Chemung Heading Back To Its Roots
.
Beginning in the 2017 season, Chemung Speedrome will return
to Saturday Night Racing under the lights. It's never an
easy decision to uproot staff and competitors and move a
venue to a new day but after a lot of consideration and
options, we feel that for the future of the track and
asphalt racing in this area, Saturday Night Racing under the
lights will grow into something special and make Chemung the
premier short track it has the potential to be. We are
looking at bigger and better things for the 2017 season and
Saturday Night racing will be our base to build on. With
Spencer Speedway keeping its Friday Night Venue, track owner
John White will be working with INEX to try and secure the
INEX sanction for Spencer to run Legends and possibly
Bandolero classes throughout the 2017 season. Change is
never easy, and for all that have supported Chemung on
Friday nights, we thank you all, employees, fans, drivers
and crews, you are all appreciated. We hope that this early
notice will allow teams and fans to make the switch to
Saturday Nights an easy one. We re looking forward to great
things in 2017 and hope you will all be a part of it.
Thank you

staff and competitors and move a venue to a new day, but

while,”....

TJ Zacharias Survives Wild Chemung Sunoco Modified Feature
by Carol Houssock
. It wasn’t all sloppy. But when the
Sunoco Modifieds, which had run a 40-lap race with just one
caution two weeks ago, hit the track it quickly got that
way. Yellow fever and some lengthy clean-ups bumped up
against the track’s curfew and cut the distance of the
Sunoco Modified feature in half. TJ Zacharias won the race,
along with Tim Gullo (Super Stocks), JP Harbst (4
Cylinders), Kevin Youngs (INEX Legends) and Bryce Bailey
(Bandoleros). There was no full moon, no black cats running
around, and nothing in the water. But a black cloud was....
