Labor Day Weekend "Bullring Style"

PERRY, NY…. Sunday September 4^th begins Wyoming County International Speedway’s weekend specials with the running of the annual Labor Day 100 for the SST Modifieds. Also on the racing card will be the SST Super Stocks in a 50 lap affair and the 4 Cylinder Stocks will be running in an extra distance event as well.

Defending SST Modified 100 winner and defending Track Champion Andy Jankowiak looks to defend the victory on the 1/3^rd mile Bullring oval in Perry, NY. Current points leader TJ Zacharias would like to add his name to the winners list of this prestigious event for the open-wheeled machines. Drivers that have committed to this event include Chemung Speedrome track champion Jimmy Zacharias, Chris and Matt Clemens and WCIS regulars Ed Schueler, Dick Kluth, Jim Love, Tom Weist, Bill Roemasser and local dirt campaigner Ray Bliss Jr. “Zeke the Streak” will be campaigning a car owned by the Logsdon family. Those drivers will try to defend their home turf against the best Sportsman-Modified campaigners in the area on the tight Bullring.

Willie Strusz from Michigan will be on hand to defend his Super Stock 50 victory from one season ago. Joining him will be multi time feature winners in 2011 Jay Canonico, Joe Mancuso, Phil Alhart Jr., as well as Cassie Logsdon, Daniel Majchrzak, Mike Chenaille, Austyn Fugle, John Bookmiller, Jeremy Gray, Brad Collings, and Brian Gleason. They will try to win on the historic Perry oval as they try to hold off the invaders.

Kevin Grom will return to action at WCIS for the Labor Day 25 for the wild and wacky 4 Cylinder Stocks as he will be joined by rookie Joe Horvatits, Josh Eickhoff, Dakota Packman, Gert McDonald, Eric Hastreiter, Jason Landcastle, and Brian Johnson. The 4 Cylinders always put on a great show and this race is certainly one not to miss.

Each race will be paying extra money through the donations of lap sponsorships for each of the three divisions in competition. Fan John Kondziela not only put money towards the SST Modified feature, he also donated cases of Castle Streakproff Glass Cleaner to be given to the drivers that finish in the top 5 of the SST Modified feature.  In total, over $800 will be given throughout the field of the SST Modifieds. The Supers will be racing for an extra $375 and a bonus is also on the line for the Supers through the generosity of Bambino Bar and Kitchen in Buffalo. “Any Super Stock driver that finishes in the top five the night prior (Saturday September 3^rd) at Dunn Tire Raceway Park and then wins at WCIS the next day will be given the extra money” as well as bragging rights.  Special thanks to Joe Mancuso and his sponsor for the donation. The 4 Cylinders will also be racing for extra dough on this night.

Pit gates for this event will be swinging wide at 3pm as well as the Grandstands with race time being at 6:00pm sharp.

Jimmy Zacharias Tops Field at WCIS

PERRY, NY…. The cars and the stars were on hand for another Friday night filled of racing excitement at Wyoming County International Speedway (WCIS). The weather was perfect for the evening which had music complements of Fugle Motorsports, having Billy Dee (Johnny Cash) and Dayle Ess (Patsy Cline) singing throughout the night to entertain the crowd. The on track racing action was the best so far this season at the 1/3^rd mile facility as Candor, NY’s Jimmy Zacharias took top honors in the SST Modified feature. Joe Mancuso won in the Super Stocks and Brian Johnson won in the 4 Cylinders.

SST Feature Winner Jimmy Zacharias

Tom Weist and Ed Schueler led the strong field of SST Modifieds to Starter James Mitchell’s green flag for their 35 lap feature go with Weist showing the way early. Schueler would pass Weist on the second go around to take over the lead and one lap later saw four time feature winner and defending track champion Andy Jankowiak take over at the point.

The yellow lights would come out for Greg Utberg who spun in turn four to bunch the field up for the first time. On the restart, Jankowiak would get loose and lose the handle of his racer in turn two to bring out the caution once again. Jankowiak appeared to be leaking power steering fluid on the track but would be able to get back racing again after the problem was fixed.

