Inaugural Walton’s Farm and Auto Repair King of CNY Hard Charger of Season Comes to Conclusion at Cayuga County

Rich Vleck, TULSA, Okla. (October 6, 2008)- The highly popular and successful A-Verdi King of CNY Series had an extra bonus added this year to those that helped to make those events even more exciting as they would charge through the pack. Those drivers will be among those being rewarded Friday Night at Cayuga County.



Walton’s Farm and Auto Repair, of Sauquoit, NY, will reward the driver with the most positions advanced in King of CNY A-Mains from this year as the first King of Central New York Hard Charger of the Season.



Cayuga County will serve as the fourth A-Main of the year in the King of CNY series, with the events from Fulton falling to rain. While a number of the competitors on Friday have yet to even advance a spot in a 2008 King of CNY race, they still could mathematically win the championship.



Of the 51 drivers to compete in at least one A-Verdi King of CNY race this season, only 25 have finished higher than where they started in one of the three A-Mains. With such a limited schedule, every position advanced has been crucial.



Rick Wilson, of Joyceville, Ontario, leads the standings, despite missing the first King of CNY A-Main of the year. Wilson was the hard charger at CCFS in July and if he were to repeat this Friday, he would assure himself the title.



With “The Joyceville Jet” accumulating 21 points, the ability for any competitor to surpass him is still possible with 24 cars starting Friday’s 25-lap A-Main. Outside of such a improbable outcome, there are a number of drivers in a much better position to take top honor.



Bobby Breen has had a solid 2008, especially near his home in Savannah, NY. The 19-year-old sits second in the current standings, only 6 points behind Wilson.



Chuck Hebing, the 2007 ASCS Patriot Hard Charger, is again in the running with 13 advanced positions so far this year.



The Connecticut duo of Bubba Broderick and Doug Norrie round out the current top-five with 12 spots advanced each.



Hard Charger points are tabulated only in the A-Main for drivers that finish higher than where they started the event. Only positive points are given and the maximum points attainable Friday will be 23.



Walton’s Farm and Auto Repair has long been a supporter of dirt track racing in Central New York. Along with sponsoring the ASCS Patriots, they are also a major sponsor on Jason Barney’s No. 87, which was runner-up in the inaugural A-Verdi King of CNY tour last year and will likely be a contender for the lion’s share of the now $3,500 point fund established already for this year.
