South Plattsburgh \u2013 The Race of Champions (RoC) Asphalt Modified Series will make its first ever appearance at Airborne Speedway Saturday, June 4, one week after its 2011 schedule begins at Oswego Speedway.<\/p>\n
Teams entered in the Della Auto Group 100 include defending RoC champion Matt Hirschman of Northampton, PA, Chuck Hossfeld of Ransomville, NY, Pete Brittain of Allentown, PA, Daren Scherer of Binghamton, NY and Erick Rudolph of Ransomville, NY.
\n
\nRudolph, 19, is a third generation driver who has enjoyed big-block modified success on both asphalt and dirt. His father and crew chief, Charlie Rudolph, is a three-time Lancaster Speedway champion (asphalt) and a two-time Ransomville Speedway champion (dirt).<\/p>\n
Rudolph will drive the Heinke-Baldwin Racing Mohawk NorthEast\/Original Pizza Logs Chevrolet No. 98 in a 125-lap NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at Stafford Motor Speedway before heading to Oswego for the RoC opener.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to racing at Airborne,\u201d Rudolph said. \u201cI\u2019ve heard it\u2019s a really good place to race. Now I\u2019ll get to check I out. Winning is definitely what we\u2019re after even when we\u2019re at a track for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Race of Champions Modifieds are two feet wider than a NASCAR Sprint Cup car and 11 inches lower to the ground. They run 15-inch slicks and produce 650 HP.<\/p>\n
