Can Am results for July 21st
LAFARGEVILLE, NY: It was one of those nights at the Can Am Motorsports Park on Saturday night. There were only two official winners of features, being Adam Moore of Elgin, Ontario claiming his first Sportsman feature ever at Can Am and the veteran Larry Bezner claiming another IMCA modified win. There was no winner declared in the 358 race as the results are under review and won’t be posted until the first part of the week. There were problems with a couple of cars that management wants to confer with DIRT Headquarters about before posting the official finish. The Pure Stock feature was called off after two laps due to dust problems and will be the first race run this coming week.
As mentioned, Adam Moore was able to win his first Sportsman feature ever at Can Am and used his pole position starting spot to his advantage in doing so. Steve Rickett gave the green flag to 22 Sportsman and Moore asserted himself early as the car to beat. Anthony Fiorentino had his car working well with former feature winners Lance Willix, Scott MacCue and Bill Plooy all trying to reel in the Canadian driver from Elgin, Ontario. Only one caution interrupted the race when Donnie Wetmore, Jr. slowed with problems on the 13th lap. Moore was able to hold on to his lead and went on for the win followed by Lance Willix III from Theresa, Watertown’s Anthony Fiorentino, Scott MacCue from Castorland and Bill Plooy from Brockville, Ontario.
The DIRT 358 race was run, but no official results can be posted at this time. If the results can be added, every effort will be made to get them posted in the press.
Track management regrets the inconvenience, but wants to try to be fair to everyone involved.
Twenty-four Pure Stocks came out for the final feature of the night. The 90-degree weather of the day had taken its toll on the track, and after two laps the race was stopped and postponed until this coming week. The race will be picked up where the yellow came out and completed at that point. It will be the first race run this week and then revert to the regular racing program, which will be sponsored by Security Supply and Route 37 Building Supply. Also on the program will be the fan popular one-on-one spectator racing, where you can test your skills in your own vehicle around the Can Am oval. All four classes will be in action. The back gate opens at four, the main gate at five and Starter Steve Rickett unfurls the green flag at seven p.m. sharp. There is always plenty of free parking and camping on the grounds. Can Am Motorsports Park is located just four miles west on State Route 411 off Exit 49 of Interstate 81.
