DIRTcar Sportsman Series Invades Airborne Park This Weekend

Story By: ROBBY KNOWLES / AIRBORNE PARK SPEEDWAY – PLATTSBURGH, NY – The final regular racing weekend is upon us and it will take the green flag at 2 p.m. on Sunday at Airborne Park Speedway.

The DIRTcar Sportsman North Series will invade the track to compete in a 50-lap main event. A strong field of Sportsman drivers from Quebec, Ontario and northeast New York are expected and will battle for a starting spot in the 30-car field.

In addition, the 358-Modifieds will race in the 30-lap Leon Gonyo Memorial race. Gonyo was a long-time competitor at Airborne along with a number of other tracks in the northeast. Gonyo’s heart was with dirt racing and we are glad to have a dirt race in his memory.

Point battles will wrap up on Sunday for the Poirier’s True Value Renegades, Busch Beer Mini-Mods and Strictly Stocks. All three of the support divisions will run heat races and feature events.

The DIRTcar Sportsman North Series will have a busy weekend as they roll into Plattsburgh. On Friday they will travel to Le RPM Speedway in Saint-Marcel, Quebec and then battle at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec on Saturday. Through three North Series races, three different winners have stepped into victory lane. Tristan Draper, Justin Lalancette and Jonathan Ferguson have found the win column with three events left to go.
