Story By: DAN KAPUSCINSKI / TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES – OSWEGO, NY – With Budweiser International Classic Weekend at Oswego Speedway on the horizon, TCCS front runners Dave Shullick Jr, Michael Muldoon, and Jeff Abold are looking to carry recent momentum into the richest Supermodified race in the world – the Budweiser International Classic 200.
Over the weekend at Oswego, Shullick and Abold ended their non-wing regular season on high notes, with Shullick claiming his first Oswego track championship, and Abold scoring his first victory of the season at The Steel Palace.
Driving the John Nicotra Racing No. 2, Shullick scored four wins on the season at Oswego including three triumphs in TCCS events, which helped him gain an early lead in the Bentley Warren Driver of the Year standings.
Now a winner of MSA, ISMA, and Oswego championships; all that remains on the plate for ‘Shoe 2’ is a win in the International Classic, a race he nearly conquered just one year ago before handing the lead to Abold on the final lap, out of fuel.
Abold has come on strong in recent weeks at the Port City oval and put it all together on Saturday night as he visited Turning Stone Resort Casino Victory Lane in the Team Abold Racing No. 05.
With strong runs at Sandusky Speedway in ISMA action last month, Abold now looks to defend his Classic crown and take control of the TCCS standings before finishing the season at the Star Speedway Classic, an event he has shown well at for several seasons.
The team Abold is looking to chase down for the $6,000 top prize in the Jim Shampine Supermodified of the Year standings is Mike Muldoon Racing with driver Michael Muldoon.
Focusing on wing racing the last month, Muldoon surprised the ISMA contingent with a victory in the Ollie Silva Classic at Lee Speedway on August 11, becoming the first driver since Bob Bond in 2010 to win wing and non-wing races in the same season, with the same race car.
With the Oswego Classic next, Muldoon trails Shullick by 85-points in the driver championship and leads Abold by 75-points in the car championship.
Last year Muldoon sat on pole position for the Classic, coming home with a 6th place finish.
At least five other TCCS teams and six other TCCS drivers are also expected to be in action for the 200 on Sunday, September 3 as they compete for over $25,000 in TCCS point money and a share of the more than $75,000 Classic purse.
