RACE OF CHAMPIONS MODIFIED SERIES HEADS TO CHEMUNG SPEEDROME THIS SATURDAY FOR THE CONTINUING TRADITION OF THE ROD SPALDING CLASSIC
The Race of Champions Modified Series will play the headline role this Saturday at the Chemung (NY) Speedrome, August 10 for the traditional running of the “Rod Spalding Classic”. The event is always one of the most anticipated events of the racing season in the Southern Tier region of the state.
Spalding was a Modified racer, who received the Sportsmanship of the Year award at Shangri-La Speedway in Tioga, NY, before he was seriously hurt at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, NC, in a Modified event. His mark throughout his career and ultimately the Spalding Foundation for Injured Drivers has been made throughout the region since.
“It’s definitely an event we look forward to,” stated recent Series winner, Jack Ely. “It’s a big tradition and a big night at Chemung. We’ve been up and down lately and I’m hoping we can turn things back around at Chemung and get everything going back in the right direction. We are looking forward to it and hopefully we have a great night.”
The High as a Hawk Race of Champions Late Model Series will join the card at Chemung. This season the Late Models have impressed fans with an expanded car count with 14 cars showing up for each of the first two events on their five race calendar.
The Race of Champions FOAR SCORE Four Cylinder Dash Series will also be in action as the “RoC-In” Summer Tour continues bringing exciting events to tracks throughout the region.
All Race of Champions “Family of Series” events will be streamed on RoCModifiedSeries.TV powered by Racing America.
