PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Terrance wins Mohawk track title

Press-Republican

AKWESASNE — Dale "The Natural" Planck of Cortland put on a clinic, capturing the Frenchie's Chevrolet Labor Day Shootout 50 for the 358 Modifieds Friday night at Mohawk International Raceway (MIR).

Planck lapped the entire field up to fifth place for his third win of the season. The outcome enabled Carey Terrance of Akwesasne to capture his first career Mohawk 358 Modified championship. Terrance won the Cornwall Speedway championship previously but had never won the championship at his home track.

Todd Stone of Middlebury, Vt. used a fourth-place finish to win the Frenchie's Chevrolet American Revolution mini-series title and capture the bonus money.

The dominating performance sets up Planck and his teammate and car owner Carey Terrance as two of the top drivers to challenge for the Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified championship, with the next series race set for Sunday at Cornwall Speedway (Jiffy 100).

In other action on Friday night, all three newly crowned track champions also won their respective feature events: Chris Raabe (Napanee, Ont.) won his 14th DIRTcar Sportsman feature, Ricky Thompson (Akwesasne) got by Louie Jackson (Akwesasne) with two laps to go to get his fifth feature win and secure his first career Pro Stock championship, while Joey Foster (West Stockholm) won his 12th Bandit feature and scored back-to-back Bandit track championships.

Mohawk International Raceway will kick back into action with a season ending triple-header championship weekend on Friday, Sept.17 through Sunday, Sept. 19.