The restart saw the Zacharias brothers leading the way with elder brother Jimmy leading younger brother and current point’s leader TJ with six laps completed out of the scheduled 35. Jimmy was able to get on by TJ for the top spot with Matt Kurzejewski running in third position off the restart. 

Ed Schueler would spin in turn two to bring out the yellow after many laps of green flag racing in which Jimmy Zacharias would dominate the field with TJ Zacharias and Kurzejewski right there trying to get through the lap cars. The restart saw Jimmy still be in the lead and once again pulled away from the field. “JZ” Jimmy Zacharias would pull off his second win of the season at WCIS with his brother TJ coming home in second and Andy Jankowiak, coming off his power steering issues, came back and finished in third.

Super Stock Winner: Joe Mancuso - Laura Loooooo Photorgraphy

Heat winner Austyn Fugle and Jay Canonico would lead the Super Stocks to the green flag with Canonico out front early on. Second heat winner Joe Mancuso would be up to third and challenging the lead duo of Canonico and Fugle. Fugle would edge back around Canonico for the top spot with Mancuso and Phil Alhart Jr right behind him.

Canonico would start getting loose exiting the corners and allowed Alhart and Majchrzak to get on by. Brad Collings slowed with six laps remaining to bring out the lone caution in the event.

Mancuso would get around Fugle with three to go and went on to win his second win of the season. Fugle would finish second and Alhart would cross the line in third. However, Fugle and Daniel Majchrzak were found illegal in post-race tech.

Jason Landcastle and Eric Hastreiter were on the front row for the 20 lap feature event for the 4 Cylinders with Landcastle out to the early race lead. Contact between Nate Kosen and Dakota Packman that sent Packman to the front stretch wall. Both were able to continue on racing for the lap one restart.

That restart saw Landcastle as the leader with Brian Johnson on the move. Johnson, who was last week’s feature winner from Castile took over the top spot on the third lap of the 20 lap feature distance. Johnson would still be the leader at the halfway mark with Landcastle leading Hastreiter with Daniel Majchrzak and cousin Dakota Packman back in the fifth position. One lap later, Hastreiter would get around Landcastle for second place. Brian Johnson would lead the remaining laps to score his second straight feature win over Eric Hastreiter and Jason Landcastle.

Remembering Tommy Druar and Tony Jankowiak

This coming Saturday night at Dunn Tire Raceway Park (DTRP) is the annual Tommy Druar/Tony Jankowiak Memorial 100 for the Mighty Modifieds. The 100 lap special for the open-wheeled machines takes home a minimum of $4500 to win, $2000 minimum for 2nd, and it will be a minimum of $300 to start the feature event at the "Home of the US Open".

Tommy Druar in Victory Lane at Lancaster

Tommy Druar and Tony Jankowiak were both taken away from us way to soon. Both loved driving open-wheeled Modifieds at Lancaster. Tommy was known as the "Traveling Man". Tommy would travel to any racetrack to race. Tommy edged Tony out at the end and became the 1987 Modified Champion.  The following season Tommy was able to defend his title and win his second career championship which included a win in each month of the 1988 season.  Tommy had a family that he loved,  he really enjoyed being with them.  During the off season, he contemplated hanging up his helmet.  Racing was becoming more expensive and it was harder to spend the time with his family. With less than a month before the 1989 season started,  Tommy picked up Mobil as a sponsor and decided to race for another year. 

Tommy was taken away from us on June 10, 1989 in an accident at Lancaster. His car jumped wheels with a competitors car and hit the wall drivers side first.Tommy did not survive the accident. Tommy is survived by his wife Mickey and children, Matt and Ashley

Tony Jankowiak lost his life just ten months after brother in law Tommy at the Spring Sizzler at Stafford Motor Speedway in Stafford Springs, Connecticut. Tony was behind the wheel of the Bill Potts-David Riggs owned #99 on the Modified tour for the 1990 racing season. Tony was trying to get around a lap car and the two made contact and Tony slammed into the turn one wall head on.

Tony left behind his wife Debbie and Children Andy and Tommy.

