Good Showing at Utica-Rome - June 9-10
The Big Red Towing 99 finished 4th this weekend at the Utica-Rome Speedway. Ryan Phelps, who started in the 2nd spot fell to 4th near the start of the race. Phelps would make his way around Andy Bachetti on lap five and set his sites on top running Billy Shantel Jr. Phelps made repeated attempts at Shantel as his car seemed to get better as the race went on. Phelps would bobble badly on a restart with a couple of laps remaining and fall directly to fifth. He would end up finishing in the 4th position. The team heads to Can-Am this Saturday, and Utica-Rome again next Sunday.

Heartbreaking weekend for 99 team - May 25-May 27

This weekend, the Big Red Towing 99 competed at the Can-Am Motorsports Park on Saturday night and the Utica-Rome Speedway on Sunday. Saturday, the team was forced to pit multiple times on a rough racing surface. They ended up salvaging a poor 11th place run. Sunday, the team competed at Utica-Rome. After leading the majority of the race, Ryan Phelps looked to be on his way to his first win of the 2007 season. With just five laps to go Phelps led the field across the line on a restart. Running a low gear ratio, Phelps needed roughly a lap to get momentum up before he could scoot away from second place AJ Romano. Before he could do this, Romano lunged under Phelps in a "Slide for life" that would end up taking both cars out of the race. Romano was put the the rear for the contact. The 99 team will be back in action Saturday night at the Can-Am Motorsports park for the 5-Star Mini Series Race and Sunday evening at the Utica-Rome Speedway.
 

Consistent Weekend for Team Big Red - May 11-May 13

The 99 team took home two solid 7th place runs this weekend. Saturday night, at the Can-Am Motorsports Park, Phelps ran against a solid field of cars. After fierce battles with Danny Johnson, Frankie Caprara and last weeks winner, Vic Coffey, Phelps finished the race in 7th position. Sunday, in the 75 lap ROC Special, Phelps also finished 7th in a very tough field of cars. Phelps spent much of the race dueling with the likes of Alan Johnson and Matt Sheppard. The team will be back in action Friday night at the Thunder Alley Speedpark, Sunday at the Utica Rome Speedway and next Tuesday at the Fulton Speedway.
 

Rainy Weekend for 99 Team - April 27-29

This weekend both the Evans Mills Speedway and Can-Am Speedway cancelled their Big Block racing events due to wet weather. The 99 team did compete in the 358 division Sunday at Utica-Rome Speedway. After finishing second in heat race #3 and starting in the 6th spot, Phelps got into an accident midway through the race and did not finish the event. The team's next race will be this Saturday at the Can-Am Motorsports Park.
 

Ryan Phelps Adds Name To Powerful Utica-Rome Speedway field

"The Rocket" Ryan Phelps has thrown his name into the hat of Utica-Rome Speedway drivers for the 2007 season. Phelps will pilot a 358-Modifed at the speedway and face what many feel will be the most star-packed speedway in the northeast. Phelps will face off every Sunday against a fierce blend of stars from both the DIRT and ROC circuits including Alan Johnson, Pat Ward, Bobby Varin, Matt Sheppard, Todd Burley, Jack Johnson, Mitch Gibbs, Ronnie Johnson, and Stewart Friesen along with many tough local veterans. "I will miss Cayuga County. I don't know that we will race there once this year as Utica-Rome races most every Sunday. Weedsport was probably my best track, however, I am really glad to be a part of the Utica-Rome field. Gene Cole is doing many great things for dirt racing and that is the biggest reason we are proud to support his race track." Phelps' father, Roger is a former Utica-Rome Speedway Track Champion.

Team Big Red to Make Return to "Nasty Track" in 2007

The Big Red Towing 99 will be heading north this season. Ryan will be racing weekly at the Can-Am Motorsports Park on Saturday nights and in select shows at the Thunder Alley Speed Park on Friday evenings. The team also plans to begin the season following the Super Dirt Series at Hagerstown, MD on March 31st. Although he will miss his fans at the Brewerton and Fulton Speedways, Ryan is excited to return to Can-Am, where he cut his teeth in Modified style racing. The speedway's marketable purse is the biggest draw for the Phelps team. Ryan also feels this is where he will get the opportunity to race against the strongest weekly competition.
