It didn’t take long for the talent to show through, as Erich finished 4^th in the feature event in the 600 Amateur division at Paradise on Saturday June 21^st, and followed it up one week later with his first ever microsprint feature win on the ¼ mile clay oval. He powered his Pace Electronics sponsored Bailey to a runner-up finish in the heat race, earning an outside pole starting position in the feature. When the green flag flew, he and pole sitter Trevor Bliss raced side by side for two laps. Erich was able to grab a lead he never relinquished en route to the victory. The race was slowed by only one caution. The Branich microsprint team will be back in action at Paradise on July 5^th. Erich’s microsprint effort is also sponsored by Heluva Good Foods (Sodus, NY), Mr. Auto/Parts Plus (Ontario, NY), Carl’s Cleaning Service (Williamson, NY), and Ed Harof (Williamsville, NY).

WILLIAMSON, NY…In NASCAR Modified feature action it all came down to the final lap and final turn. T.J. Potrzebowski, who led from the start of the 30-lap feature, made contact with a lap car, allowing Mike Leaty, running in third at the time, to duck low and out drag Potrzebowski down the front straight for the win. “As the track point leader I had to go for it,” related Leaty. “T.J. had a great car and he deserved the win, but I’ll take a win anyway I can get one.”
