The old racing saying, “High-Wide And Handsome” applied to Mike Mahaney Saturday night at the Fulton Speedway. Mahaney back behind the wheel of his family owned Big Blocked Modified  took the lead on lap 7, and then held off 2012 Track Champion Billy Decker, riding the cushion on a wicked fast surface.

In 2002, Timmy Jedrzejek drove the May 77 to a flag to flag victory at Oswego’s ISMA Super Nationals on Classic weekend. Then he came back in 2009 for a second win in the car that almost beat him Saturday. But, this third victory, in the Soule Racing 32 was probably the most exciting of the three.

There’s a first for everything.  More true words could not have been spoken after Saturday night’s 19th annual Bud Light SBS Classic 60 at Oswego Speedway, which saw Cameron Rowe pull into Chris Nelson Insurance Victory Lane with his first career triumph in the marquee event worth $2,200.

Of the 37 Novelis Supermodifieds to take time, 24 clocked in under the 17-second bracket, the most in history.  When it was all said and done Oswego native Pat Lavery, in the Double Deuce Racing No. 22, stood above the rest with a lap of 16.242 seconds, and will lead the field to green on Sunday.
