By Megan Rowe - May 23, 2013

LaFargeville NY… Chapman’s Can-Am Motorsports Park entertained the first SUNY Canton Shootout event for the 2013 season on Wednesday, May 22^nd.

Nick Guererri continued to lead the way with Brandon Hagan, Taylor Caprara, Jessica Power and Josh Van Brocklin settling into the top five.
