AFTON, NY – The Modified feature winner this Friday night, July 28, at the Afton Motorsports Park will receive a guaranteed starting spot for the Fulton Outlaw 200 which takes place on Saturday, September 30.

Leon Andrus continued on saying, “We have a very competitive field that races at Afton on a weekly basis in our Modified division. This guaranteed starting spot for one of the premiere short track races in the Northeast is icing on the cake for the feature winner this Friday night.”
