The World Products Empire State Series for IMCA Modifieds heads to the I-88 Speedway in Afton NY, for round 6, Tuesday August 28th. Pit gates will open at 4:00pm, while the grandstands open at 5:00pm. Hot laps will be run at 6:15pm with racing at 7:00pm.

Last year’s race at I-88 went to defending Series Champion Eddie Sites on his first ever visit to the track. Sites will lead a strong contingent of invaders including such stars as Dale Schweikart, Mike Smith, Dan Searls, Rich McNeal, Chris Fleming, Sonny Terry, and others. The competition at I-88 has been intense this season with many different winners. The I-88 contingent will be led by such stars as Gary and Matt Roberts, Gary Smith, Mike Wilmot, KC Cole, and some feature winning rookies including Bud Phillips, Matt Cole and Nick Greist.
The first five Series events have all been won by PA drivers including three rookies. Round six will look to continue this string as many PA drivers are expected as well as many rookies. This event will pay $1000 to win and will carry a Fast Shafts All Star Invitational Ballot spot for 2013. This event should provide some great IMCA racing action and is not an event to miss.
