Kevin Lewis held off a pair of veterans in the final laps of Friday night’s season opening 30-lap SST Modified feature and won the first race of the season at Wyoming County International Speedway (WCIS) in Perry, NY on Friday night.

Steve Fuchs took the lead at the start of the feature event, with Lewis falling into the runnerup spot. Lewis was able to find the open door on the inside lane on lap 6 to power into the race lead. Lewis had opened up a solid gap until the caution flew on lap 13 when Daniel Majchrzak spun in turn four. On the restart, Lewis had the advantage over a solid battle for second between Dick Kluth and Dan Hoag. Kluth, who had sustained damage in a heat race crash, held off repeated challenges from Hoag as Lewis stretched out his lead in the closing laps. At the finish, Lewis was the winner, with Kluth and and Hoag trailing. Majchrzak and Fuchs rounded out the top five.

SST Modifed heat races were won by Lewis and Mike Marollo.

The 25-lap Super Stock race was dominated in the opening segment by Austin Fugle, who pulled out a substantial margin over Dan Majchrzak in the first segment of the race. While Fugle was on cruise control up front, Alan Bookmiller was on a charge from the back of the pack, using the low lane to move into the top five. Majchrzak and Fugle swapped the lead once on a lap 9 restart, but Bookmiller inserted himself into the battle, taking second on lap 14 and moving past Fugle for the lead two laps later. Bookmiller’s efforts were rewarded with an opening night feature win, followed by Fugue and Majchrzak. There was a dead heat for fourth place at the finish between Anthony Kelly and Cassie Logsdon.

Super Stock heats were won by Don Greek and Austin Fugle.

The 20-lap 4 Cylinder feature was a wild affair that saw Tom Lalomia Jr. in the midst of a hectic battle for the lead that included Mike Bradshaw and Bob Woch. Defending track champion Eric Hastreiter also moved into the lead group near the halfway point. Several cautions and restarts shuffled the deck, and as the feature moved into the final laps, Lalomia and Hastreiter battled hard for the lead. Lalomia held on for the win and pulled into victory lane with a flat left front tire, which had slowly been losing air pressure through the whole race. Hastreiter was followed by Christine Hanel, who made a pass on Kevin Grom for third in the late going and was right behind the leaders at the checkers. Val Stephens rounded out the top five finishers.

4 Cylinder heats were won by Tom Lalomia Jr. and Christine Hanel.

The ‘new’ comes with the first Sprint Car Exhibition of the 2013 season at the 1/3 mile paved oval. “We have set five exposition dates at Wyoming County Speedway for this season to draw interest from the fans and drivers," said George Quintana. “The rules will be open to any type of engine and open to both dirt and pavement cars. This will make it easier for the dirt teams to give it a try or for anyone to put an engine in an inexpensive roller. The main intention is to make wing sprint cars a full time class in 2014. The rules will be set in place at that time to fit the local demographics.”

In addition to the Sprint Car Exhibition, the SST Modifieds and Super Stocks will have a regular racing program at “The Bullring”, while the 4 Cylinders contest the first leg of the WCIS/Raceway 5 Dirt Vs. Asphalt Challenge. Drivers from Raceway 5 in Batavia will take on the WCIS 4 Cylinder regulars on their home turf in the first of these challenge events. The Vintage Late Models and a Tire Rolling Contest at intermission complete an exciting night of racing activities.
