FULTON, NY...Tim Fuller was on a mission
Saturday night at Fulton Speedway. Fuller dominated the 35-lap caution
free Tracey Road Equipment / Oswego County ATV Club main event leaving
only six cars on the lead lap. In the process the Edwards, N.Y. driver
claimed the first ever DIRT Big Block Modified Track Championship in the
B&F General Machine ride.
Pete Taylor raced out to the early lead
at the start of the Tracey Road Equipment / Oswego County ATV Club DIRT
Big Block Modified feature from the outside pole starting position.
After five circuits Taylor continued to lead the 25-car starting field
and was being followed in the top five by John Barker, Brian Murphy,
Ryan Phelps and Alan Johnson.
Taylor would lead the first 11 circuits
in a strong effort for the DIRT Big Block Modified rookie driver. Fuller
took the top spot away from Taylor on lap-12. Fuller started the event
in the 13th starting position and charged to the front in only 12
circuits.
At the halfway mark Fuller was being
chased in the top five by Taylor, Ryan Phelps, Johnson and Jeff
Rudalavage. Murphy, Pat Ward, Billy Decker, Jimmy Phelps and John Barker
raced in positions sixth through tenth respectively at the halfway mark.
Fuller was able to pull away from the
field with the event going without a caution period. Several battles for
position were staged throughout the top ten. Alan Johnson finished in
the second position, while Jeff Rudalavage made a late race charge to
finish third. Decker and Ward completed the top five feature finishers.
Ryan Phelps, Taylor, Matt Sheppard, Vinnie Vitale and Brian Murphy
completed the top ten finishers.

finish line. Stewart Friesen, Ryan Baye, Jim Mahaney, Bobby Varin and
John Barker finished in positions sixth through tenth respectively.

Phelps claimed the Track Championship by just five points ahead of Tom
Juhl.

through fifth respectively.
