SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The final two events of the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints (ESS) week of speed is this Friday and Saturday. It will be SUNY Canton Weekend at Mohawk International Raceway and the Can-Am Motorsports Park where both 25 lap A-Mains will pay $2,000 to win.

The events will also have importance to many of the individual point standings as well as the over all Lucas Oil title so fans will expect a full field of sprint cars on both nights.

Lance Yonge, Justin Barger and Chuck Hebing have already picked up victories in the week of speed but there are many more sprint teams looking to pick up a checkered flag this weekend.

Barger comes in as the overall ESS point leader over Yonge, Shawn Donath, Hebing and Paul Kinney and all will be in the hunt on both nights. But, the list doesn’t stop there as Matt Tanner, Michael Parent, Cory Sparks, Patrick Vigneault, Jeff Cook, Alain Bergeron, Kevin Ward Jr., Mike Stelter, Sammy Reakes IV, Etienne Girard, Joe Trenca, Paul Habeck, Charlie Donk, Jason Barney, James Hanson, Kory Gurney, Kyle Dutcher, Paul Pekkonen, Devin Caron and others will be on hand for both events.

While this was the original second date at Mohawk, the winged warriors will also be back in two more weeks on July 20th to make up for the June 8th rain out. Teams please note that wrist bands from the June 8th date will be honored this Friday.

The next night will be the second visit to Can-Am and will see additions of the Wilson duo of Rick and April as well as Tim Kelly to be in the field joining the cavalry that will be heading down from Akwesasne, NY.

SUNY Canton has been a major supporter of ESS for several seasons now and with their help teams will be gunning for two $2,000 top prizes.

Mohawk International, Can-Am…the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints and the tradition of excitement guaranteed for over 30 years!
