Chemung Speedrome Honors Drivers and Staff
by Carol Houssock
. Chemung Speedrome closed the books
on 2014 at their annual banquet, held at Roundin' Third
Regale in Horseheads, NY. Drivers representing the track's
six divisions were on hand, along with their family and crew
members, track employees and fans. Jimmy Zacharias picked up
his 4th Speedrome championship in the headline NASCAR Weekly
Modified division. Winner of a division-leading 6 features,
he claimed the title prior to the end of the season. But he
returned for the season-finale on September 7th to run the
71-lap Shirley Zacharias Memorial. He won the....

Chemung Speedrome Stays With Friday Night Racing
by Ray Hodge
. In an effort to help revive local
short track racing in the Southern Tier, Chemung Speedrome
owner John White had successfully worked out a deal with the
Owner/ Management of the Shang 2 Speedway in Tioga Center.
After the agreement was made, White moved forward and posted
the Chemung Speedrome 2015 schedule, which, in an effort to
work more closely together, moved the tracks' weekly racing
program from Friday nights to Saturday nights. The schedule
had been designed for the two tracks to work somewhat
together and part of the....

September 7th, 2014 Jimmy
Zacharias Wins Chemung’s Shirley Zacharias Memorial
71-Lapper
by Carol Houssock
. The sunny Sunday was filled with
memories of the late Shirley Zacharias, matriarch of the
southern tier racing family. With three grandsons in the
extra-distance 71-lap feature for the Sunoco Modifieds, she
surely looked down with pleasure – if she looked at all. She
then sent down a virtual kiss to Jimmy, who won the big
event and capped off a season at Chemung that included the
track championship. Mike Nichols won the battle (25-lap
feature) in the Super Stocks but Tim Gullo won the war and
celebrated his 2014 track championship....

Speedrome for the final Friday night this year as the

Chemung Rainout Means Some Titles Determined, Others Up For
Grabs
by Carol Houssock
. A 100% forecast of rain during race
time forced the management team at Chemung Speedrome to
cancel for just the third time this season. They made the
decision early to save teams competing on the Big 10 Super
Stock Series from needlessly making the haul. The forecast
was spot on. One less race date will not be an issue for
three drivers who clinched the 2014 titles. Jimmy Zacharias,
who will likely miss Friday’s race to run in the RoC event
at Oswego, has an insurmountable lead of 135 points. Two
perfect weeks of winning the heats and features would award
130 points....
