Robert Delormier Conquers DirtCar Sportsman Series Field at Cornwall
By: Tim Baltz In the eleven previous tour races held at the Cornwall Motor Speedway, the DirtCar Sportsman Series has produced a total of eight different winners in track history. With 2018 Martin Pelletier on to the 358 Modified ranks for 2019 it left everyone with a clear shot to claim a checkered flag. Ryan Stabler would jump into the early race lead at the start of the 50-lap event over Kaven Poliquin, Robert Delormier, Justin Desrosiers and Johnathon Ferguson. Stabler who has only 3 career wins in the DirtCar Sportsman ranks, was looking strong on this night as he pulled away on a slick race track in the early laps as behind him Robert Delormier was making his move forward to the number two spot. On lap 5 Delormier would make his move and quickly close in on Ryan Stabler who was starting to enter into traffic. By lap 12 the top two had pulled away from the field and were cutting through the traffic perfectly while Brianna Ladouceur was also on the charge from her 8th starting spot. Ladouceur who had previously competed in the 150-lap 358 Modified race earlier in the day, was running on pure adrenaline as she got by Kaven Poliquin on lap 20. At the halfway point Stabler and Delormier were battling hard for the lead but traffic was making it very difficult for the two of them which allow Ladouceur to close in and make it a 3-car battle. On lap 38 the first yellow flew as Jeffrey Lapalme slowed to a stop in turn 4. When the green flew Robert Delormier knew it was go-time as he took over the lead and started to drive away. Behind him, Brianna Ladouceur was also on the charge as she battled Ryan Stabler for 2nd over the final 10 laps with Johnathon Ferguson 4th and former series champion and 8-time Cornwall feature winner Shane Pecore completing the top 5. In the end, Robert Delormier would go unchallenged claiming his 2nd career DirtCar Sportsman Series win and first on the North Region in 2019. Brianna Ladouceur's busy night resulted in a second-place run followed by Ryan Stabler, Johnathon Ferguson, and Shane Pecore. The North Region takes a couple of weeks away before getting back to action at the Plattsburgh Airborne Speedway and Travis Bruno will look to defend home turf after winning the regional opener on May 4th.

Super DIRTcar Series Stars Aiming to Build Momentum at Utica-Rome Posted: 27 Aug 2019 10:26 AM PDT 100 laps will decide $7,500-winner on Sunday, Sept. 1 in Vernon, NYVERNON, NY – Utica-Rome Speedway has developed a reputation for being one of the fastest and most exciting race tracks on the Super DIRTcar Series tour. On Sunday, Sept. 1, the biggest stars in Big Block Modified racing will compete over 100 laps for $7,500-to-win and $500-to-start on the Vernon, NY dirt oval in an event presented by Broedel Fuel Group and Clinton Tractor. So far in 2019, the Baldwinsville Bandit Jimmy Phelps and his HBR No. 98H have been locked out of Victory Lane despite their strong efforts. Last year Phelps found the winning formula and took the checkered flag at Utica-Rome in July. HBR will be checking their notebook from last year's race to duplicate the success. In that race, Phelps held off Danny Johnson and Erick Rudolph for 100 laps. This year Danny Johnson has lacked stability, racing for three different race teams. Incredibly he's maintained a top-10 seed in points. Now it seems the operation has settled down and Johnson, a 2019 Hall of Fame inductee, is starting to find his groove. Can The Doctor get the familiar orange No. 27J to the front once again? Erick Rudolph is this year's DIRTcar 358 Modified Track Champion at Utica-Rome. Don't expect the No. 25R to be far from the front in any of the race sessions on Sunday, Sept. 1. Rudolph took the win in a 358 Modified Series race earlier this year after outdueling rival Mat Williamson. Billy Dunn and Pat Ward sit second and third in Utica-Rome's weekly points. They are both good bets to take the fight to Series regulars for the $7,500 payday. Other drivers to be on hand include defending NAPA Super DIRT Week Champion Larry Wight, living legend Billy Decker, rookies Ryan Godown, Jack Lehner and Demetrios Drellos, Buzz Chew Racing's Williamson and more. Peter Britten and Mike Mahaney are two drivers who have been performing well in their Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship programs but have fallen short of their expectations in Series racing. Both are also with new teams in 2019. Britten is back to his family-owned program while Mahaney has moved to the No. 35 Huttig-owned Big Block Modified. With a heavy schedule up until November's Can-Am World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, Mahaney and Britten need to capture some momentum for the final leg of the season to make a push for the top five. Can Utica-Rome produce a new 2019 winner? If you can't make it to the track, be sure to tune in with our partners at FloRacing for the live HD stream.
