PUTNEY’S HEARTBREAK ALLOWS CHRISTOPHER TO WIN FIRST CAREER OSWEGO & RoC FEATURE BY INCHES OVER HIRSCHMAN

BY JR KENNERUP

    OSWEGO, NY - Saturday night at the Oswego Speedway in the Modified portion of the Port City 150 that was sponsored by Parts Plus and Gater Racing News. Billy Putney of Easy Aurora, NY was on his way to a very special win in the Richie Evans Memorial if it was a 72 lap race.

Unfortunately for Putney the race was 75 laps in length as during a yellow flag period on the 72^nd lap a bolt holding the right front brake caliper came out. The result was the brake caliper moving and jamming itself inside the right front rim and this locked the right front up completely and Putney had to pit and retire from the race.

The heartbreak suffered by Putney was gladly accepted by Ted Christopher of Plainville, CT who inherited the lead. Christopher driving a car prepared and owned by Terry Zacharias of Candor, NY knew the last three laps were going to be tough. As defending RoC Champion Matt Hirschman of Northampton, Pa. was now in second and Matt who was undefeated at Oswego in 2008 was looking to keep his streak intact. Click here for full story.
