“My Uncle did a lot for racers around the area, and we thought it would be great to do something in his memory” commented two-time defending Krown Undercoating of Ransomville 358 Modified Champion Ryan Susice. John loved the action at tracks throughout the region and worked on the engines of several top Ransomville competitors. John passed away in February of 2017.

“John was always a huge Street Stock supporter, so it was a natural fit to have a big Street Stock race in his memory” stated Ransomville Speedway Race Director Jeff Anstett. The format of the John Susice Sr. Memorial will be a 30 lap feature with a draw to determine starting positions in the heat races and a redraw for the feature event.
