TIM
FULLER PASSES JIMMY PHELPS ON FOURTH TURN OF FINAL LAP TO WIN
COCA-COLA DIRT BIG BLOCK MODIFIED FEATURE
FULTON, NY...Tim Fuller passed Jimmy
Phelps coming out of the fourth turn of the final lap to win the
Coca-Cola DIRT Big Block Modified feature at Fulton Speedway last
Saturday night. Phelps held the advantage to near the end, when
Fuller benefited from lapped traffic. The win was Fuller's third of
the season and his second triumph in a photo finish at the Home of
the Victoria 200 this season.
Joe Isabell raced out to the early
lead at the start of the Coca-Cola DIRT Big Block Modified
feature race from the pole starting position. Isabell led the first
two circuits. Pete Taylor took the top spot away from Isabell on lap
three. Taylor was enjoying a tremendous outing in leading the
talented field holding off the likes of first Tim Sears and then
Jimmy Phelps.
Taylor would lead through lap-25.
It was on lap-26 when Phelps finally was able to slip by Taylor.
Fuller also passed Taylor at the same time and the battle for the
feature win was on. Phelps was able to hold off Fuller until the
fourth turn of the final circuit. Fuller gained the advantage in
lapped traffic and claimed the thrilling victory over Phelps in the

feature finishers. Sears and Taylor earned season-high finishes. Tom
Sears, Pat Ward, Chad Phelps, Jim Witko and Ryan Phelps finished in
positions sixth through tenth respectively.

20-lap DIRT Sportsman feature race win of the 2006 season last
Saturday night. Dave Reilley, Jeremy Pitcher, Joey Williams and
Shawn Donath rounded out the top five feature finishers. John
Pietrowicz led the first nine laps of the main event. Bresnahan
passed Pietrowicz for the lead and eventual win just at the halfway
stage of the event.
Bob Buono won his fourth 20-lap
DIRT Pro Stock feature race of the season last Saturday night. Billy
Clark, Jason Parkhurst, Jack Terrell and Ron Marsden completed the
top five feature finishers. Parkhurst led the first six laps of the
feature race. Buono and Clark then had a battle of their own for the
feature win which had the drivers swapping the lead. Buono came out
on top at the end.

20-lap Pure Stock main event win last Saturday night. Rusty Marsden,
Dave Mannise, Ron Hawker and Dan Hofmann Sr. chased Crouse across

then held off all challengers.
