FULLER WINS LEAF RACEWEAR 100 IN FRONT OF RECORD CROWD
BREWERTON,
NY….Tim Fuller claimed the win in the Leaf Racewear 100-lap Turning
Stone Casino 358 Modified Super DIRT Series race at Brewerton Speedway
Thursday night. Fuller’s victory came in front of the largest crowd
in Brewerton Speedway history. The driver of the B&F General
Machine DIRT 358 Modified earned $4,000 for the season ending win at
the D-shaped DIRT Demon.
Steve Paine jumped out to
the early lead at the start of the Leaf Racewear 100 from the pole
starting position. Paine would lead the first six circuits in the
34-car starting field. Fuller took the top spot away from Paine on lap
seven. What followed were about 40 laps of the lead changing hands
between Paine and Fuller. Alan Johnson came into the mix and the top
three were putting on quite a show.
Fuller was the official race
leader from laps 7-23. Paine regained the top spot on lap 24. Fuller
was the leader again on laps 25-36. Paine led the field again on lap
37 for one circuit. Fuller regained the lead on lap 38 and held it
until lap 49. Alan Johnson was the race leader at the halfway point.
But, that was the only lap that he would lead. Fuller took the lead
back on lap 51 and would never give it up.
Alan Johnson had to settle
for a second place finish. Chad Brachmann had a strong run and
finished third. Todd Burley and Frank Cozze completed the top five
feature finishers. Cozze recovered from an early race spin to do so.
Brett Hearn, Stewart Friesen, Dale Planck, Danny Johnson and Jeff
Rudalavage finished in positions sixth through tenth respectively.
Jimmy Phelps finished in the 11th position, the final car
in the lead lap.
Sean Lias earned the victory
in the 20-lap IMCA Modified special Thursday night. Lias pocketed $400
for his efforts. Mike Stolarczyk, Bill Anderson Jr., Justin Mason and
Ron Root completed the top five feature finishers. Stolarczyk gave
Lias a strong run, but the multi-time Brewerton Speedway feature
winner never made a mistake.