The loss of both Tony and Tommy along with several other drivers in a short period of time helped to jump start a complete overhaul of the safety specifics of the cars in the division. Safety features were implemented at Lancaster after Tommy Druar’s crash like foam wall technology pioneered by Bill Colton to which many drivers credit with saving lives. The Modified cars themselves were completely redesigned with more impact absorbing crumple zones that produced the Modified design that is still in use today. Tony Jankowiak was the last driver in this span to be killed in a Modified.  

Tommy and Tony are missed by us all and now the second generation is taking over the driving chores with Matt Druar driving a Street Stock at DTRP and Andy Jankowiak driving an Sportsman Modified at Wyoming County International, DTRP and Holland and he also drives for Vinnie Christiano in the Casey's TQ Midget Series. 

With the running of the Tommy/Tony Memorial 100, we remember two of the all-time greats in Western New York Modified competition.  This race honors these two men and is a favorite of both drivers and fans at Lancaster and throughout Western New York as they get to remember two of their own that died doing what they loved. God Speed Tommy and Tony, you are missed by us all.

Andy Jankowiak wins 4th of 2011 at WCIS

PERRY, NY….. A beautiful Mid-August evening welcomed the stars and the cars to Elitsac Lumber Night at Wyoming County International Speedway (WCIS). The entire staff and management at WCIS would like to thank the folks at Elitsac Lumber for sponsoring the night’s festivities on the 1/3^rd mile oval in the hills of Wyoming County. On the track it was Andy Jankowiak getting the win in the SST Modifieds. In the Super Stocks, it was Austyn Fugle getting his second victory of the season and in the 4 Cylinders it was Brian Johnson notching his first win of 2011.

Heat winner Andy Jankowiak and Dick Kluth were on the front row for the 35 lap affair for the open-wheeled SST Modifieds and it was Jankowiak out front early on. Dan Hoag had a hard hit into the back stretch concrete, ending the night of the Dansville competitor. The field went back under green flag conditions and it was Jankowiak back in the lead with Jim Love leading Dick Kluth and TJ Zacharias.

Zacharias looked to the inside of Love for the runner up spot and would complete the pass going down the front straightaway early on in the event. Jankowiak was still ahead of the class when the field came under starter James Mitchell’s crossed-flags meaning the race was half over. Zacharias, Love, Kluth and Jim “Timex” Morgan making his SST Modified debut was running fifth.

Nobody was going to catch Andy J on this night as Jankowiak would lead from start to finish claiming his fourth win of the season at the Perry Bullring.  Coming home second was TJ Zacharias and Jim Love rounded out the top three.

Austin Fugle and Bob Herman were on the front row for the Super Stock feature and it was Fugle out to the early race lead. Last week’s feature winner Phil Alhart Jr quickly moved from his starting spot to take over the number three position on lap two and moved into second just couple of laps later. The driver that was on the move was former track champion Kenny Barber. Barber, who was filling in for Jeremy Gray, started towards the rear of the field and was up into third just before the halfway mark of the race. The Livonia, NY pilot held off all challenges as Fugle would lead from start to finish to win his second race of the 2011 racing season. Alhart would come home in second and Kenny Barber would round out the top three. 

Joe Horvatits and Eric Hastreiter led the field of 4 Cylinders to the green flag for their 20 lap feature event with Horvatits out front early. Second generation driver Matt Druar got turned around by three-time feature winner Charles Buchanan on the first go around to bring out the races’ first caution.

On the restart it was Horvatits in the lead and there was a problem for Hastreiter as the Silver Lake Marina, Southpaw Signs Bill at Da Grille Restaurant entry slowed but was able to continue on racing. Heat winner Tom Lalomia Jr was able to get around Horvatits for the top spot with a move to the outside of turn two to claim the number one position. When the race was half completed, it was heat winner Tom Lalomia Jr leading the way over Brian Johnson, Charles Buchanan, Matt Druar and Vinnie Muscarella running in the top five.

There was a battle for the lead shaping up at the front of the field between race leader Lalomia and Brian Johnson and with three laps remaining, Johnson would make his move on the top side of the speedway and would pass Lalomia for the top spot. Johnson, from Castile would lead the remaining three circuits to claim his first win of 2011 at the Bullring. Lalomia would cross the line in second followed by Buchanan, Druar and Muscarella.

