Story By: DAVE MEDLER / FULTON SPEEDWAY – FULTON, NY – Lance Willix has consistently run up front at the Fulton Speedway in the Tracey Road DIRTcar Modifieds. One thing that eluded him was a feature win. That changed Saturday night when he parked his car in victory lane.

Lance Willix would take the lead early in the 35-Lap Modified feature while the racing behind him was two and three wide on a multi-groove track.

On lap ten Willix would stretch his lead over Ryan Dolbear and Andrew Buff who were in a close battle for second and third with Ronnie Davis III and Willy Decker in the top five.

Lap traffic would slow up Willix as the top five started to reel him in.

Davis would move in on second place Dolbear on lap twenty-one just before a right rear flat sent him to the pits.

On the restart Buff would move into second with Larry Wight getting by Dolbear for third.

Over the remaining laps nobody challenged Lance Willix as he cruised under the checkers for his first Fulton Modified win. Andrew Buff, Billy Dunn, Larry Wight, and Willy Decker rounded out the top five.

Cody Manitta would grab the early lead in the 25-Lap, 26 car DOT Foods DIRTcar Sportsman feature.

Manitta still led at lap ten as Gareau, Moyer, Parkhurst, and Harber showed in the top five.

With ten to go Manitta was still out front while Parkhurst and Moyer started gaining on the leader.

Late yellows gave the field on last shot at Manitta. When the race went back to green Manitta was first under the checkers.

After the race Manitta was light on the scales giving to win to Jimmy Moyer. Jason Parkhurst, Emmett Waldron, Mike Fowler, and Kyle Perry finished second through fifth.

Ron Hawker would lead the opening four laps of the 15-Lap Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux Hobby Stock feature when John Pietrowicz took over the lead. Once out front Pietrowicz would cruise to the win. Ron Hawker, Brennan Fitzgibbions, Adam Hunt, and Andy Kieffer rounded out the top five.
