I don’t race here every week, but I still like when we come here; we have a home-field advantage.“I tried to save my tire for the first 10 laps or so, and when I had a shot at it, I just went to the top and tried to make it happen.”Defending champion Mat Williamson and Ryan Stabler led the field to the green in the 50-lap feature, with Williamson wrestling the lead away through Turns 1 and 2. Williamson led the first nine laps before back-to-back cautions, including one for track champion Chris Raabe slowed the field.That’s when Dunn, who started third, made his move for the lead. When the green came back out, Dunn found his way by both Stabler and Williamson to take the lead, putting the $5,000 prize in his sights.Dunn led Williamson on a chase for the next 35 laps before a caution came out with three laps to go, right when Mike Mahaney snuck by the No. 6 for second. The single-file restart gave Dunn clean air when the race resumed, and the breathing room he needed to win his first DIRTcar 358 Modified Series event since 2022.“We’ve been racing a lot lately, so this will give us some momentum for the next couple of weeks,” Dunn said.Mahaney crossed the line second, earning his first podium finish since finishing second at Utica-Rome Speedway in July.“We’ve had some issues through the season,” Mahaney said. “Points are less in our favor here, and we’ve been trying to win races. Billy was really fast tonight. He was fast in the heat race, and in the feature, he made great moves. I kind of followed him up through and did some of the similar moves to get to second.“Great run for our team.”With his second-place finish, “Smooth Shoe” also cut Williamson’s points lead to 88, after “Money Mat” fell back to sixth in the final three laps.Carey Terrance crossed the line third, while William Racine and Tim Fuller rounded out the top five.Tristan Ladouceur topped the DIRTcar Sportsman feature.The finish:Feature (50 Laps): 1. 49-Billy Dunn[3]; 2. 35-Mike Mahaney[10]; 3. 66X-Carey Terrance[7]; 4. 35R-William Racine[9]; 5. 19-Tim Fuller[18]; 6. 6-Mat Williamson[1]; 7. 44-Johnathon Ferguson[6]; 8. 77E-Ryan Stabler[2]; 9. 18JR-Louis Jackson Jr[8]; 10. 31-Lance Willix[14]; 11. 28M-Jordan McCreadie[23]; 12. 3M-Franklin Mackin[13]; 13. 04-Dale Gonyo Jr[12]; 14. 47S-Corey Wheeler[11]; 15. 21A-Peter Britten[22]; 16. 4K-Elliot Gamache[16]; 17. 22C-Cedric Gauvreau[5]; 18. 18-Kalen Draper[20]; 19. 92-Andrew Buff[15]; 20. 5-Jack Butler[28]; 21. 18R-Brad Rouse[17]; 22. 23-Joey Ladouceur[25]; 23. 11S-Steve Lewis Jr[30]; 24. 14-CG Morey[29]; 25. 117-CJ Castelletti[32]; 26.
