Latham, NY\u2019s Andrew Buff has won big races, he\u2019s won track championships, even won DIRTcar Sportsman Region Championships.\u00a0 Wednesday night at the Land of Legends Raceway, he etched another mark into an already impressive career resume.<\/p>\n

Taking advantage of his outside front row starting spot, Buff led all 30 laps to take home the $1,000 top prize in the Central and West Region combo event that was made up after a June 24th<\/sup> rain out.\u00a0 A big field of 40 cars filled the pit log for the event that also hosted the Super DIRTcar Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe car was really good tonight, have to give a shout out to Joe Matthews from North Carolina who was taking my texts all night,\u201d said the young driver in victory lane, \u201cWe put something together between my father and Joe and it really worked tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even with a handful of restarts, Buff\u2019s familiar #92 would choose the outside of the front row which proved to be the right choice every time the green waved. \u201cI could get a really good jump in the middle of the track off four each time,\u201d Buff went on, \u201cI could rotate the car in the middle and that\u2019s where I ran all night.\u00a0 This is a nice win for us and have to thank everyone that helps us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cameron Tuttle started in fourth, used the extreme outside on the Ontario County Fairgrounds oval to take home a solid second place finish.\u00a0 It was a finish though that almost never happened.\u00a0 \u201cWe really didn\u2019t decide to come hear until about lunch time yesterday,\u201d Tuttle said matter of fact, \u201cWe have been having such a bad string of races and finishes we were just not sure to come or just take a little bit more time to get ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision proved to be the right one and even though it wasn\u2019t a win, it was a move forward, \u201cIt\u2019s good just to get a good finish again.\u00a0 The 92 was tough, I don\u2019t think I had anything for him.\u00a0 We tried on every restart but he was just a bit better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Guererri was defending the home turf.\u00a0 He was his heat, redrew third and came home with the final podium finish.\u00a0 \u201cThis is kind of how our year has been, we feel just kind of average.\u00a0 It\u2019s not bad, but just average,\u201d said the former Land of Legends track champion, \u201cWe just haven\u2019t been good enough to win races but we are getting top fives.\u00a0 Congrats to Andrew and Cameron, they were fast and earned it.<\/p>\n

Gavin Eisele took fourth at the end of 30 laps with Cody McPherson rounding out the top five.\u00a0 With that fifth, McPherson won the West Region title.\u00a0 He will receive $500 at the annual DIRTcar Banquet for his feat but more importantly he will receive the maximum region bonus points in hopes to repeat as DIRTcar Sportsman Champion.<\/p>\n

Making up the next five were Tyler Corcoran, Kane Bristol, many-time Land of Legends feature winner Zach Sobotka, Nicholas Root, who advanced 14 positions, and Daryl Nutting.\u00a0 Winning the free Hoosier Tire with his 17th<\/sup> place finish was Nelson Mason.<\/p>\n

The event concluded the West Region while the Central Region still has two more events, Saturday June 29 at the Fulton Speedway and then ends Friday night, August 18th<\/sup> at the Brewerton Speedway.<\/p>\n
