Series Competitors Prepare for Short Track after Tackling Syracuse’s “Moody Mile”
BROCKVILLE, ONTARIO – Oct. 11, 2012 – The Thousand Islands RV Fall Nationals gets ready to roll this weekend, Friday, Oct. 12, through Sunday, Oct. 14, at Brockville Ontario Speedway, as three DIRTcar Northeast traveling tours come to a close, and one, the Super DIRTcar Series, gears up for Peak Motor Oil World of Outlaws World Finals Presented by NAPA Auto Parts in November.
The Pro Stock Series takes to Brockville’s quarter-mile Friday, the 358-Modified Series Saturday, and the Sportsman Modified and Super DIRTcar Series Sunday. Just coming off of NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week in Syracuse, competitors in all four series are ramping up their short-track game after just having spent a week on the longest track they will face this season, the “Moody Mile” at the New York State Fairgrounds.
“We went from the biggest track we run on all year to probably one of the smallest,” said Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modified driver Jimmy Phelps, currently second in points for the series. “We’re going to have to try and get ourselves into the short track mode again in a hurry.”
In addition to hoping for an opportunity to challenge point leader Matt Sheppard at Sunday’s race, Phelps is also looking forward to putting on a good race for the fans at Brockville Ontario Speedway.
“The fans are great up there and it’s typically a pretty fun place to race,” Phelps said. “It’s small, it’s tight, it’s a bull ring. When the track’s racy, with short tracks like that, they’re fun to race on.”
