Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Series
Race of Champions Modified Series Heads to Chemung For Rod Spalding Classic
Aug 6, 2024
Williamson, N.Y. – (August 7, 2024) – The F/A Products Maynard Troyer Classic IV set to take place on Friday, August 30 at Spencer Speedway in Williamson, N.Y., and it’s going to be a night “where every lap counts” and extremely lucrative for asphalt Modified racing in the Western Region of New York and Pennsylvania. Long-time friend of Troyer, Tom Forgione has stepped up once again to remain the Race of Champions Modified Series race title sponsor through his F/A Products Engine and Performance Parts brand.
Forgione and the Troyer family will be adding to the overall purse as well providing racers other incentives. Their contribution will once again be increased from the 2024 event. The F/A Products decal will be mandatory on each car participating in the MTC IV for the additional support.
“This is a great fit for our performance business,” offered Forgione. “It is a wonderful way to honor my friend Maynard’s huge impace on the sport. We have seen tangible results on our investment in this from the last couple of years. I would like to thank all of the fans, racers and everyone involved for their support. This is going to be a special night once again and we are looking forward to it.”
Forgione is a former Modified driver and Spencer Speedway regular as well as a former racer in IMSA with a Ford Mustang. Maynard Troyer’s last competitive race occurred with Forgione in 1989 as co-driver during events at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) and at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut. Forgione still competes today in the HTA (Historic Trans Am Series).
Kenny Troyer has been soliciting money to supplement the purse throughout the year and creating new and innovative ideas like the “Invader Bonus” eligible to “new teams” competing in the event. Troyer’s efforts continue to help build the tradition of the event. Each season the bar has been raised to new heights in regard to available money for the competitors. Scott Hossfeld will once again present the event champion with a ring signifying the victor’s accomplishments. Len Kasper, author and local racing historian will once again be on hand for this year’s “Classic” to speak with fans and competitors and support the event as well help drive an “unofficial racer’s reunion” at Spencer Speedway.
The race will be run 60-laps with an unheard of $11,000-to-win for an event of this type. The Race of Champions Sportsman Modified Series will run a 36-lap race on this evening as well. More details in regard to this race will be announced in the near future. The “Rocket Performance” 602 Sportsman Modifieds racing for 16-laps in tribute to Maynard Troyer’s traditional number “6”.
The gates open at 5:00 pm at Spencer Speedway for fans, with qualifying to follow at 7:15 pm on Friday, August 30.
