FULLER EDGES SEARS IN FINAL 358 MODIFIED FEATURE AT FULTON SPEEDWAY BEFORE THE DYNOMAX VICTORIA 200 ON OCTOBER 5TH

FULTON, NY...Tim Fuller held off the late race charge of Tom Sears to claim the 35-lap DIRT 358 Modified feature win at Fulton Speedway last Saturday night. Fuller earned $1,500 for the victory in the B&F General Machine DIRT 358 Modified. Sears had to settle for second, but claimed the Fulton Speedway Victoria 200 Weekend All Star spot.

Fuller raced out to the early lead at the start of the feature event from the pole starting position. Several minor caution periods slowed the event in the early going. After ten circuits Fuller was being chased in the top five by Sears, Jeremy Smith, John Ramsey and John Barker.

For a while it appeared that Fuller was going to pull away from the field, but Sears had a different plan. Throughout the last half of the event Sears pressured Fuller for the top spot both in and out of lapped traffic. Sears came alongside Fuller on several occasions but he was never able to take command of the top spot.

Fuller was able to hold off Sears for the feature win. Jeff Rudalavage was clearly the hard charger in the race by coming from the 20th starting spot to finish third. Ramsey and Smith completed the top five feature finishers. Phelps, Paul Kinney, Tim Burnett, Mitch Gibbs and Jim Mahaney crossed the finish line in positions sixth through tenth respectively.

Ryan Richardson returned to the winners circle at the conclusion of the 20-lap DIRT Sportsman feature. Jamie Christian, Tim Sears, Shawn Donath and Todd Henderson completed the top five feature finishers behind Richardson. Richardson took the lead away from Chrsitian on lap 12 and led the rest of the distance in the 20-lap event.

T.J. Fitzgibbons earned the 20-lap DIRT Pro Stock feature victory last Saturday night. Chad Homan, Joe Palmer, Mike Cooper and Ray Maloney completed the top five finishers behind Fitzgibbons. Fitzgibbons led the entire 20-lap distance for the victory.

John Pietrowicz claimed the Pure Stock feature win last Saturday night. Phil Marsden, Waylan Wilczek, Bill Flask and Bruce Stanton followed Pietrowicz across the finish line. Pietrowicz led the entire 15-lap distance.

Ray Wilson was the winner of the 43-car Four Cylinder Enduro last Saturday night. Jay McGillicuddy, Rodney Weaver, Mitch Pietrowicz and Carl Clothier finished in positions second through fifth respectively.
