For Immediate Release

6/7/2021

On a hot and humid night, anything is possible. When the sun went down and the dust all settled, it was Tony Farone taking home the win in the DIRTcar Racing 602 Crate Sportsman while Beau Ballard continued his hot streak by dominating the DIRTcar Racing Pro-Stock feature and Chris Mayton took home the win in the first Wheels of Fury Enduro Series race of the season.

The Red Chair DIRTcar 602 Crate Sportsman would be led to green by Travis Green & Tony Farone. Green would be quick to take away the top spot while Farone was right at Green’s back bumper if he were to slip up. Meanwhile, Andrew Buff was chomping at the bit as he began to look to take away the number two spot from Farone. A Lap 15 yellow would jumble the field back up and Green began to pull away by a car length or so more than the previous green flag run. A three car accident involving Ricky Quick, Al McCoy and Bill August set up one more restart. This time, Farone got a good restart and took the lead out of turn two and wouldn’t give it up as “The Onion” picked up win one on the 2021 season. Travis Green would be forced to settle for second while Andrew Buff, Ron Proctor and Justin Buff completed the top five.

The Yurkewecz Auto Crushers Prostock Feature became a hairy one fast. Beau Ballard and Jay Fitzgerald led the field to green. However, on the opening lap, a multi car incident would bring the field to a red flag. Cousin Luke Horning got the worst of it as he had all four tires off the ground in a violent wreck. All drivers would walk away ok. On the restart, Ballard pulled away and proceeded to put on a clinic as he had half a track on second place by the time the checkered flag flew as he picked up win number two on the season. Chuck McSpirit would come home second while Ken Griffin, Andy Graves and Buck Gasner completed the top five.

Kenny Allen and Wayne Gaige set the pace in the street stocks. Allen wrestled away the lead but it wouldn’t be long before Allen had company behind him as the 24v of Jason Samrov was coming in a hurry. On Lap six, contact was made between the two in a racing incident and Samrov ended up facing the wrong way forcing a yellow flag. Allen would take the lead again off the restart but the 91 of Matt Mosher began to look to Allens outside and completed the pass for the lead on lap 11. Just two laps later, Allen slowed on the backstretch with a flat tire forcing the final caution of the night. On the restart, Mosher proceeded to pull away for win number two on the season as he also grew his points lead. Jason Samrov rallied for a runner up finish while his brother Josh Samrov finished right behind him in third.

Zach Buff & Brock Pinkerous led the limited sportsman field to green for their 20 lap feature and Buff picked up where he left off from the first two weeks. It seemed as if the race would be green to checkers until five to go when the 07 of Taylor Wason went around in turn two. However, it didn’t seem to matter as Buff took home win number three on the year. Pinkerous would come home second while Tommy D'Angelo came home third, Cousin Luke Horning (Yes, you read that right) would come home fourth in his open wheel season debut and Taylor Wason recovered to complete the top five.

In the Mini stocks, PJ Bleau made an impromptu visit to the Ridge and came away with a win in the dual cams. Meanwhile Dale VanAllen went back to back in the single cams.

Nasty Nick Auspelmyer and Danny Ballard led the All Star Slingshot field to green for their feature. It wouldn’t take long as the defending track champion took away the top spot and never looked back as in a green to checkers race, Danny Ballard picked up his first win in 2021. Brock Pinkerous would come home second, while Nick Auspelmyer came home third, Hayden Coons picked up the fourth spot and Jim Pollard beat Adam Fusco to the line to complete the top five.

Lucas Duncan made the most of his outside pole starting position for the Jr slingshot feature as he pulled away in convincing fashion to take home win number one on the 2021 campaign at the Ridge. Sloan Cherko had to settle for second while Cole Conrad, Hayden Ackernecht and Corky Warner rounded out the top five.

For the Wheels of Fury Enduro Series, Chris Mayton took home the win. Ron Tollner and Nate Trombley completed the top three.

The biggest night in the history of the Glen Ridge Motorsports Park undoubtedly took place way back on June 25th of 2010. Track records were broken on the dirt, the pits and in the bleachers! The ‘Ridge’ promoters have inked a deal that will bring the famous Empire Super Sprints back to the Fastest ¼ Mile on Dirt in 2021!

Lance Young picked up the win in the inaugural event back in 2010 over Jessica Zemken Friesen, NASCAR cup champion Tony Stewart, Bobby Varin and the ‘Cobra’ Chuck Hebing. Stewart set the fastest lap in any car that night as well.

The group returned in 2011 with Bobby Varin, the track’s modified wins leader, picked up the E.S.S. win over Hebing (who set the fastest lap ever recorded at the track in an Empire Super Sprint), Kevin Ward, Cory Sparks and Racin’ Jason Barney. Varin also won the modified feature that night!

This year on August 8th, 2021 the winged warriors make their return to the Montgomery County racetrack for what will be a furious battle on the hill! To be part of this event, or others at the Ridge, feel free to message us today and join our family of sponsors and supporters!
