Story By: ORANGE COUNTY FAIR SPEEDWAY – MIDDLETOWN, NY – Though the start of the 2020 racing season at OCFS has already been affected by the COVID-19 virus with the cancellation of the Motorsports Show, teams and drivers are being named for the United Rentals Big Block Modified Roster.

A number of drivers OCFS fans have come to expect at special events like the Super DIRT Series races or Eastern States Weekend will now call OCFS their weekly home. Tyler Dippel, Matt Sheppard, Ryan Krachun and Mike Mahaney will all be full-time, competing for the 2020 United Rentals Big Block Modified Championship.
Two familiar names from the ranks of the sportsman division at OCFS, John Brown and John Illanovsky have also registered to compete with the United Rentals Big Block Modifieds in 2020.
