PERRY, NY… A warm summer evening welcomed fans to Wyoming County International Speedway for Farm Days. Reisdorf Brothers as well as Lamb and Webster were the sponsors for the evening’s racing action on the historic 1/3rd mile oval in Perry, NY. TJ Zacharias would win his second feature of the 2011 season in the SST Modifieds as did Tom Lalomia Jr in the 4 cylinders. The Super Stock feature win was picked up by Joe Mancuso, who went to victory lane for the first time in his racing career.

| Feature Winner TJ Zacharias |
Ed Schueler and Dick Kluth led the SST Modifieds to the
green flag and it was Schueler out to the early lead. Kluth would get around
Schuler for the top spot on the second lap of the scheduled 35 lap distance. TJ
Zacharias would pass Kluth for the lead on lap five and last week’s feature
winner Jim Love would pass Kluth for the runner up spot a couple of laps later.
Once out front, the Candor NY pilot would pull away from
Love and Kluth in the top three. Racing was spread out all over the speedway as
Zacharias would pull out to a sizable lead over both Love and Kluth as well as
pole sitter Schueler until Schueler had problems on his Rear End Specialists
machine and went pit side for the duration of the feature event. After the restart green, Zacharias would
command the remaining laps as TJ Zacharias would win his second feature win of
the season at WCIS over Jim Love and Dick Kluth.
Perry residents Mike Chenaille and Brad Collings led the
field of Super Stocks to the green flag and it was Chenaille out front early.
Chenaille would lead the early stages of the feature event and it was Joe
Mancuso on the move early on and was able to pass Chenaille for the race lead
just before the halfway mark of the feature event.

| Super Stock Winner: Joe Mancuso |
Mancuso, in his Mancuso Designs, Fullone Trucking machine
was leading the way with Jay Canonico trying to reel him in with Phil Alhart Jr
running in third and that would be the way they would run to the finish as
Mancuso would win his first career feature event. Canonico would finish second
and Alhart would cross the line in third.
As a note of sportsmanship, 4 Cylinder campaigner Brian Johnson offered
his ride to Austyn Fugle to use in the feature event as Austyn suffered a
broken rear end during hot laps earlier in the night.

Troy Collings and Joe Horvatits led the 4 cylinders to
the green flag in their 20 lap feature event and it was the Birthday Boy Joe
Horvatits out to the early lead. Heat Winner Jason Landcastle took the lead
away from Horvatits entering turns one and two on the second circuit. Last
week’s feature winner Tom Lalomia Jr would get around Landcastle and take over
the top spot.
Once out front, Lalomia would pull away but Johnson threw
everything that he could to get around the race leader but ran out of time as Tom
Lalomia Jr would pick up his second win of the season at the Bullring over
Brian Johnson and Jason Landcastle.
Next week is a special week at WCIS as we honor a great
man in Jim Roberts with the running of the Jim Roberts Memorial 50 for the
Super Stocks. Jim was the former welder at the speedway for many seasons. As
part of the memorial race, there will also be a Chinese auction for the fans. This race is one of the highlights of the schedule
at Wyoming County with several of the top names of the Super Stocks ranks will
be on hand. Also on the racing card will
be the SST Modifieds as well as the 4 Cylinders. As part of the night’s
festivities, it is also the 52nd racer Reunion. Any former driver at
WCIS whether it is on the dirt or asphalt, is invited to return to the speedway
to reminisce about racing in the “good ol’ days”. Pit gates and Grandstand
gates open at 5:00pm with race time at 7:30pm sharp. For more information, you
