SYRACUSE, NY – It’s a twin bill weekend for the 35th Anniversary Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS). This Friday night will be the second of three appearances at the Can-Am Speedway and then on Sunday the winged warriors will make their first showing of 2018 at the Weedsport Speedway.
Both events will pay $2,000 to win and $300 to start. Not only will points be awarded for the overall Lucas Oil Championship, but also for the NAPA Auto Parts US Tour and the E&V Energy I90/I81 Series.
Jason Barney continues to lead the 2018 ESS title fight over Coleman Gulick and the winner of the last event at Land of Legends in Steve Poirier. Joining the front three will be fourth placeman in points and is closing in, Matt Tanner. The rest of the top ten in points are made up of Paulie Colagiovanni, Mike Mahaney, Matt Billings, Billy VanInwegen, Shawn Donath and Danny Varin. All these top runners will be at each event.
Other sprints that are expected will Paul Kinney, Chuck Hebing, Jeff Cook, Chad Miller, Dave Axton, Jonathan Preston, Kelly Hebing, Brett Wright, Scott Holcomb, Josh Flint and more.
