Article: Are the frail destined to fail? Frailty index as predictor of surgical morbidity and mortality in the elderly[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: America's aging population has led to an increase in the number of elderly patients necessitating emergency general surgery. Previous studies have demonstrated that increased frailty is a predictor of outcomes in medicine and surgical patients. We hypothesized that use of a modification of the Canadian Study of Health and Aging Frailty Index would be a predictor of morbidity and mortality in patients older than 60 years undergoing emergency general surgery. Data were obtained from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Participant Use Files database in compliance with the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Data Use Agreement. We selected all emergency cases in patients older than 60 years performed by general surgeons from 2005 to 2009. The effect of increasing frailty on multiple outcomes including wound infection, wound occurrence, any infection, any occurrence, and mortality was then evaluated. Total sample size was 35,334 patients. As the modified frailty index increased, associated increases occurred in wound infection, wound occurrence, any infection, any occurrence, and mortality. Logistic regression of multiple variables demonstrated that the frailty index was associated with increased mortality with an odds ratio of 11.70 (p < 0.001). Frailty index is an important predictive variable in emergency general surgery patients older than 60 years. The modified frailty index can be used to evaluate risk of both morbidity and mortality in these patients. Frailty index will be a valuable preoperative risk assessment tool for the acute care surgeon. Level of Evidence: Prognostic study, level II.06/2012; 72(6):1526-30; discussion 1530-1.

ABSTRACT: We sought to pilot and initiate validation of a surgical drainage model. We designed a laboratory model to compare Jackson-Pratt surgical drains using 3 soups to emulate body fluids of serous, purulent, and necrotic debris. Each drain was trialed with each of the 3 fluids. Time and completeness of drainage were recorded. A survey of surgical residents and faculty was performed for convenience sampling. Under serous conditions, the round Jackson-Pratt drained the cavity quicker, but left a larger residual volume of fluid. Under purulent conditions, the round Jackson-Pratt was slower and drained less fluid. With debris fluid, the round Jackson-Pratt was quicker with less residual fluid whereas the flat type clogged each time. Survey results showed adequate concordance with surgeons in agreement on soup choice. The Jackson-Pratt drains perform differently depending on the drainage situation. The surgical community requires improved drain data to drive practice patterns.American journal of surgery 03/2012; 203(3):388-91; discussion 391.

ABSTRACT: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program collects information related to procedures in the form of the work relative value unit (RVU) and current procedural terminology (CPT) code. We propose and evaluate a fully automated nonparametric learning approach that maps individual CPT codes to perioperative risk. National Surgical Quality Improvement Program participant use file data for 2005-2006 were used to develop 2 separate support vector machines (SVMs) to learn the relationship between CPT codes and 30-day mortality or morbidity. SVM parameters were determined using cross-validation. SVMs were evaluated on participant use file data for 2007 and 2008. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCs) were each compared with the respective AUROCs for work RVU and for standard CPT categories. We then compared the AUROCs for multivariable models, including preoperative variables, RVU, and CPT categories, with and without the SVM operation scores. SVM operation scores had AUROCs between 0.798 and 0.822 for mortality and between 0.745 and 0.758 for morbidity on the participant use file used for both training (2005-2006) and testing (2007 and 2008). This was consistently higher than the AUROCs for both RVU and standard CPT categories (p < 0.001). AUROCs of multivariable models were higher for 30-day mortality and morbidity when SVM operation scores were included. This difference was not significant for mortality but statistically significant, although small, for morbidity. Nonparametric methods from artificial intelligence can translate CPT codes to aid in the assessment of perioperative risk. This approach is fully automated and can complement the use of work RVU or traditional CPT categories in multivariable risk adjustment models like the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.Journal of the American College of Surgeons 06/2011; 212(6):1086-1093.e1.

