🏁 NEW RACE NIGHT BONUS — AND THIS JUST HAPPENED! 🧩

Literally within the last 30 minutes, Chase Aussicker from CJS Construction reached out and made a donation to Racers For Autism — AND decided to make The 5th Annual Upstate Chevy Dealers Autism Acceptance Race a little more interesting.

💰 $250 FASTEST LAP BONUS!

During the 64-lap Upstate Chevy Dealers Autism Acceptance Race, the driver who turns the FASTEST LAP of the race will pick up an extra $250 courtesy of CJS Construction!

Thank you, Chase and CJS Construction, for stepping up and supporting what we're doing. This is exactly how this event has continued to grow — people and businesses see the mission, come up with an idea and say, "Let's do it."

And that got me thinking...

WHO ELSE WANTS IN? 👀

Maybe your business wants to make a donation to autism and put up:
🏁 $250 for Hard Charger
🏁 $250 for the halfway leader
🏁 $250 for the highest-finishing Canadian
🏁 $250 for the B-Main hard charger
🏁 $250 for a random finishing position
🏁 Or come up with your OWN creative bonus!

It doesn't have to be $250, either. $100, $200, $500 — whatever you want to do.

We'll promote the bonus, recognize your business and add another little wrinkle to what is already shaping up to be one hell of a race.

And most importantly, you're joining a racing community that's coming together to help us raise money and create opportunities through Racers 4 Autism.

Want to add a bonus?

MESSAGE US ASAP. We only have a few days left, but apparently we're STILL adding things to this race! 😂🏁🧩

THANK YOU CHASE AUSSICKER & CJS CONSTRUCTION!

64 LAPS. $10,000 TO WIN. 40+ DRIVERS. AND NOW $250 TO THE FASTEST CAR ON THE CLOCK. 🏁

Who wants to be next?

This is the final week where you can bid to have either Chris Jr or Richie locked in as a guaranteed started for the Autism Acceptance race this Friday at Albany Saratoga Speedway! The driver with the highest bid starts on the outside pole of the feature.

Bidding closes THURSDAY September 3rd at Noon.

711 NATION — PICK YOUR CRANE!

Friday, September 4th, the Autism Acceptance Race takes over Albany-Saratoga Speedway — and before the green flag even flies, there’s already a little competition happening in the 711 Racing camp!

CHRIS CRANE JR. vs. RICHIE CRANE

Why?

Because the OUTSIDE POLE starting position is up for auction!

Each driver has their own auction, and the driver who raises the MOST MONEY will be awarded the outside front-row starting position for the Pro Stock feature!

So, 711 Nation...

WHO DO YOU WANT ON THE OUTSIDE POLE?! 👀

🏁 CHRIS CRANE JR.
BID/DONATE TO CHRIS JR.:
Zeffy.com/en-US/team/chris-crane-jr

OR...

🏁 RICHIE CRANE
BID/DONATE TO RICHIE:
Zeffy.com/en-US/team/rich-crane

A little Crane vs. Crane competition sounds like fun to us. It's even the norm around here.

But there is something MUCH more important than which 711 gets to start on the front row.

Every dollar raised goes toward three incredible organizations:

🧩 Racers 4 Autism — Promoting autism awareness, acceptance and opportunity.

🧩 Bring On The Spectrum — A local regional resource and community center.

🧩 Autism Society Greater Hudson Region, NY — Providing local support, programs and advocacy.

So whether you're Team Chris Jr. or Team Richie, every bid is accomplishing something much bigger than earning a starting position.

Of course...

We're still racers.

And racers like to WIN. 😂🏁

So pick your Crane, hit their auction link and let's see if 711 Nation can put a 711 on the OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT ROW!

FRIDAY NIGHT RESULTS!

It was ALL HANDS ON DECK at Albany-Saratoga Speedway as the 711 Racing crew rolled into The Great Race Place with Chris Jr. and Connor in the Sportsman — while Chris Jr. pulled DOUBLE DUTY alongside Richie in the Pro Stocks!

And there was definitely no shortage of action.

🏁 SPORTSMAN

🟠 CHRIS JR. — 711C

Chris Jr made some changes before hot laps, and was a little off to start the night, timing 30th fastest overall.

🔥 Heat Race:
Started 9th ➡️ Finished 6th

🏁 Feature:
Started 22nd ➡️ FINISHED 8TH!

Chris Jr. went to WORK in the feature, charging through the field from 22nd all the way to 8th — a 14-POSITION GAIN that earned him the HARD CHARGER AWARD!

⚫ CONNOR — 711X

Connor timed 25th fastest overall in hot laps before putting together a solid qualifying run.

🔥 Heat Race:
Started 3rd ➡️ Finished 2nd

🏁 Feature:
Started 5th ➡️ Finished 5th

Connor hung tough inside the top five and brought it home with another TOP-FIVE FINISH!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏁 PRO STOCK

And this is where things got a little interesting.

🟠 CHRIS JR. — DOUBLE DUTY

Richie wanted to shake down his car after the repairs from the Brewerton flip, so Chris Jr. took Richie's car out for hot laps and timed 10th fastest overall!

Chris Jr. would start 5th in the heat race — his first time racing a Pro Stock at Albany-Saratoga Speedway — and finish 6th.

🏁 Feature:
Started 16th ➡️ Finished 11th

That result definitely doesn't tell the whole story!

An early spin, getting parked on the inside wall, and going to the tail TWICE made for one eventful feature. But Chris Jr. kept digging and battled his way back to an 11th-place finish!

⚫ RICHIE — 711

Since Chris Jr. had Richie's car for hot laps, Richie jumped into the car Chris Jr. was originally going to race.

How fast was he?

WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!

Transponder issues said we're keeping that information a mystery — but we CAN tell you the car looked good!

🔥 Heat Race:
Started 4th ➡️ Finished 2nd

🏁 Feature:
Started 6th ➡️ Finished 7th

A solid night for Richie and another good run for the entire 711 team!

Four entries.
Two divisions.
One Hard Charger Award.
A whole lot of passing.
And maybe just a little bit of chaos mixed in.

That's a wrap from The Great Race Place for 711 Racing!

As always, a HUGE thank you to our crew for everything they do to keep these cars on the track, and thank you to our sponsors, family, friends, fans and everyone who continues to support 711 Racing!
