DECKER WINS FIRST OF THE SEASON AT BREWERTON SPEEDWAY ON FERRIS INDUSTRIES NIGHT

 

BREWERTON, NY...Former Brewerton Speedway DIRT Big Block Modified Track Champion Billy Decker won his first feature of the 2004 season Friday on Ferris Industries Night. Decker took the top spot away from Bob McCreadie on lap-13 of the 35-lap event and was never headed after that. The victory for the Gypsum Wholesalers DIRT Big Block Modified team was worth $2,000.
 

     Bob McCreadie raced out to the early lead at the start of the Ferris Industries DIRT Big Block Modified feature from the pole starting position. After five circuits the multi-time Brewerton Speedway Track Champion continued to lead and was being chased in the top five by Tom Sears, Craig Terrell, Matt Sheppard and Decker. Action was stopped on lap seven for a multi-car crash that started down the back stretch.
 

     Close to eight cars were gathered in the ordeal with only Chuck Hebing and Ryan Odasz eliminated for the event. When the event restarted Bob McCreadie was looking to run away and hide from the rest of the field. Decker showed that he had a strong car early as he moved into the runner-up spot on lap 10. After several laps of trying to do so, Decker worked his way under McCreadie for the lead on lap-13.
 

     At the halfway mark Decker continued to lead and was being followed in the top five by Bob McCreadie, Tom Sears, Chuck Bower and Alan Johnson. Racing in positions sixth through tenth respectively at the halfway mark in order included Gary Tomkins, Matt Sheppard, Tim McCreadie, Terrell and Pat Ward. In the closing laps Decker had the field covered and recorded the feature victory.
 

     Chuck Bower had his best finish of the season at the D-shaped DIRT Demon with a strong second place finish. Feature winners this season Johnson, Tomkins and Fuller completed the top five feature finishers. Tim McCreadie, Bob McCreadie, Pat Ward, Matt Sheppard and Scott Prentice finished in positions second through fifth respectively.
 

     Dale Caswell claimed his first feature win of the 2004 season in the IMCA Modified main event. Les Hubbard, Bill Anderson Jr., Mike Jeffries and Sean Lias followed Caswell across the finish line. Caswell took the lead for good on lap-12 after passing Jeffries.
 

     John Behron was the winner of the 20-lap Dwarf Car / Mod Lite feature event. Behron was the second straight winner in a traditional Dwarf Car. Darren Forbes, Steve Miller, Don Fenner and Matt Magner completed the top five feature finishers. Forbes was the highest finishing Mod Lite. Behron passed Magner for the top spot on lap-16.
 

     Lorrie Herbert won her third straight Four Cylinder Super Stock feature race Friday night. Jeff Herbert, Chuck Powelczyk, Lee Hartzog and Walt VanEpps completed the top five feature finishers.
