STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn. — Ronnie Williams captured the 54th running of the Spring Sizzler modified race Sunday at Stafford Motor Speedway.
Williams methodically worked his way toward the front of the field and he had to hold off a furious two-way challenge from Tyler Chapman and Austin Beers over the final five laps.
Williams took the lead from Chapman in the outside lane on the lap 90 restart with Chapman taking second. Beers was third.
Beers made a move to the outside of Williams with four laps to go and they dueled wheel to wheel with Chapman right behind them in third.
Williams and Beers dueled side by side until the final lap when Williams got clear into the lead. Going into turn three on the final lap, Beers made a move to the inside of both Williams and Chapman and nearly passed them both but he came up just short as Williams took the checkered flag.
Chapman edged Beers at the line for second with Stephen Kopcik fourth and Ryan Newman rounding out the top five.
The finish:
Ronnie Williams, Tyler Chapman, Austin Beers, Stephen Kopcik, Ryan Newman, Jake Johnson, Matt Swanson, Andrew Molleur, Teddy Hodgdon, Brett Meservey, Michael Cristopher Jr., Chris Pasteryak, David Arute, Cam McDermott, Ron silk, Keith Rocco, Eric Goodale, George Bessette Jr., Noah Korner, Woody Pitkat, Jon McKennedy, Dylan Izzo, Nickolas Hovey, Chris Finocchario, Trevor Catalano.
