New track promoter Matt DeLorenzo gearing up for Fonda\u2019s season finale <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – Thursday, September 11, 2014 – Big Block Modified driver Matt DeLorenzo spent this summer\u2019s Saturday nights at Fonda Speedway yet he has only raced there four times this season. As the track’s new promoter, DeLorenzo has been keeping himself busy off the track.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been challenging at times. It\u2019s new to me. I\u2019ve always been on the other side of the fence \u2013 the race car driver \u2013 and now I\u2019m dealing with both sides of the fence,\u201d said DeLorenzo, who has grown into his new role at the Fonda, N.Y. track. \u201cNow that I\u2019m almost to the end of the season, I\u2019ve got a rhythm going.\u201d<\/p>\n Fonda Speedway concludes its season Sunday, Sept. 21, with a 100-lap feature race for the Super DIRTcar Big Block Modified Series, marking the first series race at Fonda since 2003. DeLorenzo is planning on racing in his track\u2019s season finale, and is looking forward to competing against the region\u2019s best Modified racers.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s going to be a lot of excitement. A lot of fans are going to see a lot of drivers they haven\u2019t seen in a long time at Fonda racing all together,\u201d DeLorenzo said. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing all the stars of the Super DIRTcar Series race. Billy Decker has been there, and Larry Wight, Matt Sheppard and Jimmy Phelps. They\u2019ve all been there a few times this year, but we haven\u2019t seen all of them there at once.\u201d<\/p>\n Matt Sheppard, of Waterloo, N.Y., leads in Super DIRTcar Series point standings over Billy Decker, of Sidney, N.Y., by a narrow margin of 18 points. Defending series champion Brett Hearn, of Sussex, N.J., sits at third in points and Jimmy Phelps, of Baldwinsville, N.Y., is currently fourth.<\/p>\n Racing is scheduled to get underway at 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, at Fonda Speedway, capping off a full weekend of racing at the track.
