Story By: DAVE MEDLER / FULTON SPEEDWAY – FULTON, NY – It is always nice to beat Mother Nature. Friday night at the Fulton Speedway the entire show was completed with less than favorable weather forecast.
Winners on ‘Highbank Holdup’ weekend night one, presented by Strada Mia Italian Restaurant were John Pietrowicz (Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux Hobby Stocks), Justin Williams (AmeriCU Credit Union Mod Lites) and Jason Barney (Empire Super Sprints).
John Pietrowicz made a statement in the Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux Hobby Stocks 20-Lap feature as he dominated the entire distance. Brennan Fitzgibbons, Adam Hunt, Edward Stevens, and Jim Evans finished second through fifth.
Justin Williams took the big win in the 20-Lap AmeriCU Credit Union Mod Lite feature, winning by four seconds at the finish. The race for the rest of the top-five came down to the final lap battle for positions with Joe Isabell, Kyle Demo, Mike Mullen, and Joe Garafolo finished second through fifth.
The Fulton Speedway will be back in action this Saturday, May 6th when Compass Credit Union will present the season points opener in the season long battles for 2023 track championships.
On the race card will be the Tracey Road DIRTcar Modifieds, DOT Foods DIRTcar Sportsman, E&V Energy Novice Sportsman, and the Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux Hobby Stocks.