ABSTRACT: Preoperative steroid use has been associated with increased postoperative complications. We sought to establish these risks using data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). NSQIP public use files from 2005 to 2008 were analyzed for preoperative steroid use and postoperative adverse events. Of 635,265 patients identified, 20,434 (3.2%) used steroids preoperatively. Superficial surgical site infections (SSI) increased from 2.9% to 5% using steroids (odds ratio, 1.724). Deep SSIs increased from .8% to 1.8% (odds ratio, 2.353). Organ/space SSIs and dehiscence increased 2 to 3-fold with steroid use (odds ratios, 2.469 and 3.338, respectively). Mortality increased almost 4-fold (1.6% to 6.0%; odds ratio, 3.920). All results were significant (P < .001). Previous concerns related to surgical risks in patients on chronic steroid regimens appear valid. These results may assist in counselling patients regarding the increased risk of surgery. They may also help the surgeon plan and modify the procedure if possible.American journal of surgery 03/2011; 201(3):305-8; discussion 308-9. DOI:10.1016/j.amjsurg.2010.09.018 · 2.36 Impact Factor
Article: Octogenarian Abdominal Surgical Emergencies: Not So Grim a Problem With the Acute Care Surgery Model?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: As the aging population continues to increase, the surgical needs of the elderly will increase. The acute care surgery model has been developed in which the trauma team also manages all general surgical emergencies to improve patient outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed our elderly acute care surgery population during the past 5 years to determine the variables affecting major abdominal surgery outcomes. Patients aged 80 years and older who received an emergent major abdominal operation by our Acute Care Surgery team between July 2000 and November 2006 were included. We assessed after-hours operations, length of stay, duration of operation, gender, comorbidities, and mortality. Administrative, operating room, and corporate databases were used for demographics, comorbidities, admission logistics, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, and mortality. We performed SPSS, chi2, and logistic regression analyses. A total of 183 operations were performed with a mortality of 15%. Significant predictors were ASA score and female gender, with increasing ASA scores leading to worse outcomes and women faring worse than men as an independent variable. Neither operative duration nor off-hours surgery was associated with increased mortality. This is the first study to report mortality data and expected survival curves for major abdominal surgery in the octogenarian population. Our data prove that it is safer than previously thought to operate on the elderly. Our mortality data and survival curves provide real data for the surgeon to be able to risk stratify and discuss predicted outcomes with consultants, patients, and families.The Journal of trauma 11/2009; 67(5):983-9.

Article: Implementation of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program: critical steps to success for surgeons and hospitals.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP), as administered by the American College of Surgeons, became available to private sector hospitals across the United States in 2004. The program works to improve surgical outcomes by providing high-quality, risk-adjusted data to surgeons at a given hospital to stimulate discussion and define target areas for improvement. Although the NSQIP began in the early 1990s with Veterans Administration hospitals and expanded to private sector hospitals nearly 5 years ago, the "how to" process for NSQIP implementation has been left to individual institutions to manage on their own. The NSQIP was instituted at a large tertiary hospital in 2005, identifying through experience 12 critical steps to help surgeons and hospitals implement the NSQIP.American Journal of Medical Quality 08/2009; 24(6):474-9.

Article: Use of human acellular dermal matrix in complex and contaminated abdominal wall reconstructions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Few good surgical options exist for the repair of complex anterior abdominal wall defects, particularly those in which bacterial contamination is present. The use of prosthetic mesh increases complication rates when the mesh is placed directly over viscera or when the surgical site is contaminated from a pre-existing infection or enteric spillage. The use of an acellular dermal matrix (ADM), which becomes vascularized and remodeled into autologous tissue after implantation, may represent a low-morbidity alternative to prosthetic mesh products in these complex settings. This study examined our experience with ADM in the reconstruction of contaminated abdominal wall defects. Patients undergoing abdominal wall reconstructions in the face of contamination with ADM between May 2002 and December 2005 underwent retrospective chart review. Demographics, indications for ADM placement, plane of implantation, complications, and follow-up data were evaluated. Sixty-seven patients were identified. The indications for ADM placement included incarcerated hernias, infected mesh, fistulae, early/delayed abdominal wall reconstruction after intra-abdominal catastrophe or trauma, dehiscence/evisceration, and spillage of enteric contents. The ADM was positioned either above the fascia or beneath the fascia or was sutured directly to the fascial edges. Sixteen patients developed a wound infection; the majority of these were superficial and required only local wound care, 5 required some further surgical intervention, and 2 required removal of the ADM. Twelve patients developed recurrent hernias. The mean follow-up time for the study population was 10.6 months. ADM can be used safely and effectively as an alternative to traditional mesh products for abdominal wall reconstructions, even in the setting of contaminated fields.American journal of surgery 04/2007; 193(3):360-3; discussion 363.

Article: Selective management of penetrating truncal injuries: is emergency department discharge a reasonable goal?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We undertook this retrospective review to examine the appropriateness of a protocol for the selective emergency department (ED) workup of asymptomatic penetrating truncal injuries. Records of consecutive patients presenting to our urban Level I trauma center with penetrating truncal injuries between January 1, 1997 and September 2000 were reviewed. Data obtained included: patient demographics, ED workup, ED disposition, complications, and follow-up. Selective ED workup included hospital triple-contrast CT, admission for observation, and local wound exploration for selected anterior abdominal stab wounds. Four hundred fifty-five patients presented with penetrating truncal wounds during the study period. One hundred ninety-four patients were taken directly to the operating room, 136 were discharged based solely on physical examination and plain radiographs, 18 were admitted for observation without ED workup, and 107 had selective ED workup. Sixty-two patients (58% of those selectively worked up) were discharged home after negative ED workup, 18 were managed operatively, and 27 were managed nonoperatively. There were two missed injuries that were later identified and managed with no complications. Follow-up was available on 66 per cent of ED workup patients (range 1-42 months). We conclude that selective management of certain penetrating truncal injuries appears appropriate. Patients having a negative selective ED workup can be safely discharged thereby avoiding the cost and resource utilization associated with hospital admission.The American surgeon 04/2003; 69(3):266-72; discussion 273. · 0.92 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: With decreasing violent crime and an increase in the use of nonoperative management techniques the viability of urban trauma centers has come into question. In addition the workload and productivity for surgeons at such centers may be threatened. The current study examines the changing characteristics of patients admitted to an urban Level I trauma center over a 5-year period and examines factors that may affect trauma surgeon utilization. We reviewed all trauma registry admissions from January 1995 through December 1999. Data were collected regarding patient demographics, mechanism of injury, diagnostic workup, injury character and severity, operative procedures, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS, and patient disposition. Admissions declined 23 per cent over the 5-year period. Fewer patients were admitted to general practice units whereas more patients required ICU admission. Over the study period both mean patient age and mean Injury Severity Score increased significantly. Gunshot wound admissions declined by 45 per cent, but the percentage of those admitted who required operation rose 17 per cent. Number of operations for trauma performed by general surgeons was unchanged over time. Hospital LOS declined over time, and ICU LOS was unchanged. Although trauma center admissions--particularly those due to violent crime--are on the decline the operative productivity of trauma surgeons has remained unchanged. Patients admitted to the hospital are older and more severely injured; they undeniably require a higher level of care and service coordination. Urban trauma centers remain viable and are in fact more efficient in caring for sicker patients.The American surgeon 05/2002; 68(4):319-22; discussion 322-3. · 0.92 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The debate over the use of diagnostic angiography (DA) to exclude arterial injury in penetrating extremity trauma (PET) continues. This review evaluates our current protocol for PET and identifies indications for DA. Patients presenting to our urban Level I trauma center between January 1997 and September 2000 with PET were included. Demographic data, emergency department (ED) course, and patient follow-up were reviewed. ED evaluation directed by physical examination (PE) included Doppler pressure indices (DPI) and DA if indicated. A total of 538 patients had PET injuries. Twenty (4%) patients with hard signs of vascular injury were taken to the operating room. Ninety-one (17%) patients without vascular compromise underwent operative procedures or were admitted for other injuries. One hundred twenty-three (23%) patients with nonproximity wounds were discharged. Four DAs were performed for abnormal DPI with no change in management. Three hundred patients with a negative PE and normal DPI were discharged from the ED. Follow-up was available on 51 per cent of these patients (range 1-49 months) with no missed injuries identified. We conclude that PE with DPI is an appropriate way to identify significant vascular injuries from PET. Patients with normal PE and DPI can be safely discharged. DA is only indicated for asymptomatic patients with abnormal DPI.The American surgeon 04/2002; 68(3):269-74. · 0.92 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Emergency lung resection following penetrating chest trauma has been associated with mortality rates as high as 55-100%. Pulmonary tractotomy is advocated as a rapid alternative method of dealing with deep lobar injuries. We reviewed our experience with resection and tractotomy to determine whether method of management affects mortality or if patient presentation is more critical in determining outcome. A retrospective review of all patients with chest injury seen at an urban Level I trauma center from 2/89-1/99 was performed. All patients undergoing parenchymal surgery were included. Records were abstracted for grade of injury, type of resection, presenting systolic blood pressure (SBP), temperature, Injury Severity Score (ISS), operative time, and estimated blood loss (EBL). Mortality and thoracic complications were compared between groups. Two hundred forty-six of 2736 patients with penetrating chest trauma underwent thoracotomy, with 70 (28%) requiring some form of lung resection. There were 11 (15.7%) deaths. Patients who died had lower SBP (53 +/- 32 mm Hg vs 77 +/- 28 mm Hg), lower temperature (32.5 degrees +/- 1.3 degrees C vs 34.3 degrees +/- 1.2 degrees C), higher ISS (33 +/- 13 vs 23 +/- 9), and greater EBL (9.8 +/- 4.3 liters vs 2.8 +/- 2.1 liters) compared with survivors (p < 0.05 for all). Mortality was also increased in the presence of cardiac injury (33% with vs 12% without) and the need for laparotomy (26% with vs 9% without) (p < 0.05 for all). Tractotomy was associated with an increased incidence of chest complications (67% vs 24%, p = 0.05) compared with lobectomy with no difference in presenting physiology, operative time, or mortality. Lung resection for penetrating injuries can be done safely with morbidity and mortality rates lower than previously reported. Patient outcome is related to severity of injury rather than type of resection. Tractotomy is associated with a higher incidence of infectious complications and is not associated with shortened operative times or survival.The Journal of trauma 12/2001; 51(6):1092-5; discussion 1096-7.

ABSTRACT: Primary venorrhaphy for traumatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury has been criticized because of the potential for stenosis, thrombosis, and embolism. A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the morbidity and outcome of this method. Thirty-eight patients at our institution had traumatic injuries to the IVC between 1994 and 1999. Thirty (79%) were from firearms, five (13%) from stab wounds, and three (8%) from blunt trauma. Six patients died in the emergency department. The remaining 32 patients underwent exploratory celiotomy with 23 survivors and nine intraoperative deaths for a mortality rate of 28 per cent (nine of 32). Vascular control was achieved by manual compression in 44 per cent and by local clamping directly above and below the injury in 38 per cent. All repairs were by primary venorrhaphy, and no patient was treated with patch angioplasty or venous reconstruction. Three patients had caval ligation. Follow-up IVC imaging in 11 patients revealed that the IVC was patent in eight, narrowed in two, and thrombosed below the renal veins in one. One patient developed a pulmonary embolus. The vast majority of traumatic injuries to the IVC can be managed by direct compression or local clamping and primary venorrhaphy. Direct repairs are associated with a low thrombosis and embolic complication rate.The American surgeon 04/2001; 67(3):207-13; discussion 213-4. · 0.92 Impact Factor
Article: Physical examination plus chest radiography in penetrating periclavicular trauma: The appropriate trigger for angiography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine the role of physical examination, chest radiography, and angiography in the management of periclavicular penetrating trauma. A retrospective review of the last 100 patients who suffered periclavicular penetrating trauma was performed. Patients with hard signs of vascular injury went either directly to the operating room or first to the angiography suite depending on their hemodynamic stability. All others underwent angiography and subsequent intervention if needed. The results were examined to determine the role of arteriography in the absence of hard signs of vascular injury. Of the 100 patients in the study, there were 81 without hard signs of vascular injury. All underwent angiography, with 11 "occult" injuries discovered. Each of these patients exhibited some physical examination or chest radiographic finding that may have predicted the presence of vascular injury. Using clinical criteria, physical examination was found to have a sensitivity of 82%, a specificity of 91%, a positive predictive value of 60%, and a negative predictive value of 96%. When coupled with the chest radiographic findings, these numbers were 100%, 80%, 44%, and 100%, respectively. Using these criteria would have eliminated the need for angiography in 56 (69%) patients and would not have missed any injuries. In patients with periclavicular penetrating trauma, a normal physical examination and chest radiographic excludes vascular injury. Proximity alone does not warrant angiography, although the test may be useful for therapeutic interventions or to plan operative approaches. A prospective study is essential to validate these findings.The Journal of trauma 01/2001; 49(6):1029-33. DOI:10.1097/00005373-200012000-00009 · 2.96 Impact Factor
Article: Clearing the cervical spine in victims of blunt assault to the head and neck: what is necessary?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A number of guidelines have been proposed to aid in determining the need for radiologic evaluation of the cervical spine (c-spine) in victims of blunt trauma. Mechanism of injury has not been shown to be an independent predictor of injury or the lack thereof. The current study was undertaken to determine the incidence of clinically relevant c-spine injuries in patients who sustained a blunt assault to the head and neck. The trauma registry of an urban Level 1 trauma center was used to identify patients who suffered a blunt assault to the head and neck and were admitted to the hospital over a 30-month period. One hundred two patients were identified. Only 8 patients met criteria for clinical clearance of the c-spine. Eighty patients were unable to be evaluated because of head injury or intoxicants; 14 patients had neck pain on initial examination. These 94 patients underwent plain film examination of their c-spine. Twelve required CT scanning to supplement visualization. The possibility of ligamentous injury was investigated by MRI or flexion/extension radiographs in 26 patients. No clinically significant c-spine injuries were identified. Although many victims of a blunt assault to the head and neck region may have a decreased LOC or neck pain, the likelihood of a ligamentous injury is so low that plain-film X-ray evaluation of the c-spine is all that is necessary to rule out injury in this patient population.The American surgeon 05/2000; 66(4):326-30; discussion 330-1.

ABSTRACT: Although sternal fractures after blunt chest trauma are markers for significant impact, the fracture itself is generally not associated with any specific wound complications. Mediastinal abscess and sternal osteomyelitis rarely occur after blunt trauma or cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Management of such complications is difficult, and requires a spectrum of operative procedures that range from simple closure to muscle flap reconstruction. The trauma registry of a Level I trauma center was used to identify patients suffering a sternal fracture between January of 1994 and August of 1997. Records were reviewed for the mechanism of injury, length of hospital stay, and posttraumatic mediastinal abscess. Twenty-six patients were identified with sternal fracture. No clinically significant cardiac or aortic complications were noted. Three patients, all with a history of intravenous drug abuse and requiring central venous access in the emergency room, developed methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus mediastinitis. Sternal re-wiring and placement of an irrigation system successfully treated all three patients. Posttraumatic mediastinal abscess is an uncommon complication of blunt trauma in general and sternal fracture in particular. It can be recognized by the development of sternal instability. Risk factors include the presence of hematoma, intravenous drug abuse, and source of staphylococcal infection. Treatment with early debridement and irrigation can avoid the need for muscle flap closure.The Journal of trauma 10/1999; 47(3):551-4. DOI:10.1097/00005373-199909000-00022 · 2.96 Impact Factor

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (NNS) -- PORTSMOUTH, Va. (NNS) - Naval Medical Center Portsmouth celebrated the 143rd birthday of the United States Navy Medical Corps with a cake-cutting ceremony March 7.
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Rear Adm. Elaine Wagner, NMCP commander, Capt. James Hancock, NMCP deputy commander and HMCM (EXW/FMF/SW) Aaron VanDall, deputy command master chief, expressed their gratitude and admiration for the skilled service of the Medical Corps. In attendance were members of the Dental Corps, Nurse Corps, and Medical Service Corps who read birthday messages from their Chiefs of the individual corps.
"The strength and diversity of our Corps is represented in so many ways- from a Navy pediatrician taking care of the child of a Sailor deployed in harm's way, a trauma surgeon stabilizing a fallen service member in Kandahar, a psychiatrist treating a Marine suffering the invisible wounds of war, a researcher making great strides in malaria vaccine development, an ophthalmologist providing eyesight-saving care to the citizens of several nations during a Pacific Partnership cruise of the MERCY, to a faculty member training the next generation of our Corps at the Uniformed Services University," said Rear Adm. Raquel Bono, Chief of the Navy Medical Corps in her birthday remarks, read by Cmdr. Jared Antevil at the ceremony.
Established March 3, 1871, the Medical Corps is composed of 4,300 active and reserve members, with 23 specialties and nearly 200 subspecialties. Following the remarks, the most junior and senior members of the Medical Corps at NMCP, Capt. Jose DeLaPena and Lt. Alice Blizman, cut the cake.
"I felt very honored and thankful for the opportunity to be a part of such a ceremony honoring an organization so rich in history and so bigger than any one person," said Blizman of the honor of cutting the cake. "I'm extremely excited to get to the fleet this summer and fulfill my lifelong dream of helping people and serving alongside the Sailors and Marines providing care."
The Medical Corps has come a long way since its humble beginnings. It's cared for service members through the Spanish-American War, two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, all while adding to a legacy of superb care. The personnel that make up today's corps build on a history of advancing medical research, education and training.
"Our Medical Corps personnel are globally engaged. They provide the highest quality of care to those they serve whether it's on, above, or below the sea, at home or overseas in faraway lands," said Vice Admiral Matthew L. Nathan, U.S. Navy surgeon general and chief, U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, in his birthday remarks. "They meet the mission - from kinetic warfare to humanitarian assistance, to research and development - anytime, anywhere."

Bill and Kim Shea purchase Speedway
A look back at the 2014 season at
"The Action Track of the East".
Check out the Benefits of competing in the Whelen All- American series
November 29,2014
UTICA-ROME SPEEDWAY CLOSES THE 2014 SEASON AND THE COLE ERA WITH SEASON ENDING BANQUET VERNON, NY- The 2014 season at the Utica-Rome Speedway officially came to a close this past Saturday, November 29, at the Turning Stone Casino and Resort in Verona at the annual Awards Banquet. Nearly 400 attendees looked on as the top 10 were honored in the four weekly divisions of Modifieds, Sportsman, Pro Stocks, and Pure Stocks. Before moving into the awards portion of the night, new track owners Bill and Kim Shea took to the stage with Bill introducing himself and his wife to the crowd and thanked them for supporting the speedway in the past and how much they looked forward to carrying on the rich tradition of the speedway. He also thanked Gene and Gloria Cole building the speedway to what it is today.
Race Director John Tiff was the next on stage and touched a little on the 2014 season before moving on to the plans for the upcoming 2015 season. He stated that the Modifieds will go back to the traditional body without the sail panels on them and said the decision on what tire brand to be used is still pending. He also stated that the 602 Crate Sportsman will be a weekly division along, running separate from the Open Sportsman. The Pro Stocks and Pure Stocks will be a combined division in 2015 and the rules for that division will be released shortly.
MODIFIEDS AND 602 SPORTSMAN WILL BE ON HOOSIER TIRES IN 2015 AT UTICA-ROME SPEEDWAY Since 2005, American Racer has been the official tire for the Modifieds at the Utica-Rome Speedway but in 2015 that will change. Hoosier Tire will be the tire brand for the Modifieds and 602 Sportsman for the upcoming season. Since the announcement in mid November of their intention to purchase the Utica-Rome Speedway, Bill and Kim Shea have been hard at work to continue the tradition that outgoing owner Gene Cole set forth and make the Vernon oval a destination for drivers and fan alike. Going back to the traditional body style in the Modifieds was their first step and now going to the Hoosier will align the speedway with other tracks in the region, allowing drivers to go between tracks with few changes. "As a car owner, I appreciate the maintenance that goes into these cars when racing on multiple nights," stated Bill Shea. "By putting ourselves on the same tire as the other tracks in the area, we hope to make it easier for drivers and crews to give us a try on Sunday nights." The compound that will be allowed weekly is the D300 tire which is used at the majority of the other tracks that use Hoosiers. "Us switching to Hoosier has nothing to do with the product or service provided by Fred Woodworth and the rest of the staff at Lias Tire," continued Bill. "It is because of the environment we are in now with the tracks nearest to us and where we draw many of our weekly competitors as they are all on Hoosiers now. Fred and Matt Brandle have been great to deal with and the American Racer was a great program to be a part of but I feel the change was necessary to bolster our weekly program." Despite the change in Modifieds, and the fact that the 602 Sportsman are also on Hoosiers, the open Sportsman division will remain on American Racers. With every other track that runs an open Sportsman program on the American Racer tire, this will allows competitors in this division to travel with little changes to their cars. The Pro/Street Stock division will be allowed to run the American Racer Pro Stock or Hoosier DIRTcar Pro Stock tires on a weekly basis. For more information call the speedway office at (315)829-4557. All questions concerning rules can be directed to Bernie Lukas at (315)271-3068.
January 7,2015
2015 season Kicks off Sunday April 19
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 6, 2015) – Stewart Friesen is no stranger to historical feats. If your name is ahead of NASCAR Hall of Famer Richie Evans on any list, you've had a remarkable career. The all-time feature wins leader in Utica-Rome Speedway's famous history added yet another feather in his cap in 2014 when he captured the seventh track championship of his still-young career. Friesen, from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, posted seven wins and 18 top fives in the 358 Modified division at Utica-Rome to edge Matt Sheppard by 10 points in what was his fifth-consecutive title campaign. This one was not like the others, however. It was his first Utica-Rome title under the NASCAR banner. And it also netted his first career NASCAR Whelen All-American Series New York state crown. Utica-Rome has a storied history with NASCAR, but the half-mile dirt oval in Vernon, New York, hadn't been sanctioned by the governing body since 1998. The track's return to NASCAR in 2014 provided a fresh perspective for Friesen. "The national recognition racing under the NASCAR banner was pretty awesome," Friesen. "And there was a little added incentive in racing up to the New York state title too." Although he had another Utica-Rome title in hand, Friesen figured he was going to have to settle for second place in state standings until it was suggested he could run on the last Sunday of Airborne Park Speedway's NASCAR points season and make one last push. He was able to secure a ride and registered an eighth place finish at the Plattsburgh, New York, asphalt oval, which was enough to take home the NASCAR state title by nine points over Airborne track champ Nick Heywood. The first milestone the 31-year-old Friesen reached in 2014 came on June 30 when he notched career feature win No. 50 at Utica-Rome. He passed previous track record-holder Dale Planck's total of 42 toward the end of the 2013 season. The late Evans' 33 wins from the asphalt era still rank third on Utica Rome's list. "To be up there with those guys is a tremendous accomplishment, and it's something that our team is very, very proud of," Friesen said. Modified legends Evans and Jerry Cook, a NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee, both hailed from nearby Rome and called Utica-Rome their home track. Their impact is still at the forefront of weekly competition at the facility. "They fly the [Evans] orange No. 61 flag in the infield there every week, there's the big Richie Evans event there every year, and obviously they do stuff to recognize Jerry Cook as well," Friesen said. "It's a very historic track." Friesen's 2014 success came behind the wheel of his No. 1 Westmoreland Golf Club Chevrolet, which is owned by Tom Cullen and led by crew chief Loren Ward. Erick Mack and Mike Thurston were also integral parts of the championship team, which received associate sponsorship from C.C. Performance Engines, Teo Pro Car and Fox Shocks. Friesen's team remains intact and ready to continue the run of championship in 2015. "We'll be back at Utica-Rome every week, just trying to keep on going," Friesen said. "We've got a great team, everybody is still together and morale is high, and we're going to try and come out and defend the best we can."
Friesen Adds To Upstate New York Legacy
Utica-Rome Champ Also Takes Home NASCAR State Title
February 13,2015 VERNON, NY- With the 2015 racing season just a couple months away, Utica-Rome Speedway has released its tentative schedule for the upcoming campaign. Not only is another season of weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing planned, but the track will be visited by some of the top touring series in the nation.
As has been the case the past several years, two big Modified events will bookend the summer months with the annual running of the Victoria 200 Weekend on May 24 and 25, and the New Yorker 200 Weekend on September 6 and 7. Both events will be 100 lap contests and pay $10,000 to win as part of the Race of Champions Modified Series. The mid-summer Night of Legends will also return on Sunday August 16, this time honoring previous track owner and promoter Gene Cole. Not only was Gene Cole the caretaker of the rich history at Utica-Rome Speedway, but he helped elevate it into one of the top weekly tracks in the region. Like last year, this event will see the Modifieds compete in two 50 lap events, each paying $5,000 to win each. New this season is a midweek special during Super DIRT Week on Tuesday October 6. The Modifieds and 360 Sprints will both be in action for $3,000 to win events. The Super DIRTcar Series is slated to make its return as well for a special midweek show on Wednesday June 24.
Sprint cars will again have a heavy presence at the Vernon oval as the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints will be on hand for their three traditional holiday weekend stops on Memorial Day Weekend, Independence Day Weekend, and Labor Day Weekend. The Cole Cup, a huge paying event for the 360 Sprints, will return and will again pay $10,000 to win on September 12. The 360 Sprints will also be in action for previously mentioned Super DIRT Week special. The CRSA 305 Sprint tour will also make its return on July 26. Another huge sprint event tentatively scheduled is the World of Outlaw Sprints on Sunday October 25. This will bring some of the best Sprint Car drivers in the world to the track and very well could decide the series champion.
The 602 Sportsman, added weekly this season, will have several high paying events of their own. On Monday May 25, the newly formed Upstate Sportsman Alliance and GRIT Sportsman Series will run a combined event. The GRIT Sportsman Series returns as part of the Night of Legends on August 16 while the USA Sportsman Series comes back as part of the New Yorker on September 7. All three of these events will pay $1,000 to win each.
The GO Nuclear Late Model Series will again tackle the "Action Track" for the second running of the Gnome Cup. Also returning this year are the Mod Lites with two shows, on May 3 and October 6.
The season is set to kick off on April 19 when Tri Valley Beverage present the Season Opener featuring Twin 20's for the Modifieds plus 602 Sportsman, Open Sportsman, and Pro Street Stocks.
Utica Rome Speedway releases tentative 2015 schedule
Countdown to the First
Green Flag of 2015
February 23,2015 - A winter trip to Volusia Speedway in Florida is something many race teams use as an excuse to escape the cold weather of the Northeast and try to build some momentum for the upcoming season. This past week, three of the top four point earners in the Utica-Rome Speedway made the journey and by the end of the week, fans knew that they were there as all three were competitive all week long.
Larry Wight, the hard charging youngster out of the Gypsum Express stable, overcame two nights of being the rear of the field to take home the 2015 DIRTcar Nationals Big Block Modified Championship and earning the âBig Gatorâ trophy that comes with the title. On the opening night of competition last Wednesday, Wight started 14th and made a late race pass of Billy Pauch to finish the evening in the fourth spot. Night two saw Wight score another top 10 finish as he posted a seventh place finish. Things really got interesting in the final two nights as an incident with Pauch saw Wight having to restart in the rear. He didnât stay for long, however, as he roared through the field to net an impressive third place finish. Starting scratch on the final night for changing cars before the feature, the Phoenix NY native worked his way up to seventh at the checkered which provided just enough points for Wight to grab his first Florida title.
2014 and seven time Utica-Rome Speedway champion Stewart Friesen made his annual trek to the Sunshine State with the Tom and Roxann Cullen owned machine looking to make it two âBig Gatorsâ in a row, but by the end of the week, he would fall just three points shy of the title. Friesen opened up the four nights of action with a seventh place finish and then followed that up by a dominating victory on the second night. Night three saw Friesen challenge eventual winner Rick Laubach for the lead but he had to settle for the runner up position. The final night of action saw Friesen end his evening pit side which ended his shot the championship.
Matt Sheppard, the 2002 Utica-Rome Speedway champion and the runner up the past two seasons, also made the trip to Volusia. Although he showed the needed speed in all the events, he didnât get the finishes he was looking for or needed to grab the title. Sheppard opened up the four race series with a sixth place finish and chased Friesen to the line on night number two. A fourth place finish on night three would put Sheppard in the mix for the title going into the final night but mechanical issues ended his run prematurely and wiped out any thoughts of taking the title. Sheppard would ended the Florida series in the fourth spot in the points, just 12 markers back.
This trio of drivers are expected to continue to compete weekly at the Utica-Rome Speedway, along with a host of others, and battle for the lucrative NASCAR Whelen All-American Series track title. Last season, Friesen took home over $27,000 for winning the track title plus the NASCAR New York State title.
The Utica-Rome Speedway kicks off on April 19th with Twin 20's for the Modifieds plus a regular show of 602 Sportsman, Open Sportsman, and Pro Street Stocks.

A local business, the Stampede Steakhouse, is joining the Utica-Rome Speedway as a marketing partner in 2015. The partnership will include becoming the title sponsor for the weekly Modified division, which will now be known as the Stampede Steakhouse Modifieds.
Located on the corner of Routes 31 and 365 in Verona, the Stampede Steakhouse is easily recognizable by its iconic Bull out front, and is known as being one of the best dining experiences in the region. A family friendly atmosphere, daily lunch and dinner specials, drink specials, and weekly bands featuring some of the top local talent are just some of things you can expect at the Stampede Steakhouse. They are also available for corporate events and parties and also offer local business lunch deliveries. For more information, visit their official website at www.stampedesteakhouse.com or find them on Facebook.
The Stampede Steakhouse Modifieds will again race as part of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series in 2015, giving competitors an opportunity to compete for lucrative State and National titles. Last season, track champion Stewart Friesen not only took home $10,000 home for the Utica-Rome Speedway title, but another $17,000 in NASCAR money for winning the track and New York State NASCAR Whelen All-American Series title.
The 2015 season is slated to begin on Sunday April 19 with Twin 20 lap features for the Stampede Steakhouse Modifieds plus a regular show of 602 Sportsman, Open Sportsman, and Pro Street Stocks.
Countdown to the First Green Flag of 2015
While the racing season at the Utica-Rome Speedway doesn't officially kick off until Sunday April 19, however, that won't be the first on track action on the speedway. A chassis seminar and practice session will take place the week prior to the opener on Saturday April 11.

1:15AM, my friend/colleague leaving my apartment:
"Yeah, I'm heading out. You going to bed?"
"Nah, I've still got a few things I want to do."
"Why not sleep and get at them in the morning?"
"When I try to work late and I haven't covered everything, I do sloppy half-productive work and don't get anything done. And then sleep later or get less sleep. Both are bad, so why not just go to sleep now and get at it tomorrow?"
"Yeah, you're totally right, but I'm going to put some half-ass working hours in and do precisely what you described."
He shrugs. "Okay, see you on Monday."
Two hours later...
(Well, at least I got this blog post written)
Got a good question from a reader about sleep. One of my goals is to sleep less than 8 hours/night
Hello, and thanks for inviting your blog visitors to email you directly. I just came across your site today, and got some good reading out of your "top stories" list. What compelled me to write, though, was a trend I noticed on some of your "goals" posts: sleeping less than 8 hours per night.
It caught my attention, because at first glance it looks counter-intuitive. Yet I understand exactly what you mean.
Cut. Return to monologue later. Get to the askin':
How is it working out for you?
Along with exercise and nutrition, sleep is one of the primary determinants of your happiness and wellbeing. If you don't get good sleep, you will not only be tired, but also pessimistic, unmotivated, lazy or even depressed.
Research has shown that self control is a limited resource that is greatly diminished when you're exhausted. If you don't get good sleep, you are less likely to be productive and stick to your good habits (such as exercise). You are also more likely to do things that you know are bad for you (such as eating sweets).
Good REM sleep plays a critical role in the development of long term memories. If you're trying to learn anything at all, you better make sure you get enough high quality sleep.
Proper sleep is also essential for maintaining a robust immune system. If you want to be happy, healthy, smart and productive, you have must make sure you get good sleep.
Do you think that your physical health and emotional wellbeing can be considered in isolation? Think again. They both come from the same body, and they both require that you sleep well.
