Patti Pruitt wins SST Division Championship at the BullRing
Perry NY, Congratulations to the first lady of SST Modified Racing! Patti Pruitt pulled into victory lane relieved of the pressure, and congratulated for her and the teams great accomplishment. Now crowned the 2008 Wyoming County International Speedway Season Champion in the very competitive SST Modified division.
Consistency is key when racing for the top title, and the Pruitt Racing team from Owego NY stepped up to the plate. Several top ten finishes along with 4 feature wins for the team, calculated out to just over 100point lead over the second place contender, #91 Joe Evans of Holland NY, as they went into the 35 lap double points race. The pressure was on for Pruitt only to finish well enough to keep the young and fast Evans from over taking her strong lead. Pruitt would have had to drop out of the race early and Evans would have had to win to create the Pruitt upset. As it turned out Patti’s ability and desire to win would drive her back to the front followed tightly by the #91 as the crossed over the strip for the victory!
Patti Pruitt will be known as the first woman to win a championship in SST Modified history. Adding to her résumé, already consisting of another historical racing accomplishment of the first husband and wife team to finish first & second consecutively in SST Modified competition several seasons ago. Congratulations again to Patti Pruitt #8 and the Title of WCIS / SST Modified Division Champion, 2008.
