Last Lap Pass for Wozniak to Take the Win at Sleepy’s Shootout at the Green
By Shylo Fuchs

23 cars would make the trip to Evergreen Raceway Park for the Sunoco New York Super Stocks
presented by Insinger Performance tour Race.
Jason Dinzler and Frank Petroski led the field to the green for 75 laps of action packed racing.
Lap one would bring the first yellow as the 90 of Nate Peckham and the 51 of Mike Pollack
would make contact resulting in the 51 sitting the wrong way on a one way street.
Dinzler would beat Petroski to turn one and grab the lead. Dinzler would lead the first 11 circuits
until the 25 of Joel Gleason would take over the top spot on lap 12. Caution would fly on lap 14
when the 39 of Jim Lamoreaux made contact with the 23 of Robert Fink sending him around
collecting the 85 of Brian Wozniak.
Gleason would continue to lead on the restart as the 68 of Scott Adams would work his way to
second from his 7th place starting position. Adams would apply pressure to the Gleason
machine for the next 14 laps before the caution would fly once again. The 75 of Zach Willis
would get crossed up after contact with the 21 of John Bennett.
Scott Adams would grab the lead away on the lap 32 restart and set sail for what appeared to
be a sure win. With the 15 of Nick Robinson trying to run the 68 down lapped traffic would play a
role in the race. Contact would be made between a lapped car and the leader just as the yellow
would fly on lap 70 for Bill Frisbie getting turned around in turn one. This contact would send the
68 pit side with a left front flat tire. Robinson would also have to pit for a flat tire as well.
This placed Joel Gleason and his #25 back in the top spot for the remaining 5 laps. Gleason
would hold the lead until the final lap. Brian Wozniak made his move for the top spot. Gleason
would slide up in the third turn allowing Wozniak to get away sand left the bottom of the track
open for the 51 of Pollack, 23 of Fink and the 75 of Willis.
Wozniak would cross the line first followed by Pollack, Fink, Willis and Gleason would round out
the top 5.
