Two Sportsman features top Airborne schedule

For immediate release – AS-071511-1

 

South Plattsburgh, NY – Drivers get two chances to gain ground on J&S Steel Sportsman point leader Robin Wood of Plattsburgh at Airborne Speedway Saturday. The first event on the UniFirst Night race card will be a 25-lap feature, which was rained out last month.

 

The defending Sportsman champion reeled off four straight wins to start the season and leads his closest pursuer, Jamy Begor of Mooers, by 38 points.

 

Last week’s upset winner in the Ernie’s Discount Tools Modified feature, Mike Wells of West Chazy, returns to take on the division leaders – Patrick Dupree, Martin Roy, George Foley, Andy Heywood and Vince Quenneville.

 

It’s Driver Autograph Night at the speedway. Teams in all divisions will bring their cars onto the track for a meet and greet session beginning at 5 p.m.

 

The Verizon Wireless Team Penske No.12 IndyCar will be on display and fans can test their skills on their racing simulator.
