For the second consecutive season, Central New York Chevy Dealers will back the front row of the Budweiser International Classic 200 sponsoring the $1,000 Fast Time Award and $500 Outside Pole Award.

Onboard since 2016, when Michael Muldoon and Pat Lavery made up the front row for the 60th running of the Classic, CNY Chevy Dealers has returned this season not only to sponsor the front row for the Budweiser International Classic, but for the entire Friday portion of Classic Weekend, dubbed ‘CNY Chevy Dealers Classic Friday Pole Day Qualifying.’

Central New York Chevy Dealers is made up of seventeen select GM dealerships serving Syracuse, Baldwinsville, Cicero, Yorkville, Auburn, Herkimer, Rome, Oneonta, Cortland, Pulaski, Tully, Oswego, Seneca Falls, and more. CNY Chevy Dealers offers the best of new, certified pre-owned, and pre-owned Chevrolet cars, trucks, and SUVs in the Central NY region, carrying an impressive variety of pre-owned vehicles of other various makes and models. Whether it’s new or pre-owned, CNY Chevy Dealers takes pride in carrying the highest quality vehicles, such as the Chevy Silverado, Chevy Cruze, and Chevy Malibu. You can visit Central New York Chevy Dealers online at CNYChevy.com.

Friday’s action will begin with hot laps for the Oswego Supermodifieds and SBS, beginning at 1pm and running all afternoon through 4pm. Happy Hour practice will then take place from 4:15pm until 5:15pm before the Pathfinder Bank SBS hit the track for their Bud Light SBS Classic TIme Trials. Novelis Supermodified International Classic time trials will immediately follow, with the top ten qualifiers being automatically locked into the 200-lap contest presented by Budweiser. Following SBS Semi-Final races, a ‘Party in the Pits’ will cap off the night featuring the SBS Classic redraw and a performance by ‘Dirt Road Ruckus.’
