PAPIN, TYPHAIR, DUBACH, AND MCINTYRE TALLY WINS AT ADIRONDACK ON

WWTI NEWSCHANNEL 50 NIGHT

New Bremen, N.Y. – Just two races in and the competition level has reached its peak. Made possible by WWTI Newswatch 50, John Papin scored his first win of the season in the Lyndaker Excavating & Trucking ASA Challenger Late Models with the GotGoodCheese.com True Stock gold going to Chris Typhair. Tom Dubach picked up his first career D&D Powersports Sport Compact win while Lyons Falls’ Todd McIntyre brought home his second in a row in the Westward Painting Company Light Trucks.

            After finishing brides’ maid to Lee Gill in the opening day festivities John Papin took the lead on lap nine and went on for his first win of the year in the talent-driven class.  Billy Coyle snagged the lead at the drop of the green from his outside pole position and led the 50-lap affair until lap eight when he and Tommy Cloce would make contact exiting turn four. Cloce, likely with the fastest car on the track at that time spun as did Coyle and each were able to continue on at the rear of the field. During the melee Papin was given the top position with Jerry Dineen in tow.  On lap 19 Dineen’s fine performance would begin to go by the wayside as he began to be shuffled back in the running order. As the laps ticked by Gill was found on the prowl. Recovering from a lap three mishap, Gill looked to chase down that of Papin but to no avail.  Rolling on, Papin took the checkers with Gill, Bryant Trim, Cloce and Jason Herrington filling the top-five. “We hit the setup much better this week,” spoke Papin. “This win goes out to one of my faithful sponsors; Lloyd Roes, we lost a great man in Lloyd just a short while ago and the Roes family is just one of a kind. I couldn’t thank them enough for what they do,” he commented.

            Of Philadelphia (NY) Chris Typhair took the lead on lap four of the GotGoodCheese.com True Stock 20-lap event and that would be a spot he would never relinquish. Fending off tight battles from several drivers, Typhair outlasted them all, bringing his #29 Buick down to the checkers tallying his first win of the season. It was the 14^th win of the former champions’ career at AIS. Following Typhair down to the stripe was Mike Ramos recording his second runner-up finish of the year. Making up the rest of the top-five was JR Mooney, Steve Burton and after recovering from a mid-race flat tire, Tommy Markham.

            “It was a long time coming”, he quoted as he sat in victory lane. Winning the D&D Powersports Sport Compact feature going away this past Saturday night, Tom Dubach was able to mark up his first career feature win. The local resident and county sheriff, Dubach inched ahead of Rudy Widrick on a lap three restart and maintained the position solidly. With Widrick in tow, the duo put on a whale of a show for 15-laps while others did battle behind them. In the end it was all Dubach holding on for the win while Widrick, Al Brigham, Tim Ingersoll and Larry Costa completed the top-five.

            Todd McIntyre notched his second win in a row in the Westward Painting Company Light Truck division. The 2006 Track Champion took the lead from local upstart Allen Miller on lap-five and led rookie David Beyer down to the checkered flags. Filling the top-five positions were Jim Trombley, brother to Todd; Tom McIntyre and picking up his second top-five in as many weeks; Bob McCanney.

            Notes: Completed in three hours and 15 minutes the four division show was slowed by two oil spills and one red flag condition that sent Sport Compact competitor Jeremy Gracey to a local hospital. Gracey impacted the foam barriers head on and at high speed exiting turn four during the 15-lap feature event. Gracey was transported to the hospital and later released. The car was considered a write-off. John Papin and Carl Guilefuss were the week’s winners of the contingencies supplied for the ASA Challenger Late Model division. The two should bring home a near $2,000 combined in product money for being a part of the program. Next week will be headlined by a $400-to-win, 25-lap Westward Painting Company Light Truck event and Todd McIntyre will be going for the hat-trick at the biggest Light Truck payoff in the history of the division.
