OSWEGO, NY (May 21, 2024) – Oswego Speedway is proud to announce the presentation of four special awards in memory of former 350 Supermodified driver, Ralph Clark, for Saturday’s 30-lap J&S Paving 350 Super ‘Clash for Cliff’ Season Opener.
Ralph Clark, whose car number was 5, and his brother Roger’s Supermodified number was 55, passed over the offseason and to honor his memory, Oswego Speedway presents the following awards:
- Ralph Clark Memorial Fifth Place Prize ($55 bonus to the 5th place finisher)
- Ralph Clark Memorial Fifth Lap Leader ($55 bonus to the car leading lap 5)
- Ralph Clark Memorial Fifth on Lap 5 ($55 bonus to the car in 5th place on lap 5)
- Ralph Clark Memorial Hard Charger for Advancing Five Positions ($55 bonus to the highest finishing car that advances 5 or more positions in the feature)
This Saturday’s 350 Super feature event, now titled the ‘Clash for Cliff,’ boasts a $2,050 prize for the winner in honor of Tim Barbeau and Dave Cliff. This gesture comes as the Speedway community rallies behind Cliff, who was injured in a practice crash last weekend. The $2,050 prize holds special significance as it’s a nod to Barbeau’s longtime car number, 50.
Oswego Speedway’s 73rd season opens Saturday, May 25th, with the 75-lap Jim Shampine Memorial for Novelis Supermodifieds, 35-lap Tony White Memorial for Pathfinder Bank SBS, and the 30-lap ‘Clash for Cliff’ for the J&S Paving 350 Supers.
Fans can catch another Open Practice session on Friday, May 24th from 6 to 10 PM, with free grandstand admission.
