Sam Reakes Has Outstanding Top Five Finish on Friday Night at Brewerton Speedway With Empire Super Sprints; Wins Dash for Cash

Running with the Empire Super Sprints typically requires a lot of travel time, and Sam Reakes IV and his team have done plenty of traveling this season with the popular Sprint Car club, but there is nothing better when a home track hosts the nights events and traveling time is a mere 15 minutes up the road. Reakes faced that this week as Brewerton Speedway hosted the Empire Super Sprints this past Friday night.

Reakes began the night by posting the sixth fastest speed in opening practice, and then took advantage of a front row starting spot in his qualifying heat race to pick up the win. By winning the heat, he earned a spot in the Dash for Cash, and brought home the win, earning his first Apex X-1 Race Cars/Cobra Coaches Dash for Cash. He started the A-main for from third place, and battled amongst the top five for the entire distance, finishing with a very strong fourth place result.

“It is always fun racing here close to home”, says Reakes after the race. “We have a great local fan base, and it is nice to be running near the front with such a competitive field of cars here”.

The next race on the schedule for Reakes will come on Labor Day Weekend as the Empire Super Sprints make their final visit of 2012 to Utica Rome Speedway on Sunday, September 2nd.

These sponsors include Whittaker’s Cars and Trux, Around Town Plumbing and Heating, Town Mechanical, Alpine Stars, All Phase Construction, Advanced Hearing Aid Centers, Billings Automotive and Mike Woodring Racing.
