Adam McAuliffe started the event in the third positon and was right on Calabrese’s rear bumper for the entire first lap before taking the lead on lap two on the outside of turns three and four. Hanaburgh’s nephew Garrett was the honorary starter for the 50-lap “Grand Daddy” sportsman event with Brian Calabrese the early leader from his pole position start. A great act of kindness by the Palmer’s and Varin that won’t soon be forgotten. In a special moment on victory lane after the feature event was completed, car owners Carole and Alton Palmer along with Varin donated their winnings from the evening to Allison Ricci who also competed in the evenings feature event, for the charity that she races to bring awareness to, which is the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation. Make no mistake about it though, to call McAuliffe an invader to Fonda Speedway is a mistake as he has turned many laps at the “Track of Champions” and knows the track pretty well because of it.Īlso on the racing card on Wednesday evening were the 358-modifieds with Bobby Varin taking home the victory. It was the second time this season that McAuliffe came into the Fonda Speedway as an “invader” of sorts as he doesn’t compete at Fonda on a weekly basis, and took home the sportsman feature win.
