Billy Dunn Dominates DIRTcar 358-Modified Series Race at Mohawk

By Martin Belanger


Hogansburg, N.Y. – Sept. 16, 2016 – Billy Dunn current and five time Mohawk track champion showed everyone why he is the man to beat at MIR as he dominated the St.Lawrence Radiology 75 event.

‘’The car was great and has been solid all year long.’’ stated Dunn in the winner circle. ‘’We usually run the #23 car here but our #9 car has been good and we are looking forward to run during DIRT week satellite shows’’ said Dunn speaking about both rides he had in 2016 giving him track championships at both Mohawk and Can-Am.

Finishing second Rudolph was happy with his run: ‘’ I thought we could real him in the longer runs but second is still good and it’s always fun to come up here and run with these guys.’’

Local runner Corey Wheeler was also very pleased with his position: ‘’the car was real good, I was able to run on top and moved up positions.’

Gage Morin and Billy Dunn were on the front row of the DIRTcar 358-Modified Series event as Morin was the early leader over Dunn as Mario Clair was third with Chris Raabe and current series point’s leader Erick Rudolph running the top five.

Morin and Dunn were running side-by-side for the lead as Nick Webb slowed down in turn 4 on lap 11. Action picked up on lap 16 with Morin still in the lead but Dunn stayed with the leader as Rudolph was now running third.

Dunn was able to grab the lead on the following lap and pulled away from the field as Rudolph moved up to second spot on lap 20 with Morin fading to third.

The Watertown, N.Y. driver was on a mission as he got into heavy lap traffic with 30 laps in the books.

At the halfway point, Dunn was still in the lead over Rudolph, Morin, Jordan McCreadie and Clair.

Rookie of the year contender, Joey Ladouceur spun out on the backstretch and the race was brought to yellow conditions on lap 41.

The race was back to green with Dunn in the lead as Corey Wheeler made his way to the front five runners. Wheeler challenged McCreadie for fourth and finally passed him on lap 57.

Dunn in control with Wheeler making some noise by passing Morin for third as Rudolph was holding tight in second.

Dunn led the final laps and won the event over Rudolph, Wheeler, Morin and McCreadie while Carey Terrance finished in 6th after starting scratch on the field.
