“Get Well Soon Dave Cliff:” Saturday’s J&S Paving 350 Supermodified ‘Clash for Cliff’ Pays $2,050 to Win in Support of Barbeau Racing
OSWEGO, NY (May 21, 2024) – Oswego Speedway will honor longtime supporters Dave Cliff and Tim Barbeau by making the 350 Supermodified Season Opener this Saturday night, May 25, a special ‘Clash for Cliff’ with a $2,050 prize for the winner.
This gesture comes as Oswego Speedway rallies behind Cliff, who was injured in an open practice crash last weekend, and the $2,050 prize holds special significance as it’s a nod to Barbeau’s longtime car number, 50.
Cliff, a three-time SBS champion, moved to the 350 Super ranks full-time in 2021, driving for Barbeau. Since then, Cliff has secured three feature wins piloting a 350 Super, including two victories last season under Barbeau’s team.
Sadly, Cliff sustained four fractured vertebrae in the crash last weekend, which will require a few months of recovery.
Track owner John Torrese expressed the Speedway’s sentiments: “We can’t wait to see Dave Cliff back on the track soon. Despite the number 50 not racing in the opener, we wanted to do just a little something to honor the longtime support of Oswego Speedway by Dave Cliff and Tim Barbeau. By making the feature pay $2,050 to win, we hope to show our appreciation and send our best wishes for Dave’s speedy recovery.”
Oswego Speedway’s 73rd season opens Saturday, May 25th, with the 75-lap Jim Shampine Memorial for Novelis Supermodifieds, 35-lap Tony White Memorial for Pathfinder Bank SBS, and the 30-lap ‘Clash for Cliff’ for the J&S Paving 350 Supers.
Fans can catch another Open Practice session on Friday, May 24th from 6 to 10 PM, with free grandstand admission.
