Oswego Speedway’s Road to the Championship continued on Saturday night with Liverpool driver Kody Graham snaring the lead from Joe Gosek on lap 14 to eventually pull away to his fifth career Novelis Supermodified victory at Oswego, and the first for an independent front end machine since 2007, on Best Western PLUS/Quality Inn and Suites Riverfront Fan Appreciation Night.
The fans were in the stands and a great field of cars filled the pits setting a stage for a great night of racing. Mother Nature had other ideas just after the first heat of the evening took the checkers. Despite using a set of tillers, packer trucks and the 30 SUNY Canton Sportsman who hit the track trying to run in the surface the moisture from the sky was just enough to end the night’s racing.
Novelis Supermodifieds (50 laps): 1. 21 – Kody Graham, 2. 02 – Brandon Bellinger, 3. 7 – Otto Sitterly, 4. 68 – Michael Barnes, 5. 5 – Tim Devendorf.
