OSWEGO, NY (May 18, 2016) – While one round of Oswego Speedway’s Road to the Championship is already in the books, this Saturday’s $10 Fan Appreciation special at the Speedway figures to be a true homecoming for ‘Steel Palace’ fans as the current weather forecast shows a favorable high of 70-degrees with partly cloudy skies.

 

With his victory on opening night, Michael Barnes is the current Novelis Supermodified point leader with an 8-point edge on seven-time champion Otto Sitterly.

 

Barnes led all 50-laps of the Mitchell’s Speedway Press season opening event, defeating Sitterly by just under one second for his eighth career Oswego Supermodified win.

Sitterly opted to compete with his redesigned independent front suspension chassis on Saturday, while Barnes contended in his tried and true straight axle machine. This combination figures to be the same on Saturday night as the remainder of the field looks to play catch up.

 

Trailing Barnes and Sitterly in the Supermodified standings are Tim Devendorf, Aric Iosue, Michael Muldoon, Pat Lavery, Dave Gruel, Jeff Abold, Dan Connors Jr., and Dave Danzer.

 

Mike Bond picked up where he left off on the Pathfinder Bank SBS side of the pit area, leading all 30-laps of the season opening SBS main last Saturday, to stand on top of the SBS driver point standings.

Matt Magner, Kreig Heroth, Anthony Losurdo, and Dave Cliff gave Bond fits on Saturday however, and they stand as the current top five in the series championship.

 

Jack Patrick, Russ Brown, Dalton Doyle, Barry Kingsley, and Camden Proud stand in the top ten positions.
