The Oswego State women’s and men’s ice hockey teams will have their first contests of the 2018-19 season on Saturday in exhibition games in the Marano Campus Center Arena. Oswego’s women will faceoff with the London Jr. Devilettes at 3 p.m. prior to the men hosting Nazareth College at 7 p.m. for Residence Hall Night.

We had several close sets in pool play and went into the silver division where we started with Bishop Ludden in the semi-final match and beat them two sets to none and with that win put us into the silver championship match with South Seneca.

Five years ago, champion non-wing Supermodified car owner John Nicotra and ISMA Supermodified champion Dave Shullick Jr. worked out a partnership with Jim Bodnar and Otto Sitterly that has since helped shape some of the key components of both Sitterly and Shullick’s Supermodified driving careers.

With only one Supermodified event remaining in the northeast this season before the dreaded snow and cold hits, a handful of Oswego Speedway’s weekly competitors will be joining the stout field of ISMA Supermodifieds set to compete at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park’s ‘World Series’ this weekend.

Gypsum Racing driver Lightning Larry Wight pulled off a late-race pass on veteran driver Jimmy Phelps and held off the five-time NAPA Super DIRT Week Champion Stewart Friesen for the $50,000 pay day.

The NAPA Super DIRT Week DIRTcar Pro Stock 50 ended on Sunday with a drag race to the finish after C.D. Beauchamp gave leader Chuck Dumblewski a tap off turn four to conclude a 50-lap battle a mere .017 seconds ahead. The competition heated up on Saturday afternoon with Time Trials as Fonda Speedway regulars Dumblewski and Josh Coonradt laid down a pair of Fast Times, only .008 seconds apart from each other, to set themselves on the front row for Sunday’s feature event.

It is not unusual to have the International Supermodified Series season title to go down to the wire, but this year’s chase is a little different. There are two relatively new names on top of the leaderboard. Epping, NH’s Dan Bowes sits just 16 points ahead of Bartlett, TN’s Kyle Edwards; neither of them has ever won an ISMA championship and both have just this season logged in their first career ISMA feature wins.
