29th ANNUAL TRIBUTE TO TOMMY DRUAR / TONY JANKOWIAK 110 UP NEXT FOR THE RACE OF CHAMPIONS ASPHALT MODIFIED SERIES
The Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Series will visit Lancaster (N.Y.) National Speedway this Saturday night for the 29th Annual Tribute to Tommy Druar and Tony Jankowiak 110. It will be the fourth visit of the season for the Series during the 2018 campaign. The 110-lap race will be the first race of the season to offer infield pitting at Lancaster.
To date there have been three different winners at Lancaster; Patrick Emerling of Orchard Park, N.Y., in May, Chuck Hossfeld of Ransomville, N.Y., in June and Mike Leaty of Williamson, N.Y., in early August.
Last season, George Skora, III, of Eden, N.Y., captured his first-ever Race of Champions Modified Series victory in this event and this past Saturday, Skora, took home the checkered flag in Lancaster’s Sportsman Modified division.
“This is a big night for all of us,” offered Skora. “We are there to race, but we are also honoring two great racers and their legacies, as well as having all of their families, friends and fans present. It’s always a great turnout and great atmosphere. We are really looking forward to it. I think we are back on track with things and hopefully we’ll be in contention once again when it matters.”
