Crate Sportsman Added To Chemung Speedrome
Sunday Events
By: John Flock
Ajay Potrzebowski, Casey Pavlick and
Chris Brockway were all smiles after their
first asphalt race of 2012. All three say
they will run on Sundays at Chemung. When
the field grows to ten or more cars, the
winner will take home a $500 payday.
Chris Brockway said, “I wasn’t having much luck or fun this year before
today. I had a blast at Chemung and plan to
be back every week.”
Casey Pavlick, an early proponent of these Crate Sportsman events, was
pleased after the race. “I thought I could
run with Ajay (Potrzebowski), but he got
away from me. I have to learn to manage my
tires better. I’ll be back!”
Winner Ajay Potrzebowski was all smiles in victory lane. “I can’t come
back next week because my kids are into
their final go kart events. My car will be
here with one of the crew turning the wheel
next week. I don’t expect disaster, but I
would not be surprised if it took a
roll-back truck to get it home!”
Track owners Bob Stapleton and John White were very pleased with the
race. They have added the Crate Sportsman
division to weekly Sunday afternoon
programs. “We expect the car count to grow
as the word circulates of these events. Fans
were excited with the dirt-track racers
sliding through the turns and carrying their
left front tires high in the air.”
Chemung Speedrome is located off Route 17 (now I-86) exit 59. Practice
begins at 1:00 p.m. and racing begins at
2:15. For information, see
