LA FARGEVILLE, N.Y. — Billy Dunn was the big winner in Can Am Speedway competition Friday night as he scored the DIRTcar 358 Modified feature.
Veteran Andy Howard took the lead at the start of the feature. Howard’s lead was short lived as a three-car tangle in turn two bunched up the field for another restart.
When the green flag flew it was Howard in front but Dunn was on the charge and looking for the lead. On lap six Dunn had taken over the spot, with Howard, Jordan McCreadie, Lance Willix and Preston Forbes completing the top five.
Once in front Dunn was on auto pilot, but two-time and defending track champion Tim Fuller was on the move from his 12th starting spot. Fuller, who was inducted into the Northeast Dirt Modified Hall of Fame this week, started to make his way into the top three with 10 laps to go, but Dunn had a huge lead on the field.
Willix had a great top five finish go away, as he lost a drive shaft and pulled to the infield. When the green flew again it was Dunn in control with McCreadie holding on to second while Fuller made a charge to get to the number three spot around Howard.
Dunn had a big lead on the field and was running away as Fuller made his way to second, but still had almost a straight away to make up on Dunn. In the end Dunn would put together another solid night and even with a small tangle in traffic on the white flag lap, would go on to record his second win of the year and 61st of his Can Am Modified career.
Fuller would record his third straight runner-up finish, with McCreadie, Howard and Derek Webb completing the top-five.
Tyler Corcoran won the Bob Johnson DIRTcar Sportsman feature, with the Panther Frameworx 602 Crate Sprint Car feature going to Josh Verne Jr.
Sundance Leisure Thundercar’s feature was won by Phil Desormeau III. Keegan Nier reigned victorious in Donath Motor Worx Limited Sportsman action.
