Eddie Marshall Returns to Victory Lane, Hebing Takes ESS Win

West Lebanon, NY: Another hot steamy night of racing action at the famed high banked ½ mile known as the Valley of Speed. On tap for another full night of racing action included the mighty Modifieds, the ESS Sprint Series, and a $1,000 Pro Stock ‘Bubba Tanner Classic’.

Times Union and Food Service presented the full show of events, including the 25 Lap ESS sprint series shootout. After several cautions and red flags, Chuck Hebing held on for the win. For more information and the full story, visit www.EmpireSuperSprints.com.

The mighty big block Modifieds took to the high banks for their 30 laps feature event. Out front early was the #55K of Mike King with the #16 of Kyle Hoffman. By lap 8, the #98 of veteran driver Eddie Marshall took over the top spot and began to check out of the field.

Caution flew on lap 11 for contact between Jimmy Burns #101 and the #27D of Dave McFeeters, sending McFeeters spinning into the inside front stretch wall. When the green flag flew, Marshall checked out again, this time with the other #98 of Kolby Schroder hot in tow.

Caution flew again for the #43 of Keith Flach making hard contact with the turn 3 wall, ending his night. Back at the front, Marshall was in control, Schroder was still hangin tough, and a battle was brewing for 3^rd on back.

But at the checkers, Eddie Marshall scored his first win of the season. Schroder crossed the line 2^nd, the battle for 3^rd was won by Brian Berger, with Donnie Corellis and Brett Hearn having to settle for 4^th and 5^th.

The 7^th Annual Bubba Tanner Classic Presented by DMC Racing Products brought the Pro Stocks out for their 23 Lap feature, and a cool $1,000. At the point it was Jay Casey in his familiar #322 taking early control, but the red flag flew on lap 2 for a multicar pileup at the beginning of the front stretch that saw at least 10 cars.

5 cars were done for the night, they included Jay Corbin, Milo Campbell, Rick Duzlak, Paul Rogers, and Chuck Towslee. When the green flag flew again, Casey was out front and in control.

The battle was on as Casey had plenty of company at the front with Nick Hilt Jr, Chad Jeseo, Robbie Speed and Jon Routhier all shuffling for a shock at the #322 and the win. But in the end, in true Bubba fashion, the 5 way battle finished like a hornets nest, with Casey taking home the trophy and the $1,000 payday.

Chad Jeseo had to hold on for 2^nd with Nick Hilt finishing 3^rd while Robbie Speed and Jon Routhier rounded out the top 5.

In the Purestocks, Jay Casey scored the win in PS#1, Lloyd Tomlin took the win in PS#2, and Al Relyea made a last lap pass to win PS#3.
