Story By: BRETT DEYO BROOKFIELD SPEEDWAY – BROOKFIELD, NY – After an extended break due to weather, Brookfield Speedway returned to action Saturday night.
Butchie Irwin of Climax, N.Y., led the list of winners, topping the $700-to-win, 25-lap Scenic View Campground Crate 602 Sportsman event at the Madison County Fairgrounds.
Irwin, who started from the pole via a redraw of top heat-race qualifiers, led the event from start to finish.
Irwin survived intermittent challenges from David Hackett, who finished second. Rocky Rothwell thwarted the advances of Kadon Hohensheldt for third. Jonathan Feagles completed the front five.
