The event is the highlight of the season for the David’s Race Cars and Components Hobby Stocks. Jim Piaseczny and Patrick Tanguay have been on top of the point standings all season.

For nearly 40 years, “It’s the right place to turn left.” Hot rods, street rods, custom cars and other automotive fabrication projects are also some of their specialties. Even if you’re planning on going straight, Dave Joyce may still be the man to talk to.

The BIG ONE is finally here. This Friday night, July 19th the Lee USA Speedway will feature the biggest most exciting event of the season for the Benson Lumber and Hardware Small Block Supermodifieds; the 2nd Annual “Moneybags Race.” Over $15,000 in total prize money is on the line, by far the richest payday of the year. ISMA’s all-time winningest driver Chris Perley is entered in one of the Witkum Brothers team cars in an attempt to unload most of the loot from the Lee USA regulars.
The race will be run in three segments, each paying $500 to the winner. The starting lineup for the first segment will be determined by time trials. A separate $500 purse will be awarded to the fastest qualifiers. A fast lap may give a driver a leg up in the first segment, but for the second and third segments the finishing order of the previous segment will be reverted. The overall winner will be determined by a point fund paying $2,000 to the winner. It would be difficult to do, but if one driver could dominate the event winning the pole and all three segments, he could walk away with nearly $4,000.
