After an exciting season, the 2019 Race of Champions family of Series will crown six champions as part of the 69th Annual Presque Isle Downs & Casino Race of Champions Weekend at Lake Erie Speedway.
Four of the six championships have different contenders that can take home the championship.
In the Race of Champions Modified Series, Andy Jankowiak of Buffalo, N.Y., holds the top spot by 2 markers over Patrick Emerling of Orchard Park, N.Y., heading into Saturday’s 250-lap event that will pay the winner $12,500.
“We are looking forward to a busy weekend,” stated Emerling. “We’ve got a long going on but it would really good to win our second Race of Champions series title. Andy (Jankowiak) has led it for most of the season but we’ve been able to get closer. We are looking forward to giving it our all at Lake Erie on Saturday.”
The Asphalt Sportsman (Chuck Hossfeld and Daryl Lewis, Jr.); Late Model (Terry Weldy and Eldon King, III); TQ Midgets (Jankowiak and Kyle Hutchinson) and the Four Cylinder Dash Series (Jacob Gustafson and Bob Bogner) all have to settle their individual championship chases.
Tom Barron of Ontario, N.Y., currently leads the Super Stock Series by 72 over Joe Mancuso of Buffalo, N.Y., the defending series champion. It would be Barron’s first series championship.
