BREWERTON, NY...Alan Johnson won
only his second DIRT Big Block Modified feature race of the

point over Billy Decker. Johnson claimed $2,200 for the 40-lap
victory which led the way to his fourth season championship at

early lead at the start of the Whittaker's Trophy Auto Sales

and would lead through lap-18. Tim Fuller took the top spot away
from Sears on lap-19.
Fuller also enjoyed a long stay
at the front of the field as he would lead through lap-34. It
was on lap-35 when Alan Johnson took the lead away from Fuller.

challenges by Fuller to earn the victory and the track title.
