JUSTIN HOLLAND WINS SPORTSMAN 40 ROC QUALIFIER ON SATURDAY AT FIVE MILE POINT SPEEDWAY.

 

Kirkwood, NY…Saturday was the night that the Sportsman division took center stage at Five Mile Point Speedway and Justin Holland took advantage for his second victory of the season.  The win netted him $1,000 and a guaranteed starting position in this Wednesdays Race of Champions Dirt Tour event at the speedway.

 

Holland took advantage of recent bad luck as he started on the pole for the special 40 lap event.  Holland would lead the entire distance.  In the late stages Jamie Batzel closed in on Holland but was unable to make a serious bid for the victory.  Batzel started seventh. 

 

Charlie Gilbert took the lead on lap 7 and held off a late rally from Jonathon Carpenter for his fourth victory of the season in the 20 lap event.  Gilbert won by less than a car length.

 

Mike Smith made the winning pass on lap 16 over runner-up Mike Stoddard in the 20 lap IMCA Modified feature event.  For Smith it was his fourth victory of the season but his first since May 17th.

 

Racing continues this Wednesday night with the biggest event of the 2009 summer schedule.  The Race of Champions Dart Dirt Modified Tour will race in a 75 lap event paying $4,000 to the winner.  The RoC Sportsman Tour will also run in a 40 lap event paying $1,000 to win and it will be round two of three in the Colossal Cat Challenge Series.  Racing begins at 7:30 p.m.
