Welcome To Riverhead Raceway

.. Jimmy White Jr. And Paul Dodorico Visit Riverhead Raceway Victory Lane Saturday Evening by Bob FInan Jimmy "The Kid" White Jr. set fast time, drew the pole and then led all 30-laps of Saturday night's Blunderbust feature at Riverhead Raceway to score his second win of 2012, while Paul Dodorico of Miller Place waited until the final Legend Race Car event of the year to post his first win of the year in a 30-lap INEX Legend National Qualifier. The two races were a prelude to the Riverhead 200 for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour on Buzz Chew Chevrolet-Cadillac night. Jimmy White Jr. got his night off on the right foot, literally as he set fast time with a lap of 15.082 on the first of two qualifying laps. After drawing the pole in the re-draw among the top six White quickly moved out front with Jack Handley Jr., who drew the outside pole moving to second. Handley kept in step with White as the lead duo was able to get away from the rest of the 25-car field. Suddenly on lap 21 Handley slowed on the track and eventually dropped to the infield, later reporting his engine "just laid down" while he chased White. That turn of events moved Scott Maliszewski to second but with the sizeable lead White had built-up coupled with the fact the race would go non-stop without a caution flag Scott had no chance of catching Jimmy White Jr. The win came on a good night for the driver of the Busy Bee Pest Control entry as he collected an extra $300 in lap money from Rovin Promotions, plus an additional $100 bonus from Sunoco Race Fuels and their Riverhead Raceway distributor F&S Race Fuels. Scott Maliszewski of Deer Park was runner-up in the Thomas J Stock Attorney At Law Chevy, while 2012 champion Tom Pickerell of Huntington placed third in the Premier Utility Service entry. Maliszewski and Pickerell pocketed an extra $200 and $100 respectfully in lap money. Paul Dodorico must like the last night of racing in the Legend Race Car division as for the second year in a row he won the class's final race of the year. In pre-race qualifying for the INEX National Qualifier, 2012 champion Kyle Ellwood of Riverhead broke his own track record with a lap of 13.661 but in the redraw drew 6th while Paul Dodorico and Greg Harris picked the front row. At the throw of the green Dodorico and Harris would race side-by-side for the lead over the first five laps with Harris leading lap 6 before Dodorico reclaimed the lead on lap 7. A lap later on the 8th circuit Brendon Bock worked his way past Harris for second bringing Kyle Ellwood to third. Over the next several laps Dodorico, a tested tough racing veteran was challenged by the young guns as Bock, 15 and Ellwood, 17 turned the heat up on the leader. Kyle got by Bock for second on lap 13 and for four laps he and Dodorico went wheel to wheel with Dodorico before Bock moved back to second on lap 18. Ellwood's night would soon come to a bitter end while running third as his rear bumper started to drag the track and he was black flagged to the infield leaving Bock to try and wrestle the lead away from Dodorico. This battle for the lead also featured some fantastic side-by-side racing. In the end it was Paul Dodorico wheeling the Titan Global Security machine taking home the win, his second career victory. Brendon Bock of Franklin Square was runner-up in his Bock Motorsports racer, while Vinny Delaney of Holtsville was third in the Joe Sole owned mount. Blunderbusts: 1. Jimmy White Jr. 2.