Racing continues next Friday night at the Bullring featuring the SST Modifieds, Super Stocks and 4 Cylinders. Pit gates open at 5:00pm with the grandstand gates also swinging open at 5pm. The racing action gets underway at 7:30. An added special performance next week by Billy Dee, who will be performing hits from Johnny Cash and Dayle Ess singing favorites from Patsy Cline.

The Carbone’s: A Racing Tradition

Tony (31), Dylan (13), Louis (3) and Chris (17) - Sara Carbone Photo

The Carbone family is well known for racing on tracks throughout Western New York and it continues with the next generation right here at the Holland NASCAR Motorsports Complex.  There are currently five Hornets under the Carbone Racing name and one National Overhead Door Pro Modified that call Holland home each race night.

Joe Carbone returns to the racing game this season after spending the last couple of seasons getting the Hornet cars ready to race for the next generation. Joe drives for car owner Gene Stevenson in his Stevenson Paints, Vic’s Auto Service 31. Before hoping in the Modified, Joe was a competitor in the then “new” class here at the Speedway, the Late Models of Tomorrow (LAMOT). After taking a few years off to help get the young Carbone’s get their racing careers started, Joe came back this season. One thing that you didn’t know about Joe, “I have finished second in points twice and I have never one a track title” said the elder Carbone. And now it is time to meet the next generation of racing Carbones.

Tony (31) and Chris Powers (17) Sara Carbone Photo

Tony Carbone campaigns the familiar Carbone Orange 31 Hornet. The 1997 Honda Civic is wrenched by Dad Joe Carbone, Brother Josh Carbone, and Cousin Tim Boyce. The Carbone entry is sponsored by Vic’s Auto Service, Aurora Service & Sales, Guardian Fence, Cabaret Restaurant, TK’s Pizza, Done Rite Lawn & Landscaping, and C&B Towing.

Tony is in his second full season of competition in the Hornet division after a partial season in 2009 and his rookie campaign last season. Before getting behind the wheel, Tony was behind the wrenches, working on his dad’s Late Model since 2004. “That was when I was old enough to be in the pits” said Tony and he has been at the racetrack every Saturday since he could walk. Tony currently has two career victories to his credit, both coming three weeks apart last season as he won his first career race on August 14^th and backed it up with a win on August 28^th. Tony was the 2010 Rookie of the Year in the Hornet division as well as taking home the Best Appearing Car Award as well as winning the Best in Show Award at the McKinley Mall Car Show, held earlier this season.

Tony says that he is in the Hornet class “to get my feet wet and to just learn out there”. For 2011 his goal is to improve on last year’s 3rd place in points. If any moving up were to happen for Tony, it would be to the charger class, “I’m not sure how soon but we will see”, said Carbone.  Tony continued to say that “Holland does a good job organizing there events and letting us drivers take part in events outside of the track such as the Erie County Fair and the McKinley Mall show. They have their schedule out early and with NASCAR sanctioning it certainly helps. Even something as simple as paved pits, lighting, and power makes a big difference to race teams. But for the Hornet 4-cylinder division Holland is the best. You realistically can’t have the playing field leveled any more than it is in the Hornets”.

Racing is in their blood, everything they did as kids was who could do it fastest. From the Big Wheels “domination at Lancaster” to the five that have full size race cars, “It’s something we all love to be a part of, my family is very close. So far we have been pretty supportive of each other, racing is a competitive thing so tensions flare at times but we will all be back at the shop laughing about it the next day” said Tony.

One of the five Carbone entries in the Hornet division is Chris Powers. Chris is behind the wheel of the 17 hornet which is a 1995 Honda Accord. Chris’s sponsors in 2011 include The Well Bar and Grille, L.A. Woolley Electric, Grasers Ceramics, Chicken ‘n Pizza Works, District Council #4, Pro Fireplace, M&M Property Maintenance and Vic’s Auto Service. The Orchard Park native would like to thank his crew; Nick, Jon and Ray Powers for all their hard work in the garage during the week and at the track each weekend.

