Sege Storms To Heat Victory in Rain/Hail Rescheduled R.O.C. Golden Anniversary 100 !!!

The Fidanza-Petrie Motorsports Team was primed and ready to turn it up a notch for the day as the month long drought from racing at Dunn Tire Raceway Park brought competitors and fans to the track in Lancaster, New York. Sege unveiled a new back panel look as the team rolled out the 77 modified out on the pit pad. 109 former and some current drivers adorned the new panel.
Warm-ups went well as the team made adjustments to the very green race track. 28 R.O.C. modifieds were on hand to start the festivities as Sege drew the pole for the first of 3 heats. "Super Sege" quickly drew out from the rest of the field as outside pole sitter Karl Hehr seemed to miss a shift on the initial start forcing a quick yellow for a complete re-start. On the re-start, Sege again would take command and not face any challenges and made quick work of a heat victory.

The top four from each heat would redraw and Sege drew outside of row 2 . Rain would come to the track on lap 16 of the SST race and wash out the rest of the program. The race has been rescheduled to Sunday August 24th. Pit Gate will open at 10 A.M. Practice at 11.A.M.
Grand stands at noon and racing at 2.P.M. Rain checks from 8/9 will be honored on that day.

264 laps of racing will be on hand. On the schedule will be the Golden Anniversary R.O.C. 100, the remaining 34 laps of the S.S.T feature, the Linda Tasca Memorial 50 Street Stock feature. A Late Model 50 R.O.C. qualifying event, and Super Stock 25 will round out the show.

Sege and the rest of the team will be looking forward to the "Heroes Homecoming" this week at Dunn Tire Raceway Park. 1/2 price admission from 1 P.M. to 4 P.M.

7/19 DART R.O.C. 100 Oswego Speedway

The "Steel Palace," Sherrer, 4 pit stops and Mother Nature spins Sege out of Oswego

32 Modifieds arrived in Oswego for the second DART R.O.C. race. Sege and the rest of Fidanza-Petrie Motorsports were primed for the day. Sege drew 6th in what would be the "fast car" heat with Zacharias,Brittain, Jan Leaty, Eric Beers, Tychonowicz and two other R.O.C. mods. Super Sege finished fourth in his heat with the top 5 making the feature and the top three redrawing.
The red white and chrome 77 would start 14th along with the 30 mods that would start the race. Sege would pit on lap 11 after spinning with Smith, Rebkin, & Sherrer. Sege would return to the pits on lap 20 after a spin by the 17 & 34 car. By lap 30 Sege was in 20th place, Sege would pit again on lap 40 to change a left front flat. Sege would pit again on lap 69 and be done for the day after trying to pass Sherrer for 10 laps where contact would break a left front shock mount after trying to pass on the outside. Rain on lap 87 caused the end of the race with Matt Hirschman winning.
17 cars finished the race on track. Sege wound up 20th and after repairs was able to load the car in the trailer in one piece. Sege and the rest of the Fidanza-Petrie Motorsports team were pretty happy with their performance, the crew did a great job in keeping Sege on the lead lap during all those pit stops. Super Sege is looking forward to returning to Dunn Tire Raceway Park for the rescheduled DART R.O.C. Golden Anniversary 100 on August 9th. Hope to see you there at the track.
 

7/5/08 - Autograph Night

 
Sege Finishes Second, Earns Points Lead !!!
 
Super Sege and the Fidanza-Petrie Motorsports Team were happy to see a large turnout of fans for Autograph Night. Sege finished the heat in fourth and redrew eighth for the feaure.
 
Long cautions in the Street and 23 car S.S.T. Modified field forced the 18 car McGard Modified field to start past 11:00 P.M. Dave Wollaber and Rick Kluth started upfront. After two aborted starts, the Mighty modifieds were on their way, Sege was able to cut through the field by lap twenty to fifth place. Buck Catalano was able to muscle his way past Dave Wollaber, Sege was able to move in to fourth behind the young Erick Rudolph who already won the S.S.T. event. The next caution Sege was able to make his to third by passing Wollaber who had to pit. After the restart Rudolph took the lead, Sege was able to pass Catalano who seemed to have already used up his tires to be in second place. Erick Rudolph won, but Sege and the rest of the Fidanza-Petrie Motorsports team were happy to take over the Dunn Tire Race Park Modified points lead by 9 points over Billy Putney.
 
The next race will be a DART R.O.C. 100 Race Sat. July 19th in Oswego, NY. The next race at Dunn Tire Raceway Park will be August 9th fir the DART R.O.C. Golden Anniversary 100. Hope to see you at the track!!!

June 28, 2008 - R.O.C. Golden Anniversary 100
Mother Nature Wins

Impending storms and rain forced the postponement of the R.O.C. Golden Anniversary 100 to Saturday August 9th.

6/21/08 - Kid's Day Mod 50
Win #110 First win since 2006 "The Superman is back!!!"

The Fidanza-Petrie Motorsports team was quietly confident during warm-ups as Sege, owner Dennis Petrie along with crew members Joe Livingston, Buck Sossong, Jim Musto, Frank Fidanza, Jr. Mike Piscitello and spotter Pete Rutherford put the 2006 Bob Brunneau Troyer Mod through its paces.

19 mighty modifieds took the green flag under threatening skies and a approaching thunderstorm that made the evening very dramatic. Sege started from inside of row two and quickly took the Amherst Diamond Exchange, Olear's Heating and Cooling, Durf's -Hot Wheels Cool Deals, and Halfway Auto Parts #77 to the front of the field. "Super" Sege passed Dave Wollaber on lap one and led all 50 laps being challenged every lap by current points leader Billy Putney and Erick Rudolph. The race went caution free as Sege was back in victory lane after a two year drought. As the rain began to fall in Victory Lane, Sege and the rest of the team quickly celebrated their win.

The Fidanza-Petrie Motorsports team are confident with the win, and are anticipating the R.O.C. Golden Anniversary 100 June 28 at Dunn Tire Raceway Park. Come out to the track and support Live Local Racing Before It Is Too Late!!!
