Showdown In September At Can-Am Speedway Belongs To Billy Dunn
LAFARGEVILLE, NY - Just one week after missing out on the track championship to Tim Fuller, Billy Dunn drove through the field of the DIRTcar 358 Modified 50 lap feature race like a man on a mission. He started 10th and finished first, with Tim Fuller in second place.
It was a hard-fought victory for Dunn who faced off against the top drivers in the 358 division. Jordan McCreadie took an early lead in the DIRTcar 358 feature, but Mike Maresca moved into the lead by lap 5. Meanwhile Billy Dunn was making short work of the rest of the field as he climbed up to third position by lap 7 after starting in 10th position. By lap ten Dunn was in second position, chasing Maresca who owned a big lead over the rest of the field. By lap 17 Maresca was into lapped traffic, giving Dunn an opportunity to close the gap and get within striking distance. By lap 26 Dunn had maneuvered through the lapped traffic and made his move, passing up Maresca for the lead. Maresca found himself battling for second position as Tim Fuller had moved up from 14th position to start. A caution with ten laps remaining brought Fuller up to Dunn’s door for a restart, destroying the huge lead Dunn had developed since taking the lead. On the restart Dunn leaped out to a commanding lead once again, with Fuller settling into second and Maresca in third. At the checkered flag it was Bill Dunn with the victory, with Fuller in second and Maresca in third.
Tyler Corcoran won the track championship last week and capped his 2021 season with a victory at the Showdown in September at Can-Am Speedway in the DIRTcar Sportsman feature race. To start the race, 410 Mike Fowler jumped out to an early lead, while a three-wide fight for second place ensued behind him. 64 Tyler Corcoran, 7z Zach Payne and 3 Chris Mackey fought for several early laps for second position. Payne came out ahead of the others, challenging Fowler for the lead by lap 6. Payne owned the lead by lap 7, while Corcoran moved into second position, supplanting Fowler to third position. By lap 17 Payne was faced with lapped traffic with Corcoran biding his time for a chance to strike. By lap 19 Corcoran had made his move and took over the lead, even as a cluster of lapped traffic made the racing a bit more tricky. Corcoran weaved through the lapped traffic masterfully and crossed the finish line with the win.
In a feature that was punctuated by multiple cautions, the racing was tight throughout the length of the entire DIRTcar Pro Stock feature. 25 Chad Jessio and 2s Pete Stefanski started in the top two positions, and they raced side-by-side through the early laps of the 30-lap feature. A lap 9 caution and restart brought the field back together allowing 00x Josh Coonradt to throw his hat into the mix, challenging Stefanski for the second position by lap 11, and taking it over a lap later. By lap 16 Coonradt took the lead just as a caution flag brought racing to a pause and a restart. Jessio was quick off the restart, retaking the lead. Meanwhile 690 Sid Harmer Jr. maneuvered through the field and supplanted Coonradt in second place by lap 17. After a series of cautions, racing resumed with Jessio in the lead and Harmer Jr. in second. By lap 20 Sid Harmer Jr. owned the lead. He proceeded to lengthen his lead until a lap 24 caution came out. With just two laps remaining Jessio challenged for the lead, but Harmer was able to fend him off. Meanwhile 1x Justin White snaked his way up through the field and on the final corner, White pulled past Jessio for, what looked like second place at the checkered flag. The last lap move was more important than White realized at the time, as Sid Harmer Jr. was disqualified on post-race inspection, making White the winner of the DIRTcar Pro Stock feature.
In the Ron White Memorial Thunderstock race, Quinn Wallis jumped out to an early lead, with Tony Frezzo moving up to second position from a 7th position start within the first two laps. After multiple cautions, Frezzo had moved to the front of the pack with the lead, while Wallis’ car had to head to the pits with issues. By the halfway point, Frezzo owned a commanding lead that he would carry all the way to the checkered flag and the Bob Johnson Auto Group Victory Lane.
