MAHONING VALLEY SPEEDWAY ‘OCTOBERFAST’ 150 NEXT UP FOR
FERRIS MOWERS RACE OF CHAMPIONS ASPHALT MODIFIED SERIES
FUELED BY SUNOCO
Emerling and Hossfeld Lead Championship Battle to the
Exciting Quarter-Mile |
The
Ferris Mowers Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Series fueled by
Sunoco heads to the quarter-mile confines of the Mahoning Valley
Speedway in Lehighton, Pa., for the Octoberfast 150 this coming
Saturday (October 22). The 150-lap event is sure to be exciting with
much on the line for the Series in regard to the championship, but
also $5,000-to-the-winner.
Patrick Emerling of Orchard Park, N.Y., and Chuck Hossfeld or
Ransomville, N.Y., will lead the Race of Champions stars to the
track to do battle with Mahoning Valley Speedway weekly racers like
Eric Beers of Northampton, Pa., Earl Paules of Palmerton, Pa., as
well as veteran racers like Matt Hirschman of Northampton, Pa., who
frequents both Mahoning and the Race of Champions Series. Beers
scored the win in the Race of Champions series opener at Mahoning
this past April.
“It’s going to be very competitive,” offered Beers, who is the 2016
Mahoning Valley Speedway track champion. “There is a good purse on
the line as well as those guys racing for a championship. In 150
laps at Mahoning, pretty much anything can happen and usually does.
It’s going to be exciting and something that race fans are not going
to want to miss.”
Emeriling and Hossfeld have dueled all season with Emerling winning
an amazing eight races thus far. Hossfeld has set the benchmark with
“fast times” during the group time trial format dating back to
Emerling setting fast time at Mahoning in April. It has developed
into a heated yet respectful rivalry that will play out in the next
two races starting with Octoberfast at Mahoning.
“My guys have done an awesome job and have worked their tails off
all year,” offered Hossfeld. “Mahoning will be no different. It’s a
unique track that presents some different challenges, but we will be
up to the task when the time comes and we are looking forward to it.
Hopefully, we catch a few good breaks and things go our way.”
The green-white-checker group qualifying sessions begin at 4:00pm at
Mahoning with racing to follow in fast-paced fun-filled afternoon.
