, the points will take care of
themselves.”
Hossfeld, who started 12th after the redraw, charged to the front of
the field and finished a strong second.
“The redraw set us back,” began Hossfeld. “But, I’ve got to give it
to Patrick and his team, those guys are performing well right now
and they’ve done a heck of a job. My team did an excellent job as
well, we finished second but we put on a show that I think the fans
enjoyed because it was just great racing.”
John Wilber led the field to the green flag from the pole position
before Brian Defebo slipped by on lap 16. Defebo led until Emerling
flexed his muscle taking the lead from Defebo and holding it until
the conclusion of the 75-lap race.
Jimmy Zacharias finished third, with Tyler Rypkema fourth and Mike
Leaty rounded out the top-five.
Chuck Hossfeld set a new track record in the Timed Hot Lap session
to establish the heat race line up with a time of 16.651 (108.10
mph).
The next event for the Race of Champions is Saturday, May 28 at
Chemung Speedrome in Chemung, N.Y.
