Oswego Classic Week to feature Tobacco Free Network $50,000 Classic Challenge for drivers

The best supermodified drivers from the Midwest, the Northeast and Canada will be cinching their seatbelts a little bit tighter this Labor Day Weekend at the Oswego Speedway in hopes of becoming the first driver to ever sweep both supermodified races on the schedule and walk away $50,000 richer courtesy of the Tobacco Free Network.

The Tobacco Free Network of Oswego County has a long relationship with the Oswego Speedway and teams up annually with the Speedway to bring news about the risks of smoking to the fans at the track. In addition to prominent signage around the Speedway, the Tobacco Free Network is the sponsor of the Tobacco Free Network Family Section near the first turn in the front grandstand area. More news from the Tobacco Free Network will be announced during the 2007 racing season at the Oswego Speedway. Commercials for the Tobacco Free Network will be part of the live streaming video coverage of Classic Week racing action on AsphaltVision.

The Tobacco Free Network $50,000 Classic Challenge will pay a $25,000 bonus to the one driver who can pick up the $5,000 first place money in the 14th Bud Light ISMA Super National 50 on Saturday night September 1st and follow that up by collecting the $20,000 first place money in the 51st Budweiser International Classic 200 the next afternoon.

In the previous thirteen years of the winged and non-winged Classic Week format at the Oswego Speedway, only Bentley Warren and Greg Furlong have ever won both races. Neither of them was able to do it on the same weekend though. The closest anyone has ever come to winning both races in the same year was in 2004 when Greg Furlong and Bobby Santos III each finished in the top two positions in both races. In the other twelve years of this format, Russ Wood has been the only driver to get as close as Furlong and Santos did. Wood registered top three finishes in both races in 1997. The 1999 winner of the Bud Light Super National 50, Gary Allbritain, won the Budweiser International Classic 200 in 1975. That win for Allbritain came nineteen years before these two races were teamed up as the featured events for Budweiser Classic Week in 1994.

Will history be made in 2007 during the 51st Budweiser Classic Week at the Oswego Speedway?

Will the same driver pull into victory lane on Saturday in the Bud Light ISMA Super National 50 and then again on Sunday in the Budweiser International Classic 200?

Will one driver walk away with the Tobacco Free Network $50,000 Classic Challenge money?

Oswego Speedway is the one place to be for race fans this Labor Day Weekend. See the best supermodified drivers there are trying to cash in on the $50,000 payday from the Oswego Speedway, ISMA and the Tobacco Free Network of Oswego County.
