Patison bids for third straight Modified
win at Orange Show Speedway
SAN BERNARDINO (June 9, 2007) – Jason Patison
said he has a fondness at Orange Show Speedway, where he won two races
and finished second in the ASA Modified standings last year. He’ll
feel even better about the ASA-sanctioned quarter-mile if he’s
able to celebrate his return with a win in the 75-lap Lucas Oil ASA
Modified Series main event on Saturday (June 9).
“I’ve
always liked racing here,” Patison said Friday night during an
open practice at the track at the National Orange Show Events Center
. “The corners are tight, but these cars are light and they’ll
rotate through (the apex of) the corner pretty well. The track is tight
and it’s a little hard to pass. We can’t bump at all because
we don’t have any fenders.”
Saturday’s race will be the third of nine for
the touring series and in the first two, at Lucas Oil I-10 Speedway
in Blythe and Havasu 95 Speedway in Lake Havasu City , Ariz. , Patison
hasn’t had to pass anyone. He’s started both events on the
pole and won both in his Lucas Oil-sponsored entry to take the early
points lead in the series.
There were 16 Modifieds on hand for the open practice
and about 30 are expected on Saturday, when the BSR West Late Models,
Lucas Oil Outlaw Figure 8s and Leno’s Rico Taco Legends Cars also
will be in action beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The scale-model, Yamaha-powered Legends Cars will
be racing for the second time in two days. Friday, they ran a crash-filled
30-lap main event won by Chad Schug, 20, of Oak Hills over older brother
Ryan Schug, 26, of Hemet . Chad Schug inherited the lead on lap 19 after
Bree Brewer and Darren Amidon got together on the back straightaway
while contesting first place.
