FERRIS MOWERS RACE OF CHAMPIONS ASPHALT MODIFIED SERIES
PREPARED TO TAKE ON CHEMUNG SPEEDROME
Traditional Sunday, May 1 Race Date at Chemung brings out
the best in Series |
When
competitors in the Ferris Mowers Race of Champions Asphalt Modified
Series Fueled by Sunoco head to the Chemung Speedrome they have to
tackle the challenge of uniquely shaped track that presents great
racing opportunities. The event also signifies the first asphalt
event in the Southern Tier of New York curing racers and race fans
of “Cabin Fever”.
“Everyone is ready to go and now the way the Spring has played out
to this point we haven’t had many opportunities to get out and
race,” stated Orchard Park’s Patrick Emerling. “It will be great to
get to Chemung and give it our all. The track presents us with some
setup and driving challenges, but I think we can be competitive when
it counts.”
The Series last visited Chemung for the Race of Champions last
October in an event where Matt Hirschman of Northampton,
Pennsylvania prevailed, which also vaulted him to the 2015 Series
Championship. Hirschman has a knack for always being in the hunt at
Chemung.
“It’s a challenging track which presents opportunities for passing
and you have to hit your marks,” offered Hirschman. “I think the
fans will see the usual great racing that the Series always brings
to Chemung. It will definitely be exciting.”
Bryan Sherwood of Binghamton, N.Y., is ready to compete at Chemung
in the 75-lap event on Sunday.
“We had a decent day at Mahoning and we’re definitely looking
forward to Chemung on Sunday,” stated Sherwood, who has followed the
Series for several years. “Right now, that would be our home track
and we’re looking forward to building off our race at Mahoning. Our
friends and family come out to watch us race when we are close to
home and we’re looking forward to rewarding them with a good run.”
The gates open at Chemung for fans on Sunday, May 1 at 12:00 pm
(noon) with practice to follow at 1:00 pm, followed by the
qualifying races starting 2:15 pm. Questions may be answered at the
Chemung Speedrome Summer number: (607) 529-9998.
