BREWERTON, N.Y. — Friday night at the Brewerton Speedway Todd Root, a Tracey Road DIRTcar Big Block Modified rookie, looked anything but like a rookie grabbing his first victory against one of the toughest weekly fields in the Northeast.
The streak of no repeat modified feature winners continues. Root is the fifth different feature winner in five races this season.
Root would take the lead on lap seven of the 35-lap feature and would never look back. He would see big leads evaporate through cautions and even a red flag. Each restart, Root was on rails on the top side of the speedway, winning by over one second at the checkers.
Jeff Taylor finished second, with Larry Wight racing from 14th to finish third and Tim Sears Jr. romping from 15th to fourth. Darren Smith came home fifth.
