Jersey Team Won Biggest Race of Weekend at Syracuse - Big Wheel

  While the Garden State was able to claim several victories at the Syracuse Super DIRT Weekend, including Neal Williams in the Sportsman race, and Jimmy Blewett in the 358 Futures race, a race that many consider one of the biggest, and most important of the weekend, was also won by a Jersey team, yet they barely got any media coverage at all for it.
  The annual Big Wheel Race for "Adults", which are held at Club Wago, an area near the backstretch tunnel notorious for partying well into the morning, was dominated by some names Jersey race fans should definitely recognize. Shane Butler drove a vechicle constructed in the fab shop of Dominic Buffalino. Yes the same Buffalino who picked up a win earlier this year in Big-Block competition at New Egypt Speedway, in his own number 2B machine. Supplying the power( pushing), was none other than Kenny Hammond, who has previously competed at both Flemington, on the pavement, and also at New Egypt, both when it was paved, and on dirt, with his number 16 machines. Hammond is now the owner of a very successful fence company, AFX Fence, who supports Buffalino's racing efforts.
  The team, from Jersey, won their heat race, and then the feature, besting about 20 teams for the $60 purse, and trophy. I know this victory probably meant as much to these guys, as if they had won on the big track, as they have been regulars of the infield crowd for many years.
  Congrats. You guys showed them Jerseyans not only know how to race, but party as well! Sometimes, even at the same time!
