Then we would have the 4 Cylinder (Bandits) division and after last weekend coming in second to Matt Zira, Francis White would get the win on a caution-free ten-laps race not without a late-race charge from Kaleb Shepard. Then next up would be the Mod-Lites and making a guest appearance in the division would be Mike Mereseca and in only 2 races in the cars, he would come from the middle of the pack and get the win. Then it would be the Limited Sportsman Modifieds for the rookie drivers in the division early race leader Blayden Arquiett would be pulling away from the field as he was going for the second win in a row but as he was trying to get under a lap car he would catch one of the yoke tires and collapse the who front right end of the racecar.

Taking the lead off the start would be Nick Heywood and would be leading the first 24 laps and lapping up 12th place until there was a caution. Off the restart, he would keep the lead but there would another caution from a wreck. That restart would see Nick Heywood and Jamy Begor and Heywood would switch and take the top giving the bottom to Jamy and Begor would get the lead off the start and hold on for the last ten laps get the victory his first of the season.

There would be no heat races for the Renegades with the triple 15 setups and the winner on the night would be the driver with the lowest score. The Renegades would get the night started off before the other two classes even had their heat races with segment 1 and getting the win would be Shawn Duquette over the 16 car field although there would be a few that would drop out including Kaleb Shepard with a huge flip on the front stretch and rounding out the top three would be Billy Fountain and Zack Daniels.

Nick Heywood (29) out on cruise control as he takes the Sportsman Modified main with the wire to wire win. For the first time since the Mohawk Nationals in September 2019, there would be competitive racing at the Mohawk International Raceway and there would be a couple of changes as they would welcome a new division the Super Stock along with the 358 Modifieds being put on hiatus for a year as a lot of the racers are still not able to cross the broader. After the heat racing would be done they would have the mains and the first one up for the season would be the Dirtcar 4 Cylinders (Bandits) and it would be the classic battle up front between Matt Zira and Francis White and this time it would be Zira getting the best of him. Then it would be the brand new Super Stock division on track taking to the track even though the car count would be small what they had would put on a great show and the win would go to Zack Daniels. Then we would have the screamers in the Mod-Lites as there 12 cars would take to the track for the 15 laps main and when the dust would settle the win would go to Scott Sharpe. Then we would have the Novice Sportsman Modified and it would be the young man of Blayden Arquiett blowing the field away. Then to finish off the night it would be the Crossroads Tobacco Sportsman Modified for there 25 lap event and Nick Heywood would start on the pole and that would be pretty much all she wrote as he would take the lead and go out and hide as they ran the 25 laps caution-free Dan Reif would be second and Jamy Begor rounding out the top 3. They will all be back in action next weekend as it would be round 1 of the Mohawk Sportsman Modified Series. Gallery

Joe Daniels (46) and Tylor Terry (44) go side by side through turn 1 as they were battling for a third at the time but at end of the night it would be a winning battle as the top two would be dqed. It would be the second week of racing for Airborne Speedway and the four weekly divisions would all be in action as around 60 cars would grace the pits. With that being said everyone would make their respected main events as there would be no need for an lcq on the night. After the heat racing would be done it would be main time and the first one up would be the Renegades division and it would be a great battle up front between Shawn Duquette, Zack and Joe Daniels, and the Terry brothers Tylor and Josh as they would switch the lead many times over the 25 laps A main. When the dust settled we thought that the winner would be Shawn Duquette but that win would be taken away as he was disqualified along with second place Zack Daniels so the win would end up in the hand of Joe Daniels. Next up would be the 30 laps main for the J+S Steel Sportsman Modified and it would be a tight battle up front all night between Nick Heywood, DJ Gonyo, Bucko Branham, and David Boisclair. Nick Heywood would lead the opening would lead the first 20 laps but would have to retire after an apparent electrical issue. So over the last ten laps, the other three would battle it out. There would be a restart with 2 laps to go with Branham and Boisclair when they raced down to the stretch Boisclair would get the win for his first at the track. Next up would be the Limited Sportsman Modified and would battle up front between Al Lajoice and Mark Fewster and after three years chasing Mark Fewster would get first win behind a Sportsman Modified after a pass in the closing laps. Then the last race of the night would be the 4 cylinder class that would see 13 cars take the green flag but after a few crashes on the night only half would see the checkered flag with the win going to Nate Smart after a great battle with Caleb Tourville. The track will be alive again next Saturday night as it will be Law Enforcement night at the track with all four divisions back in action the only change on the schedule is we will head back to our traditional start time of 7 pm.

Matt Depew (667) and Keith Flach (43) battling for the early race lead during the Modified main event and Flach would hang onto to get the win and third of his career at Albany Saratoga. It would be the fourth week of racing at the Albany Saratoga Speedway better know as the great race place. After all the qualifying was done for the night the only thing that would be left for the night would be the mains and the first one up would be the 4 cylinders for 15 laps and charging from the back to take the lead would be the Jaxson Ryan as the first caution would come out on lap 6 for a spin by Matt Galusha. They would only get one lap in and the caution would be back out for caution for a wreck in turn. On issuing restart the 4 of Jaxson Ryan would just cut clean and Damian Ward would inherit the lead and get the eventual winner on the night. Then next up would be the Street Stock main event with all the action coming in the first five laps as there would be 3 cautions in that time with the big one being when leaders Jimmy Duncan and Paul Braymer would get hooked together and slide to the inside wall. Once the early race wrecking was taken care it would be a great dash to the finish as Josh Bussino would get the win over John Filarecki and Jason Samrov. Then the third main of the night would be the ground-pounding earthshaking Modifieds and it would be a feat just to make the field of 30 for the main as over 40 racers showed up for the night. The race would take a bit to get us there would be three cautions in the first nine laps including a rollover by a newcomer to the 358 ranks Jack Speshock as he hit a hole headed into turn 1. The action would be in the middle of the pack as Andrew Pergero and Larry Wight would charge up to second and third behind Keith Flach. There would be a caution just over the halfway mark with 14 laps to go and Flach Pergero and Wight at the front although they wouldn't have an answer as Flach would just pull away and take the victory. Then we would have the Sportsman Modified race and it would be a career night from Jim Nagle as he would come up from his top ten starting position and take the lead and outlast Cody Ochos and Andrew Buff for the first Sportsman Modified event win. After that, it would be the Limited Sportsman Modified turn to take to the track, and once again it would be the Dylan Madsen show as he would get his second win in four races on the season and now be just one win away from being called up to the big show at Albany Saratoga Speedway. Then to finish off the night of racing from Albany Saratoga would be the crowd-pleasing Pro Stocks Chuck Dumblewski would bottom feed on the track all night and get a win on the night over Jason Casey. They will be back racing next weekend at the great race place on May 14th as it will be Law Enforcement night and thousand to win for the Sportsman Modified and Pro Stock divisions. Gallery
