Outlaw Speedway 2018 Awards Banquet Set For February 9th In Watkins Glen
Story By: KENNY SHUPP / OUTLAW SPEEDWAY – DUNDEE, NY – Outlaw Speedway owner/promoter, Tyler Siri is pleased to announce the 3rd Annual track awards banquet will once again take place at the Harbor Hotel in downtown Watkins Glen, NY.
For the third consecutive year since taking ownership of the historic Yates County oval in 2016 Siri and his staff have once again chosen the popular Harbor Hotel located on the southern tip of beautiful Seneca Lake as the host venue for the 2018 awards banquet.
Over the past several decades such establishments as the Dresden Hotel, the Dundee American Legion and the Watkins Glen Community Center have all successfully played host to the Outlaw Speedway banquets, however the Harbor Hotel has all the ingredients including overnight accommodations to make their venue a perfect fit for Outlaw Speedway.
According to track owner, Siri, “Harbor Hotel is ideal for what we are doing to honor our competitors. Ample seating for several hundred drivers, owners, fans and crew members. A huge bar area, exquisite dining as well as quality rooms for those that want to spend the night. The folks that support Outlaw Speedway deserve red carpet treatment. They sacrifice a lot during the year to race and support the track and by having the annual banquet at a 5 star facility like Harbor Hotel it is our way of showing the racers how much we appreciate their support and dedication.”
The top 10 point finishers in each of Outlaw Speedway’s regular classes of competition will be honored as well as Rookies of the year. In addition a number of other special awards will be handed out to deserving recipients.
2018 Friendly Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Modified Track Champion, AJ Slideways, Alan Johnson will find himself at the head table as he will compose a who’s who list of track champions including Chris Fisher in the 602 Crate Sportsman Division, classy Street Stock champ, Glen Whritenour as well as Doug Gross Construction top point getter, Chad Homan. The Decker Farmers Insurance 2018 IMCA Track Championship trophy will go to Will Ward with the Decker Insurance Hobby Stock track title claimed by Marc Minutolo. Second generation pilot Adam Austin picked up his first ever 4 Cylinder track title at Outlaw and last but certainly not least young gun, Adam LaBar will be honored as the track champion in the Winners Circle Deli Bandit Division.
