FULLER AND TOMKINS WIN DIRT BIG BLOCK MODIFIED FEATURES ON CHINA TOWNE FURNITURE NIGHT

 

BREWERTON, NY...Tim Fuller and Gary Tomkins each claimed a 35-lap DIRT Big Block Modified feature win at Brewerton Speedway last Friday on China Towne Furniture Night. Fuller scored a thrilling victory over Bob McCreadie in the nightcap feature race. It was Fuller's fourth feature win of the season. Tomkins earned the victory in the rain delayed feature from July 8. It was Tomkin's third win of the year.
 

     Vic Coffey jumped out to the early lead at the start of the nightcap DIRT Big Block Modified main event. With five laps complete Coffey was being chased in the top five by Bob McCreadie, Jeff Isabell, Pat Ward and Chuck Bower. Coffey would lead the opening nine laps of the main event. McCreadie took the top spot away from Coffey on lap-10.
 

     Fuller became the third different leader of the race on lap-12. At the halfway mark Fuller continued to lead and was being followed in the top five by Ward, McCreadie, Matt Sheppard and Billy Decker. Scott Prentice, Gary Tomkins, Alan Johnson, Coffey and Steve Hulsizer raced in positions sixth through tenth respectively at the halfway stage.
 

     Just when it appeared that Fuller would go unchallenged for the victory, McCreadie made a tremendous charge using the bottom portion of the track. McCreadie got even and edged ahead of Fuller on several occasions as the duo raced in two distinct grooves. In the end, Fuller would hold on for the victory in the event which had the large crowd in attendance on their feet.
 

     McCreadie had to settle for a strong second place finish. Ward, Decker and Johnson completed the top five feature finishers.    

     Tom Sears Jr. raced out to the early lead at the start of the rain delayed DIRT Big Block Modified feature from the pole starting position. After five laps Sears continued to lead and was being followed in the top five by Sean Beardsley, Steve Hulsizer, Tomkins and Jim Witko. Sears would lead the first 14-laps of the main event. Tomkins found room under Sears on lap-15 to take command of the field.
 

     At the halfway mark Tomkins was being chased in the top five by Sears, Beardsley, Hulsizer and Billy Decker. Witko, Scott Prentice, Alan Johnson, Ryan Phelps and Pat Ward raced in positions sixth through tenth respectively at the halfway stage. Decker worked up from the 13th starting position to third on lap-23. One circuit later Decker lost power on  the track and was done for the event.
 

     Johnson started to make his way to the front in the late going. A caution with two laps to go regrouped the field, but Johnson was unable to overtake Tomkins. It was the second straight victory at the D-shaped DIRT Demon for the Elaine James Motorsports team. The victory was worth $2,000. Johnson had to settle for second while Tim Fuller moved up late for third. Sears and Prentice completed the top five feature finishers.
 

     Richard Townsend won his second straight 20-lap IMCA Modified feature race of the season last Friday night. Greg Kimball, Tim Hearne, Les Hubbard and Johnny Hill completed the top five feature finishers behind Townsend. On lap eight Townsend took the top spot away from Kimball and would lead the rest of the way to the victory.
 

     Doug Williams won his third 20-lap Mod Lite feature race of the season last Friday night. Don Fenner, Frank Doll Jr., Joe Abbass and Tim Devendorf followed Williams across the finish line. Williams took the top spot away from Doll on lap-16 and never gave it back.
 

     Russell Erwin won his third 15-lap Four Cylinder main event of the season last Friday night. Jeff Herbert, Rich Rainville, Rich Murtaugh and Lorrie Herbert finished in positions second through fifth respectively. Erwin took the top spot away from Jeff Herbert on lap six and never gave it back.
 

     Chad Guthrie earned the victory in the 25-lap Four Cylinder Enduro feature race. Chad Dupra, Randy Shantel, Kelly Smith and Josh Herbert completed the top five feature finishers.
