LA FARGEVILLE, N.Y. — One week ago, Lucas Fuller was upside down near the end of the Whitesboro Plow Shop DIRTCar 358 Modified feature.
This week he was leading the show over Derek Webb, R.J. Tressider, Franklin Mackin and Preston Forbes. The track at the beginning of the race proved to be perfect for Fuller, who loves the bottom but Webb was on the charge and searching for a faster lane.
After many laps, Webb finally found that fast grove on the top side of the track, as he took over the lead on lap 12 and tried to run away from the field.
On the same lap Tyler Corcoran slowed with a problem in turn two. The next restart saw Webb draw away from the field one more time but behind him Fuller was getting a challenge from Forbes for the runner up spot, while behind him Tim Fuller made a big move from eighth to fourth as he was looking for his third straight win.
As the laps clicked off, Webb got faster and built up a big lead on the rest of the field. Without the help of a yellow flag over the final laps, Forbes and the rest of the field had no chance as Webb marched on to his first win since Aug. 26, 2022 at Can Am.
Forbes finished a season-best second, with Tim Fuller getting around Lucas Fuller for third off turn four, while Shaun Shaw completed the top five.
Tyler Stevenson won the 20-lap DIRTcar Sportsman feature, while the Panther Frameworx 602 Crate Sprint Cars feature was won by Tucker Donath.Â
Francis White claimed the 15-lap Sundance Leisure Thundercar feature. Brady Howard won in Limited Sportsman action.Â
