Story By: JOHN SNYDER / ORANGE COUNTY FAIR SPEEDWAY – MIDDLETOWN, NY – With the Sunday, August 4 second race meet of The Big Series, the Joey Falanga Memorial Night, at Middletown, New York’s Orange County Fair Speedway just days away, co-promoters Doug Dulgarian and Brett Hearn are pleased to report that the event’s basic purse will be boosted by several bonus awards.
“We had great support for our June race, and that’s also going to be the case this time around,” said Dulgarian. “Hoosier Racing Tires has contributed to the Bonus Awards. Recognizing the 105th Anniversary of racing at the historic fairgrounds, Hoosier will award the tenth- and fifth-place finishers in both the Modified and Sportsman feature races a certificate for an appropriate Hoosier Racing tire.”
Following the same format as the previous event, the program includes a Modified division “Last Chance” race for non-qualifiers with the winner having to choose between a cash prize or the final starting spot in the 30-lap feature race.
In the June race, winner Chris Shultz chose the money, $500, with netted runner-up Gary Edwards III the feature starting spot. It remains to be seen what will happen this time around.
The fast-paced August 4 program includes qualifying races for all three divisions—Modified, Sportsman, and Street Stocks—with a redraw among the top heat races finishers for feature race starting positions. Following all qualifying, the Modified feature will be held first.
Spectator and pits gates for Joey Falanga Memorial Night will open at 3:00 pm. Fans are urged to come out early and enjoy the music of Iron Cobra playing on the outdoor stage from 3:00-5:00 pm. Race cars will be on the track approximately 5:00 pm.
