NY - Monticello Raceway has just concluded its second week of racing after an
extended COVID shutdown. It seems that everyone is getting their groove back
together, Bruce Aldrich Jr. won the first 3 races on the card with Lucky
Leonard (1:59.1 - $14.00) Noble Woody (1:57.3 - $4.90) and with Zone Blitz
(1:56.3 - $2.90) It started to look like a banner day for Aldrich but Mcgwire
Sowers went on a tear for his own driving triple with Ideal Candidate (1:57.1
$2.80) My Last Chance (1:55.4 - $5.40) and Coach Zuzek (1:57 - $2.60) in the
last race of the day. Greg Merton also drove 2 winners on the afternoon.

winner’s circle with Bruce Aldrich right behind him with 7 wins in the 2 week
span. Aldrich sits atop the leader board for the most wins for the year
with 67, with Brandon Parker in second with 49 wins. Bo Sowers is leading
