Labor Day Weekend "Bullring Style"


PERRY, NY…. Sunday September 4th 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 1/3rd 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 3rd) 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.
