The Race of Champions Sportsman Modified Series will compete in a 51-lap race in honor of McGuire’s beautiful numbered and designed “#51” cars that he brought to tracks throughout the region for many years.

Tony Hanbury, who resides in Ontario, NY, is originally from the Southern Tier and is looking forward to the challenge that the Chemung Speedrome provides.

“Chemung is a tough place,” offered Hanbury. “You’re always up on the wheel and driving hard. Saturday night we are honoring one of the great guys in this sport and it would be great to get back to victory lane this year. Hopefully, we can put things together and have a little luck on our side to get the job done.”
