DECKER HOLDS OFF FULLER FOR DIRT MODIFIED FEATURE WIN ON TERRELL'S POTATO CHIPS NIGHT

FULTON, NY...Billy Decker held off Tim Fuller to earn the victory in the 35-lap DIRT Big Block Modified feature race at Fulton Speedway last Saturday on Terrell's Potato Chips Night. It was Decker's second win of the season at the Home of the Dynomax Victoria 200. The victory for the Gypsum Wholesalers DIRT Modified team was worth $2,000.

Tony Buffa raced out to the early lead at the start of the Terrell's Potato Chips DIRT Big Block Modified feature from the pole starting position. With five laps complete Buffa continued to lead and was being chased in the top five by Chad Phelps, Donnie Wetmore Jr., Scott Prentice and John Barker. Buffa would lead the 25-car starting field for the first nine circuits.

DIRT Big Block Modified rookie Chad Phelps took the top spot away from Buffa on lap-10. Phelps looked strong in leading the pack and at the halfway mark was being followed in the top five by Tim Fuller, Decker, Jimmy Phelps and Barker. Racing in positions sixth through tenth respectively at the halfway stage were Prentice, Alan Johnson, Buffa, Ryan Phelps and Matt Sheppard.

Fuller took the top spot away from Chad Phelps on lap-19. Fuller would only lead two circuits, however, as Decker swept past on lap-21. Through the final laps Fuller stayed with Decker, but was never able to move back ahead. Decker earned his second Fulton Speedway DIRT Big Block Modified feature race win of the season with Fuller having to settle for second.

Chad Phelps finished the night off strong with his career best third place finish ahead of Jimmy Phelps.

Brett Tonkin led the field early, before Yorker took command of the field. Bates, the current point leader, made a late race charge to finish second.

John Pietrowicz won his first 20-lap DIRT Pro Stock feature race of the season last Saturday. T.J. Fitzgibbons, Jeremy Clark, Lee Burnett and Joe Stefanski completed the top five feature finishers in the 23-car starting field. Fitzgibbons made several runs on Pietrowicz, but was never able to sneak past. Clark, Burnett and Stefanski had a great battle of their own for the third position.

Rusty Marsden claimed the victory in the rain delayed 15-lap Pure Stock feature race from May 20. Phil Marsden, Dave Emmons, Chad Crouse and Curt Prevo finished in positions second through fifth respectively. Phil Marsden turned the tables in the regular 15-lap Pure Stock main event with the feature victory ahead of Rusty Marsden.
