Marcuccilli, Buff, Pietrowicz,Sprague,August Fulton Speedway Winners

By Dave Medler

FULTON, NY - (July 8, 2023) - All season long in the Tracey Road DIRTcar Modifieds Dave Marcuccilli on a weekly basis is always towards the front of the field knocking at the door for a feature win. Saturday night at the Fulton Speedway, he did not knock on the door; he kicked it wide open in a convincing feature win.

Marcuccilli would start the 35-Lap Modified feature in fourteenth and would take the lead from Dylan Zacharias on lap seventeen and pulled away from the field winning by over four seconds at the checkers.

Other winners on Regional Truck & Trailer night. Zach Buff (DOT Foods DIRTcar Sportsman) Kingston Sprague (E&V Energy Novice Sportsman) John Pietrowicz (Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux Hobby Stocks) Joe August (Dirt Modified Nostalgia Tour).

Dylan Zacharias and Connor Sellers brought the Modified feature to the green with Zacharias grabbing the early advantage.

Zacharias would open a half a straightaway lead by lap five while Sellers, Justin Crisafulli, Chris Cunningham, and Alan Fink battled for top-five positions.

When the scoring tower hit lap ten, Zacharias, Sellers, Crisafulli, Marcuccilli from fourteenth, and Cunningham raced in a tight pack at the front of the field.

On lap thirteen Marcuccilli in a power move went from fourth to second and then set his sights on Zacharias.

Marcuccilli would drive by Zacharias on lap seventeen to be scored as the new leader.

With ten laps to go, Marcuccilli was cruising out front, leading by a straightaway.

Zacharias, Billy Dunn from eighteenth, Crisafulli, and Tim Sears Jr. from fifteenth battled for second through fifth.

Over the final laps and with no cautions, Dave Marcuccilli put his name in the 2023 list of feature winners going under the checkers 4.667 seconds ahead of points leader Tim Sears Jr. Dylan Zacharias, Billy Dunn, and Justin Crisafulli completed the top-five.

Kevan Cook would take the lead at the start of the 25-Lap Sportsman feature by lap five he had company. You could have thrown a blanket over Cook, Wade Chrisman, Dave Moyer, Richard Murtaugh, and Zach Buff.

Moyer was hooked up on the bottom of the speedway and would find the speed he needed to drive into the lead on lap eight.

With ten laps to go, Moyer was still setting a quick race pace out front, leaving the rest of the field to fight for positions.

The winning pass came with one lap to go when Zach Buff took the lead and then went on to win his first feature of the year. Dave Moyer, points leader Andrew Buff, Richard Murtaugh, and Clayton Brewer III finished second through fifth.

In the 20-Lap Hobby Stock feature Brandon Barron took the lead on the first lap and when the scoring tower read lap five you could throw the blanket over the top-five of Barron, Jim Evans, Adam Hunt, and Edward Stevens.

On lap seven, John Pietrowicz would use the topside of the speedway to drive into lead after starting in the eleventh. Once in the lead, he would go on to win his seventh feature win of the year. Jim Evens, Mike Watkins, Brennan Fitzgibbons, andd Adam Hunt completed the top-five.

Dylan Piersall would take the lead on the opening lap of the 15-Lap Novice Sportsman feature and looked to run away and hide from the rest of the field.

On lap ten with a 5.9 seconds lead, disaster struck when a lap car tangled with Piersall ending his big lead and possible victory. Kingston Sprauge would inherit the lead and would win the feature. Brianna Murtaugh, Rick Kinney, Sam Grooms, and Nathan Novak finished second through fifth.

The Dirt Modified Nostalgia feature would see former Fulton Speedway Modified racer Joe August pick up the victory over Brewerton Speedway winner Jack Miller.
