Kelly Claims First DIRTcar 358 Mod Victory

LA FARGEVILLE, N.Y. – Jordan Kelly would lead a caution-free Whitesboro Plow Shop DIRTcar 358 Modified field to the checkered flag to bring home his first feature win at Can Am Speedway.

Cameron Black and Kelly paced the competitive field to the green flag. 

The track was plenty fast on this night as Kelly opened up a big lead, but behind him Shaun Shaw was on the move early. Shaw would take the second spot after a great battle with Scott Webb, Derek Webb and Billy Dunn. The race would go caution-free as Kelly remained in control while Shaw’s charge to the lead would slow as he found himself in a battle with Dunn, who came from 9th on the grid to challenge for the second spot.

With no cautions, a fast race track and a strong car, Jordan Kelly would finally achieve something he has wanted for a long time, as he scored his first ever DIRTcar 358 Modified feature win at Can Am. Shaw would finish a career best second over Dunn, Derek Webb and Ryan Bartlett.

The Donath Motorworx Limited Sportsman took three tries to get their 12 lap feature underway. Keegan Nier was looking to put the bad luck from the previous two weeks behind him, as he led early over Joe Trichilo and Owen Nier.

Keegan Nier was fast but Paul DeRuyter was charging forward and looking to score his 4th win in a row. DeRuyter got to second but still had ground to make up on the race leader as the laps clicked off.

On lap 10 Joey Wilcox spun in turn 3 and 4 giving DeRuyter one final shot at Nier for the lead. On the restart Keegan Nier would go unchallenged as he scored his second win of the season. DeRuyter would cross in 2nd over Joe Trichilo, Owen Nier and Cole Perry.

Josh Verne Jr. scored the 15-lap Panther Frameworx 602 Crate Sprints victory.

Joe Orvis claimed his first feature win of the season in the Marsha Gibbons TLC Real Estate Thundercar.

Josh Reome was the star of the show in the 20 lap Bob Johnson Auto Group DIRTcar Sportsman feature, after wiring the field.

The FABCO DIRTcar Pro Stock division went to Denis Gauvreau.
