VERNON, NY – There is no denying that Matt Janczuk, from Sherrill, NY, was a favorite going into tonight\u2019s DIRTcar Sportsman Modified Series: Central Region kickoff at Utica-Rome Speedway<\/a>. Janczuk has been a master on the Vernon, NY half-mile oval with the 2019 track champion to his credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The 32-car field was jammed with the premier DIRTcar Sportsman Modified drivers of the Northeast, all vying to make history as the winner of the first Series race of the 2020 season. Janczuk redrew the 8th starting position looking uphill at Kyle Inman, defending Series champion Kevin Root, Zach Sobotka, Chris Mackey, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The 30-lap Feature was nearly non-stop with just a single caution slowing the action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Janczuk used speed, multiple lines, and a little luck to work his way by the best in the business. The defending track champion reeled in leader Kyle Inman in the closing stages and on the final lap and in the final corner, Janczuk muscled his no. 33x machine ahead of Inman at the line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Janczuk is on a serious hot streak. Look out Kyle Larson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve won four in a row with tonight,\u201d said Janczcuk. \u201cThings have just been really good thanks to this Bicknell, DIG, and Fastline Performance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n From the drop of the green flag, the racing was top to bottom on the half-mile autodrome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe were pretty good in 3 and 4 at the top and the bottom was good if you hit it in 1 and 2. I was going in on the top of 1 and 2 and going across the track for the bottom to get off,\u201d noted Janczuk. \u201cIt was kind of the old \u201cStewie Friesen move\u201d they call it. I made it work. I don\u2019t know how but we did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
