Anthonyย Perregoย continued his winning ways Saturday night at Orange County Fair Speedway, guiding Brian Smith's Superior Remodeling No. 44 TEO to victory in a Big Block Modified 30-lap feature race that was red flagged twice and wrecked half a dozen cars in a high speed backstretch mishap.ย
Anthony Perrego of Montgomery, NY authored a career night Saturday at Orange County Fair Speedway when he swept to back to back victories in the 30-lap Big Block Modified and 25-lap Small Block Modified features.
Perrego, who has won track titles in each of the last three years at OCFS, rode different paths in each of the winning rides.
โIt's the first time I've ever swept,โ Perrego said. โCame close a few times. It feels that we hit the set up with two different cars so well.โ
