Couldn't make the open practice today in Oswego. But I followed the all day Tweets from the track. What an amazing effort they continue to make with social media and advertising. I just gets you excited. It's been a long winter and it was great the cars were finally on track. Sounds like it was a successful day for most, with Otto Sitterly topping the charts with some 16.8 laps. Don't forget to visit oswegospeedway.com for all the details and highlights from the day. As for what's in store for Breezegraphics in the new season. I continue to do as much work as I can. Unfortunately this is still a spare time operation. New cars and paint schemes this year will keep me very busy. I am still planning on introducing some new products as well. I have a few things in the works as I type this, and hope to be rolling something out soon. Please be patient with me and keep checking back. Thanks again for everybody support. And here's to a safe and amazing season at the Steel Palace.
Cya at the Track, Kevin

What a great night of racing at the Big "O" tonight! First time I've ever been there, where they had to dry the track and it never rained. During the SBS feature the 23 of Barry Kingsley took a HARD shot into the water barrels in the front stretch. Water and barrels where flying everywhere! Starter Bruce Lee sure could have used a raincoat! Barry was able to climb from the car unhurt. Bentley Warren, "The King of Supermodifieds", made his 1st race of the season getting the car ready for Classic. Ben seemed to struggle with the car all night, and never was a serious challenge having to qualify thru the consi. It was good to see him behind the wheel once again. Once again Rookie Dave Danzer had a great run going tonight in the 52, battling with the top contenders to try to get his first win. This guy has got what it takes, and I expect big things from him in the future. Keep your eye on him for sure next week and during the Classic. After a convincing win in his heat, it looked as if Dave McKnight and team had finally shook off the demons from the last couple weeks. But problems with the car in the feature, had him pulling in the pits nose first with a disappointing 22nd place finish. Joey Payne and Ray Graham Jr. also had troubles tonight and managed finishes of 19th and 23rd respectively. The points battle looks to be shaping up to be a 3 way battle going into the final points race of the season next week. Joe Gosek, Randy Ritskes, and Otto Sitterly have been racing clean and hard for every position, as I 'm sure they know how valuable each point is going into next Saturday's run for the Championship. Unofficial Results: 1)Randy Ritskes 88, 2)Otto Sitterly 7, 3)Joe Gosek 00, 4)David Gruel 50, 5)Tim Snyder 0, 6)Jeff Holbrook 35, 7)Pat Lavery 22, 8)Jerry Curran 24, 9)Kody Graham 21, 10)Shawn Gosselin 26, 11)Dave Danzer 52, 12)Steve Abt 85, 13)Bobby Haynes 44, 14)Brian Sobus 79, 15)Brandon Bellinger 02, 16)Stephen Gioia III 9, 17)Michael Barnes 98, 18)Michael Muldoon 20, 19)Joey Payne 99, 20)Bobby Bond 05, 21)Bentley Warren 11, 22)Dave McKnight 08, 23)Ray Graham 90, 24)Mike Bond 25, 25)Joe Chillemi 14
Bentley Warren was in Oswego Friday night, getting himself acclimated to the new Ray Graham Xtreme/Hawk chassis #90. Reports from Roy Sova had him down in the low 17's. Check out Pinner's Photo Gallery for some great shots of the Living Legend! I cannot wait to see my all time favorite driver hit the track again.

Coming off a wicked crash a week ago, Otto Sitterly takes a convincing win at Oswego Sat. night. Becoming the only 3 time feature winner this year, the Nicotra team seems to have recovered and look strong going into the end of the season. Dave Danzer started on the pole and ran a great race, leading the first 30 laps. An unfortunate spin in turn 4 spoiled his chances at a win. Dave McKnight and the Syrell team took a hit in points again this week, with an ailing motor all night. This, for sure, takes him out of contention for the Track Championship this season. Motor issues were also a problem for Dave Gruel in the #50, coming away with a 19th place finish. Joe Gosek, Ray Graham Jr., Joey Payne and Randy Ritskes all had solid top 10 finishes, making the points race an even tighter battle. This season may comedown to a shootout for the Championship, in the final race of the season. Unofficial Results:
