MIDDLETOWN, NY – October 23, 2011 – Danny Johnson was not to be denied in the 50th edition of the Eastern States 200 at Orange County Fair Speedway. Two red-flag periods, a bevy of cautions, and nearly 140-laps of work on his right-rear Hoosier tire would not stop Johnson from claiming the $20,000 top prize. (CLICK HERE FOR FULL RACE REPORT)
