9.2.22 Empire Super Sprints Results

Brewerton, N.Y. -Danny Varin continued his hot streak at Brewerton Speedway on Friday night as the Fonda, New York pilot collected his seventh Empire Super Sprints win of the 2022 campaign. Varin ducked under current point leader Jordan Poirier midway through the A Main and handled a couple of late race restarts enroute to the $2,000 payday.

” This is unbelievable, I really don’t know what to say ” added Varin just before he climbed up the top wing to celebrate in front of a packed house at the D Shaped Dirt Demon. Varin was humble in victory lane, giving credit to his crew, family, friends and sponsors, ” I can’t thank everyone who supports us enough “.

With a season high 34 cars in the Brewerton pit area, it took four heats to set the 26 car field that would take the green flag for the 25 lap A Main. Current point leader Jordan Poirier and Matt Farnham led the field to green with Poirier grabbing the lead until lap two when Sammy Reakes IV, Shawn Donath and Paulie Colagiovanni got together in turn two resulting with Reakes rolling the 17 and was done for the night. Both Donath and Colagiovanni were able to continue. On the ensuing restart, Poirier took command and began distancing himself from the pack. As Poirier was reaching lapped traffic, Varin ( started sixth ) was slowly reeling Poirier in with Larry Wight ( started 11th ) and Davie Franek ( started eighth ) not far behind. On lap 12, Varin got the bite he needed low off of turn two to power by the Poirier machine. Two laps later, Poirier made contact with a lapped car and came to a stop in between turns one and two, ending his night. The lap 14 restart saw Varin leading Franek, Chuck Hebing, Wight and Jonathan Preston into turn one and it stayed that way until a lap 16 caution bunched the field up again. Chad Miller, Paulie Colagiovanni and Dylan Swiernik came together in turn four ending the night for all three drivers. Larry Wight was able to get by Hebing for third on the restart and set sights on the 01 machine of Varin. The final caution of the night was for Hebing as he came to a stop in turn two which bunched the field and put Franek and Wight on Varin’s tail tank for the last seven laps. Wight snuck under Franek on lap 20 to move into second but Varin had moved out to a 10 car advantage by then leaving Wight little to close the gap. Varin cruised to a 5 car length win with Wight and Franek completing the podium. Tommy Wickham ( from 17th ) and Shawn Donath ( early race incident ) rounded out the top five with Jeff Cook, Jonathan Preston, Matt Billings, Jason Barney ( from 25th ) and Scott Kreutter completing the top ten.

Group Fast times were set by Varin, Donath, Reakes and Poirier. Heats were won by Franek, Farnham, Reakes and Poirier. Dylan Swiernik won the Dash and Chad Miller took the B Main.
