RACE OF CHAMPIONS MODIFIED SERIES TO CONTINUE THE TRADITION OF THE ROD SPALDING CLASSIC THIS SATURDAY AT CHEMUNG, AUGUST 10, 2024

The Race of Champions Modified Series will once again continue the tradition of running the Rod Spalding Classic again this Saturday, August 10 at the Chemung (NY) Speedrome.

Recently, the Canfield family, who are loyal supporters of the Race of Champions lost their son, Evan. Evan Canfield was just 30-years old. He is survived by his Father, Duane and his Mother, Stephanie, his brother and the entire Canfield family along with the his “racing” family that stretches throughout racing. The loss was devastating to the regions short track racing community as Canfield spearheaded social media and photography efforts for many Series and Teams, “spreading the word” for who was racing where, supporting the local tracks and sharing pertinent information, through his own “EC Media Brand”.

To help the Canfield’s in their time of need, the driver’s of the Race of Champions Series will make their way through grandstands following the qualifying races and do a “helmet pass” through the crowd. All proceeds collected will go directly to the Canfield family during their time of need.

The High as a Hawk Race of Champions Late Model Series will join the card at Chemung. This season the Late Models have impressed fans with an expanded car count with 14 cars showing up for each of the first two events on their five race calendar.

The Race of Champions FOAR SCORE Four Cylinder Dash Series will also be in action as the “RoC-In” Summer Tour continues bringing exciting events to tracks throughout the region.
