The Race of Champions Tribute to “Pops” Leaty 75 for the Asphalt Modified Series in their only visit of 2018 to the historic Williamson, N.Y., oval. Last season, Patrick Emerling of Orchard Park, N.Y., won in both Series appearances at Spencer.
“We’re definitely looking forward to Friday night,” stated Emerling. “It’s going to be a good show. I like Spencer, it’s a challenging race track and it definitely makes you get the elbows up and drive your racecar. The competition in this series is tough and it won’t be any different on Friday night, we hope to see everyone there.”
