Jim Windrow lead 47 laps in each 50 lap event. The first he won. The 2nd he wasnt so lucky as the race saw a green white checker finish, and Matt Corliss used a great restart and the 2nd groove to get by Windrow at the finish.
Wednesday Night the SK’s Modifeds where in action as the New England Series made a stop at Lee USA Speedway for two 50 lap events. The #78 of Point Leader Bobby Ambroceo grabbed the pole for both events and dominated the field. Ambroceo picked up his 9th and 10th win of the season.
On a damp Wednesday Night, The New England Sk Modifieds pulled into Kalamazoo for there two 50 lap features. With a buzz in the air, you could tell the drivers that traveled all the way from the New England states on the East Coast, we hungry to knock off Kalamazoo Hot Shoe Matt Corliss at his home track. The night heated up as Corliss would prove he was the man to beat as he grabbed the pole for both events. He would lead all 50 laps in the 1st race to take the checkers. Race 2 was like Deja Vu, Bobby Ambroceo put the heat on Corliss the whole way, showing that one mistake and he was ready to pounce. Unfortunately for Ambroceo and the others, they were not able to do anything with Corliss. Ambroceo would finish 2nd, Jim Windrow was 3rd, Chad Barcomb 4th, and Bill Kring 5th.
The Sunoco Sk Modifieds tackled the Riverside Park Speedway on a cool Wednesday Night. The newly revamped racetrack proved again to be one of the most competitive speedway in the U.S. The venue was two 50 lap feature events. With the point battle a tight one, Bobby Ambroceo, Jim Windrow and Matt Corliss looked to try to take control of it. Instead by the time the sparks were done flying and the tempers were up, you now can throw a blanket on the top 3. The 1st race of the night saw Corliss grab the pole in his Founders Brewery #28 Chevrolet. When the green flew, Windrow, who started outside pole in the #12 Monk machine, would over take Corliss on the high side after a side by side battle lasted for the first part of the race. Ambroceo in the #78 Bills Auto Chevy caught a fading Corliss and started to work the low side, but was not successful as Corliss used the 2nd and 3rd grooves to hold Ambroceo off. The two ran side by side on the fast high banked 1/4 mile, for over 20+ laps. In the end Windrow held on to win the 1st of two races. Corliss was 2nd, Ambroceo 3rd, Todd Taylor had a great race in 4th and Chad Barcomb 5th. Race #2 saw Ambroceo grab the pole. As blood pressures raised, it showed as the 50 lapper saw 5 yellow flags as the drivers patience were running out. A few late race accidents saw Corliss drive in a little deep and clobber Danny Savary. The both of them were escorted off the property after a tangle up in the pits. Neither one could be caught up with to get any comments, as Savary was very furious with Corliss afterwords. Meanwhile Chris Forster in his #05 made a rare appearance to stay out of mishaps to grab the checkers for the 2nd feature. Windrow had a nice run to finish off a great night in 2nd, Taylor was 3rd, Barcomb 4th and Corliss 5th. That tighten up the point battle as Ambroceo and Windrow are in a dead heat with Corliss only behind by 1 point. Savary is 26 out, with Barcomb 28 out.
