This Friday’s Race of Champions Modified Series Billy Whittaker Ford “F-50” 50-lap $5,000-to-win race at Spencer Speedway in Williamson, N.Y., will serve as “The Prelude” to the $10,000-to-win Maynard Troyer Classic IV set to take place on Friday, September 1.

Each race has become highlighted on the calendar for Modified racers throughout the region.

Through the efforts of Kenny Troyer, Maynard Troyer’s son, F/A Products and friends, this year’s edition of the Maynard Troyer Classic IV will pay $10,000-to-win and a minimum of $750-to-start, through purse and bonus money. To date, Troyer and friends have raised well over $8,600 for the September 1 event with four weeks of fundraising remaining.

In addition to everything else going on with the Race of Champions Modified Series, longtime short track racing enthusiasts have posted a fastest time award in “Green-White-Checker” qualifying. Jack and Mary Suchy have posted $100 for each fast qualifier in the remaining races and $200 for the Race of Champions 250.

This Friday, the Billy Whittaker Ford “F-50” provides teams with their final tune-up prior to the culmination of the Spencer Speedway season.
