CARL LABONTE VICTORIOUS IN SPEEDSTR ALL-STAR NATIONAL AT CAYUGA COUNTY..

 

 

Myerstown PA, July 17th, 2010:  Saturday evening would feature the second night of All-Star Weekend at the Cayuga County Fair Speedway and RevStar Co-Owner Carl Labonte was geared up for competition.

 

Doug Sherwood (Piscataway, NJ) who was coming off a strong runner up finish in Friday evenings preliminary All Star event continued his strong presence by winning dash #1 which would give him the pole position for the feature event with Carl Labonte (Drummondville, Qc, Canada) lining up outside front row. Labonte wasted no time getting to the lead as Sherwood would have to fight off the challenges of  Mike Mahaney a Cayuga County Modified  regular and Yannick Poirier (Beloeil, Qc, Canada). Meanwhile National and Regional point leader Mario Page (Hillsborough, NJ) was picking off STR's high and low as he was clawing his way to the front on the black slick surface.

 

By the midway point of the race Labonte was continuing to make flawless laps along the inside jersey barrier as Page had raced his way to third with Sherwood just in front. The duo would battle lap after lap. Sherwood working the bottom and Page looking for grip up top. While a great battle for the top five was brewing between Mahaney, Poirier, Chris Stockham (Cicero, NY) in the Valvoline #3, Richie Tobias (Hershey, PA), and  Kyle Hieber (Langhorne, PA) .

 

With the laps winding down Page went to the high side of Sherwood in turn one, but Sherwood would slide up the track and close the door as they went down into three, Page again went high and this time would diamond off Sherwood and attacked the bottom going into one. As Page took the preferred line of  Sherwood, the two would make contact causing the Kiwi Farms 33 to collect the previous nights winner Richie Tobias Jr. (Hershey, PA). The final restart would see the #24 of Labonte hold off the challenges of Page and Mahaney with Poirier and Stockham rounding out the top five.
