Tim Fuller Back Atop Points Chase With Victory At Can-Am

LAFARGEVILLE, NY - Tim Fuller had to pass twelve other cars in the Whitesboro Plow Shop DIRTcar 358 Modified feature on his way to the Bob Johnson Auto Group victory lane at Can-Am Speedway on Friday night. The win put Fuller back on top of competitor Billy Dunn in the points chase for the track championship, just one week after Dunn had managed to climb past Fuller with his own victory.

Mike Mandigo led early laps of the race but had a miscue on a caution restart which gave Fuller the opening to take the lead and drive away with it.

A late caution added drama to the feature race, as the extensive lead Fuller had created was erased, and competitor Billy Dunn was in third position with a handful of laps left to race. By the time five laps remained, it was Fuller in the lead and Dunn in second place, and the battle between the titans was set. But Fuller was Mr. Perfect on the night, hitting his marks for each corner and stringing together perfect laps to end the race and take home the victory, relegating Dunn to second place.

“It’s all in who can get the breaks and who can get the advantage in traffic,� Fuller said in victory lane. “They did a great job patching up the track [in turns three and four] and it needed it. It’s nice now, sealed over. On that restart, Mike [Mandigo] went high, and I thought that was a mistake, there was so much traction down low I just had to step on it and that was it.�

It was Fuller’s fourth victory at Can-Am on the season, putting him in prime position in the points race for track champion.

Gavin Eisele was able to net himself a victory in the Bob Johnson Auto Group DIRTcar Sportsman feature. On the final lap, Eisele, Tyler Corcoran and Jamie Brown were all vying for the lead while dodging lapped traffic. Eisele chose the correct lane and slipped by the lapped traffic and landed in victory lane.

“It was a lot of fun,� Eisele said after the race. “I saw the 64 [Tyler Corcoran] coming, and it kind of scared me,� he joked.

Corcoran is the current points leader in the track championship race for Sportsman, breaking the tie with David Rogers this week after finishing second, while Rogers placed tenth.

Justin White nabbed his second win in a row in the FABCO DIRTcar Pro Stock feature, fending off Kevin Fetterly Jr. in the final laps to get the victory. White just shook his head in seeming disbelief at the victory after the race, “It took 8 years to get here, and now two in a row.�

In the Donath Motor Worx Limited Sportsman 15 lap feature it was Owen Nier with the victory. Steve Smith won the Marsha Gibbons TLC Realty Thunderstock feature, battling with Tony Frezzo on his way to the victory.

Billy Dunn went from 15th to 2nd positions to win the Roof to Rails Hard Charger award in the 358 feature. It was Tyler Corcoran who went from 15th to 3rd who netted the award in the Sportsman race.
