McGill Continues Roll at Weedsport with $500 Win; Palmieri Goes Back-to-Back in Clone Light

WEEDSPORT, NY (July 28, 2019) – In a change of pace, Weedsport Kartway welcomed nearly 90 competitors through its gates on Saturday afternoon to kick-off Hall of Fame Weekend with Nick McGill once again showing the way come feature time.

McGill claimed two main event wins on the day, earning victories in both Clone Super Heavy features including a $500 PRO Clone Super Heavy triumph.

In PRO, McGill started from the fourth position, but quickly laid claim to the top spot in the 30-lap finale besting Richard Murtaugh, Matt Chavis, Nick Story and Thomas Montgomery in money positions.

In the Clone Super Heavy 25-lap points-paying feature McGill topped Logan Winn, Ryan Hall, Story, and Montgomery.

The Clone Light and Clone Heavy main event winners on Saturday were awarded the 4thand 5th starting positions for the upcoming Kart Cup PRO Clone 360 Twin 20’s on Sunday, August 25.

John Palmieri and Murtaugh would earn those positions by visiting victory lane in their respective features.

For the second consecutive event, Palmieri was the victor in a stout Clone Light field of 17-entries.  Palmieri drove to victory over Devon McGill, Tim Campbell, David Hackett Jr., and Mike Adderly.

Murtaugh had his way with the Clone Heavy feature on Saturday defeating McGill, Chris Pier, Seth Perrin, and Chris Natoli.

The junior divisions saw some of their best action of the season on Saturday with Owen Bird taking the win in Jr. Blue Clone.  Bird raced to the win ahead of Tanner Emmons, Dylan Begy, Seth Whitney and Austin Harmer.

Jr. Purple Clone saw a full 20-laps of action on Saturday as Tyler Emmons went to victory lane over Chayton Young, Chris Duclos, Caiden Ayen and Chris Crane.

Jr. Green Clone went down to the wire in a wild finish with Colt Kimball leading the way to victory lane in his No. 2.  Behind Kimball were Grayson Adderly, Parker Allen, Cody Stebbins, and Connor Crane.

The Jr. Red Clone main event saw another good race between its competitors with Blake Banek earning another win over Kolton Gamble, Deegan Nichols, and Connor Allen.

Stirling Lubricants & Champion Racing Oil’s presentation of the Performance Manufacturing Super Kart Series at Weedsport will see further events run on Sunday, August 25 as well as on September 28-29.

Clone engine rules will follow AKRA guidelines with a Burris 33a tire rule for all divisions.
