McKean County Raceway Celebrates St. Judes Foundation Saturday Night
East Smethport, PA (June 18, 2014) The NDRL’s McKean County Raceway will be back in action this Saturday night with a “Super 6” show along with donations being accepted for St Jude’s Children Hospital. No child is denied treatment at St Judes Children Research Hospital in Memphis TN. It’s not just a race night at MCR , it is Saint Jude Night at MCR!
Max Blair picked up his second consecutive win in the super late model division. Greg Oakes of Franklinville still holds the point lead despite not winning an event yet. David Scott of Garland sits four points behind Oakes with Brent Rhebergen of Clymer just ten points behind Scott going into this week’s event.
Bemis Point NY racer, Chad Ruhlman has dominated the RUSH Crate Late Models weekly division at MCR. Ruhlman raced his way to his fifth win of the year and the third time from ninth last week. The Terry Suppa and Brad Nolte prepared Rayburn chassis will again find themselves starting in the ninth place this week; will he pick up his sixth win of the year? Bobby Rohrer of Erie, PA sits second in points just two markers ahead of Damien Bidwell of Eldred. Rohrer is looking for his first win of the year while Bidwell has one win on the season. Veteran Ward Schell of Warren, PA driving the famous Ron Baker #74 sits fourth in points just six points ahead of Dave Shagla.
Vic Vena of Portville grabbed his first win of the year last weekend in the Close Racing Supply Modifieds. The win propelled Vena to the top of the point chart over Randy Hall and John Woodward Jr. Hall and Woodward have two wins each on the season. John Boardman of Jamestown sits fourth in points just six marks ahead of former MCR champion and 43 year veteran Al Brewer of Belfast. Brewer coming off his best finish in years last week will no doubt be looking to find victory lane this week.
Wellsville’s, Kurt Stebbins entered last week in a three way tie for the point lead and with his win in the Highway Auto Sales Stock Car division he sits solely on top with a six point lead over Rich Wotjowicz, who is still looking for his first win of the year.
