Fredrickson to strap into Airborne Modified

For immediate release – AS-083011-1

 

SOUTH PLATSBURGH, NY – Speedway Illustrated publisher Karl Fredrickson, who has been racing and writing about it for over two decades, will take a hands-on approach at Airborne Speedway Saturday, September 3 and attempt to qualify a DIRTcar Modified in the Della Auto Group Mike Watts Memorial 50.

 

Fredrickson will drive a car prepared by Wes Moody, car owner of Patrick Dupree’s Saranac Country Store No. 24.

 

When reviving Speedway Illustrated this year after the national magazine temporarily suspended publication, Fredrickson said, “We think people who love racing, especially those who are invested in it, will love this magazine as much as we do. It will be a real racer’s magazine. It’s for people who pour their heart and soul into building a race car, and then think nothing of taking their pride and joy – and the most expensive investment they’ve got besides their house – and trying to squeeze it between moving steel and immovable concrete because they can’t stand the thought of finishing fourth when they might’ve finished third.”

 

The Mike Watts Memorial 50-lap event is the final Ernie’s Discount Tools Modified point race of the season. Martin Roy of Napierville, QC, enjoys a 32-point advantage over his closest rival, George Foley of Saranac Lake.


The J&S Steel Sportsman will be joined by several race teams from Autodrome St-Eustache on Saturday’s card for the Can-Am 50. The Versatile Trailer Sales Renegades, NAPA Mini Modifieds and Busch Bombers will also be in action.


Post time is 6 p.m. Grandstands open at 4 p.m. Admission is adults/$15, kids 12 and under free.