Powers is in his third year of racing, all in the Hornet division and he has no plans on moving up just yet. “If I were to move up, it would likely be to the Chargers “said Powers. Chris’s rookie season was a memorable one as he strung together three consecutive top three finishes to propel him to the top ten in points after suffering two DNFs (did not finish), including one on double points night.

Chris’s expectations for the 2011 racing season is to “keep my car in one piece and bring home my first victory”. About racing here at Holland, Powers said that “there is a solid car count every week and that everyone gets along with one another”. He also said that “I get to race on a surface that was host to many greats and two of them being my uncles, Lou and Joe Carbone”. Chris enjoys competing against his cousins each and every Saturday night. “It makes it that much more fun to race, just like the old days when we all raced big wheels at Lancaster (Dunn Tire Raceway Park)”.

The team has a set of brothers in it with Dylan and Louis Carbone. Dylan is behind the wheel of the two-toned 13 Honda Civic. The 13 machine is sponsored by Vic’s Auto Service, All Metal Inc., Dagofast Fabrication, Lolgate Industrial, Buffalo Granite and Marble and Massage Suite and Spa. Dylan is in his second full year of racing. Dylan drives in the Hornets because “it’s cheap and I am still learning”. Learning to compete is a big goal for most racers and to the entire Carbone crew it’s the way to be successful. Dylan is hoping to pick up a feature win this year but he says “there’s always next year”. Like his cousins, Dylan would like to move up to the Charger class because “it’s great racing”. Dylan likes Holland because “how everyone knows everyone. Sometimes, its not always a good thing but it does have its benefits”. Those benefits being that everyone is willing and able to help them whenever in need of it.

The Carbone Hornet team added two more members in 2011 as Louis Carbone and Cousin Tim Boyce put cars together. Louis is behind the wheel of the blue number 3 Honda Civic. The Dagofast Fabrication, The Message Sweets and Spa sponsored machine has only been on the race track for just a few weeks. Louis has been driving for a year and a half and says it’s a “family event” when asked about racing in the Hornets. “It’s also affordable and fun” said Louis. His expectations this season is to have fun and share all the memories of the year with his friends and family. “The adrenaline rush of racing at Holland is out of this world” when talking about racing here on the 3/8^th’s high banks. Louis doesn’t have any plans on moving up, but he did say it would be the Chargers “when the time is right”. Cousin Tim Boyce is just getting behind the wheel of the 4 Cylinder Hornets. Tim drives the number 12 and is just out there for some seat time and will be a strong threat in 2012 here at Holland.

The Carbone name has a lot of racing history with it. The Holland NASCAR Motorsports Complex has history as many great drivers have called Holland home over the years and now we are looking towards the future of racing and right here in front of our own eyes, we see the Carbone continuing on their racing tradition.

Phil Alhart Jr Wins Jim Roberts Memorial at WCIS

PERRY, NY…. A beautiful Friday night welcomed the fans and the cars to Wyoming County International Speedway on NAPA Night. The local NAPA Auto Parts stores in Warsaw and Perry presented the Friday Night program under the lights including the headline 2^nd Annual Jim Roberts Memorial for the Super Stocks plus the SST Modifieds and the 4 Cylinders. It was a night of thirds in victory lane as TJ Zacharias (SST Modified), Phil Alhart Jr. (Super Stocks) and Charles Buchanan (4 Cylinders) all won their third victory of the season at the Adrian Road Speed plant. The annual Junkyard Soccer event followed the nights racing activities as the team of track crew person Nate along with Jim Majchrzak and Mike Adamczak won the match against Daniel Majchrzak, Ron Greek and Joe Horvatits by the score of 4-2.Also in competition was the vintage Late Models in an eight lap exhibition and second generation driver Daniel Majchrzak won that event. 

Phil Alhart Jr

The headlining event for the evening was the Jim Roberts Memorial for the Super Stocks. The Roberts family would like to thank all of those that supported the event this year to honor one of the nice guys in racing, former track welder Jim Roberts. When it was all said and done, it was Fairport, NY’s own Phil Alhart Jr. taking home the victory. It was the third of the season for the defending track champion.

