Scarborough Found Illegal After Protest
PLATTSBURGH – After a post-race protest, Fidelis Care Sportsman driver Joey Scarborough has been stripped of his win this past Saturday at Airborne Park Speedway.
Scarborough was found to be in violation of Engine Rule 15.1 B, C and E.
“B. The engine and all components must remain in their original configuration and form as purchased and/or delivered from the factory. Any alterations to the engine will not be permitted. The Engine must remain as manufactured by General Motors with a stock 4”-inch bore. Overbore(s) will not be permitted. Sleeve repair may be permitted with written permission from DIRTcar and/or World Racing Group Officials.”
“C. All engines are to remain sealed from the factory. The original factory seals must remain unaltered. Tampering, removal, modifications of any type and/or broken factory seals will not be permitted. The GM Engine must remain unaltered in any way”
“E. Only GM replacement parts of any type will be permitted for any type of replacement and/or repair work. Only GM Crate Engine specific valve springs may be used for replacement and/or repair, Part Number # 10212811.”
“I believe the 602 Crate Engine program is essential to local short track racing as it creates a level playing field for all competitors,” Promoter John Walker said. “I will not tolerate any deviation from this guideline.”
Further fines and penalties are pending from DIRTcar Racing.
With the disqualification, Connor Cleveland will inherit the Sportsman win. Jamy Begor, Adam Gage, Zack Daniels and Chris Cayea make up the new top five.
