Barnes Breaks Track Record to Sit Pole for 66th Bud Classic 200
OSWEGO, NY (September 4, 2022) - The Novelis Supermodified track record was broken three times on Friday afternoon in time trials for the 66th annual Budweiser International Classic 200.
Tyler Thompson first broke his own record of 15.552 with an even better run of 15.332, but it was short lived as Otto Sitterly; piloting a completely re-worked Hawk Chassis in his first Oswego start of 2022, shattered that by a tenth at a 15.429.
While the crowed was still marveling over Sitterly's lap, Barnes was scheduled to time trial just a few cars later, and in the first lap of his run, beat the record again by four one thousandths of a second - this time at 15.425.
On Barnes' second lap, he posted an unthinkable circuit of 15.394 seconds, which is far and away the fastest lap in Oswego Speedway's Supermodified history for an average of 146mph.
Sitterly, Thompson, Dave Shullick Jr, and Mike Bruce completed the top five in time trials while Jeff Abold, Dave Danzer, Brandon Bellinger, Ryan Locke, and Mike McVetta rounded out the top ten.
