Susice, Wills, Pangrazio, Close, and Rouse Win on Pink Out Night at Ransomville

RANSOMVILLE, NY (July 18, 2025) Ryan Susice from Ransomville, NY won his first Krown Undercoating 358 Modified feature of the season on Pink Out Night and #TanaStrong Night at the Ransomville Speedway presented by Shelby Crushed Stone. Kevin Wills from Ransomville, NY won his first Stirling Lubricants DIRTcar Sportsman feature of the season, and first since August of 2018.

We cannot thank all the fans, drivers, officials, and crews that supported our Pink Out Night and thank all those that used the #PinkOutWNY on social media as we wore pink in solidarity and support of General Manager Tana Robinson and all of those who are affected by breast cancer. During intermission, the drivers did a “Pass the Helmet” and $1,650 was collected and will be donated to Roswell Park’s Angel Fund.

Noah Walker and Jesse Cotriss brought the Krown Undercoating 358 Modified feature to the green flag, with Walker taking the early lead ahead of Cotriss, Andrew Smith, Nelson Mason, and Chad Brachmann.
