Graham Is A Champ At Oswego Again

OSWEGO, N.Y. – For the second year in a row, Ray Graham, Jr. is a Race of Champions winner.

Graham passed Joe Gosek on lap 42 and then breezed on to lead the final 20 laps to garner the Novelis Supermodified portion of the 62nd Annual Sunoco Race of Champions at Oswego Speedway Saturday.

Not only is Graham’s victory his second in a row in Race of Champions competition, it is also his second in a row in 2012 at Oswego Speedway and his eighth career Oswego Supermodified victory.

Gosek held on for second ahead of Pat Lavery, Randy Ritskes, and Mike Barnes in the top-five positions. Otto Sitterly, Brian Sobus, Dan Connors Jr., Stephen Gioia III, and Kody Graham completed the Top 10 finishers.

Graham started eighth on the grid in the 62-lap main event and methodically worked his way through the pack before making the lap 42 high side pass on pole sitter Gosek.

Gosek would then have to battle Lavery for the runner-up position in the closing stages, but was able to hang on.

A total of 24 Supermodifieds were in the pit area, all taking the green, with 13 finishing on the lead lap. There were no major accidents in the event.
