For the second race in a row Otto Sitterly parked his Nicotra Racing Supermodified on the front stretch at Oswego Speedway. This time however, Sitterly climbed out of the No. 7 as a five-time champion of the prestigious 75-lap Jim Shampine Memorial event.
The old saying, “It aint over till it’s over,” held true Saturday night at the Fulton Speedway in the Tracey Road Equipment Big Block Modifieds.

Jason Simmons has been racing around Oswego Speedway for seven years and Saturday night he finally took his D&S Landscaping No. 98 machine to Turning Stone Resort Casino Victory Lane at the ‘Steel Palace’ as a part of the Helena Chemical Company Memorial Day Weekend ‘Triple-Header.’