Defending Race winner Robert Fink and Phil Alhart Jr led the field to James Mitchell’s green flag for the 50 lap affair and it was Fink out to the early lead. The strong field of Supers was moving quickly around the Perry speed plant as action was seen all over the speedway. The first caution came out on lap five for contact between Austyn Fugle and Mike Chenaille. Both cars were able to rejoin the field and on the restart, Fink continued to show the way with Lee Sharpsteen running in second. A couple of laps later, some of the heavy hitters were on the move.  Phil Alhart Jr and Jay Mudra were able to get around Sharpsteen for the runner up spot and Daniel Majchrzak and Joe Mancuso right there trying to get into the top five after ten laps of the scheduled 50.

The yellow lights would come back on one more time on lap 20 as Grace Roberts lost the handle of her Jim Roberts Memorial R7 ride coming off of turn number two. On that caution, Austyn Fugle had problems and went pit side, ending his night. On the restart, Jay Mudra went to the outside and got around Fink coming down the back stretch to take over the top spot with Alhart, Mancuso and Majchrzak all running inside the top five. At the halfway mark it was Mudra continuing to lead Fink, Mancuso, Alhart and Majchrzak with Jeremy Gray and Cassie Logsdon right there as well.

Roberts would once again loose the handle of her machine off turn four and the caution would come back out on lap number 30. Mudra would continue to be the head of the class on the restart with Joe Mancuso right on his back bumper.

The yellow lights would fly once again as heat winner Lee Sharpsteen looped his TNT Motorsports entry to bring out the fourth caution in the event. There were problems during the last caution of the night as race leader Jay Mudra had a right front flat, and second place car Joe Mancuso suffering a problem and losing oil pressure and heading to the pit area. With all that being said, and the top two cars in the pits, Robert Fink regained the lead. That set up a ten lap shootout at the Bullring and Robert Fink was the first car across the line but failed post-race tech, therefore the win went to second place driver Phil Alhart Jr. Daniel Majchrzak finished in second with Jeremy Gray completing the top three with Jay Mudra and Lee Sharpsteen finishing in positions four and five.

SST Modified feature winner TJ Zacharias

Ed Schueler and heat winner Dick Kluth led the field of SST Modifieds to the green flag in their 35 lap feature with Schueler out to the early lead. Dick Kluth would get around Schueler for the lead on lap two and just one lap later, TJ Zacharias would take over the lead from his number five starting position.

Lap cars became a factor early in this event as the leaders were flying around the 1/3^rd mile Perry Bullring. Race leader Zacharias was out to a full straightaway advantage over the rest of the field but Greg Utberg erased Zacharias’s lead with a spin in turn four.

That bunched the field up with Zacharias pulling away off the mid-race restart and John Barber looked to get around Kluth for the runner up spot but was unsuccessful. Barber had a great battle with Kluth and Jim Love towards the end of the event with Barber getting loose coming off of four on the last lap in a “racing incident” with Love, but was able to come back across the line in fourth position when the race was finished. Once out front, Zacharias would pull away to seal his third win of 2011 on the Perry Bullring over Dick Kluth and Jim Love.

4 Cylinder Winner Charles Buchanan - Laura Loooooo Photorgraphy

Joe Horvatits and Eric Haistreiter led the field of 4 Cylinders to the start of their 20 lap feature event with Haistreiter getting the early race lead.  Charles Buchanan took the lead away on lap number two and pulled out to a huge advantage over the field. Buchanan continued to show the way  at halfway over Matt Druar, Tom  Lalomia, Haistreiter and Jake Lyon.

The Stadium Collision, TDH Refrigeration, Big L Distributers sponsored 09 of Charles Buchanan pulled away and collected his third win of the 2011 season at WCIS. Matt Druar finished in second followed by Tom Lalomia Jr in third, Lyon and Hastreiter.

Coming up next week at the Bullring will be Contractor’s Night sponsored by Elitsac Lumber. The festivities get underway at 7:30pm featuring the SST Modifieds, Super Stocks and 4 Cylinders with the gates for both the grandstand and the pit area to swing open at 5:00pm.
