SYRACUSE, NY – After a well deserved weekend off, the stars and cars from the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS) are ready for a busy August and it all starts this Friday for “Mohawk Madness” at the Mohawk International Raceway. Mohawk Racing Parts is sponsoring the lucrative A-Main that pays $2,500 to win, $1,500 for second and $1,000 for third.
To make this visit even more important is that not only does it count towards the overall Lucas Oil championship but also the Northwood 2 Construction/LaSalle Motorsports Canadian Sprint Car Series and also the SUNY canton Series. Leading both the Lucas and SUNY Canton points is defending champion Justin Barger while the “Cobra” Chuck Hebing is atop the Canadian points.
These two will be in the pits at the ultra-modern facility along with a pair of two-time champions Lance Yonge and Steve Poirier as well as Dan Kaszubinski, local favorites Jeff Cook and Brian McDonald, Alain Bergeron, Tommy Wickham, Michael Parent, Kevin Ward Jr., Mike Stelter, Anthony Cain, Lee Ladouceur, James Hanson, Shawn Donath, Chris Jones, Devon Caron, Zach Weigand, Jami Russell, Tyler Rand, Normand Beaudreault, Paul Pekkonen, Mark Zemcik and others.
C&B Enterprises brings you the Cobra Coaches Dash Series event in what will be an exciting night of winged sprint car action. The point races are some of the closest in the 28 year history of ESS and the fans will be rewarded with some mud slinging action on the 3/8ths mile oval.
Mohawk International Raceway, the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints…a whole boat load of money and it’s called “Mohawk Madness”! It’s going to be excitement guaranteed!
