ASCS Patriots Return to Canandaigua Saturday
Rich
Vleck, TULSA, Okla. (June 1, 2008)- If you were to
ask Patriot drivers their first track, a number
would say Canandaigua. Proximity, speed and racing
surface are just some of those reasons why drivers
like Chuck Hebing and George Suprick live for races
at the “Land of Legends”.
The
Patriots make their only stop at their second-most
frequented facility this Saturday to play host to
the third full-point race of the 2008 season. This
race will also be the first A-Main of the season for
the A-Verdi Storage Containers King of Central New

Justin Haers Leads

Victory Lane
Weedsport,
NY – May 18, 2008 – By:
Dan
Kapuscinski, Canandaigua Speedway PR and Promotions
Coordinator
Canandaigua Speedway had not treated Justin Haers
very well in the early part of the season. Finishes
of 18th and 17th in the
opening two events were certainly not characteristic
results for the Phelps Cement Products no. 3.
However, Saturday May, 17 on Race against
Drugs/Fireman Appreciation Night at the Races, Haers
used his front row starting position to his
advantage leading all 35-laps on the way to
victory. Haers’ second career Canandaigua Speedway
win was worth $1,500, but more importantly a
confidence boost for the Phelps, NY pilot.
