The St. Catharines, ON driver enters the weekend with 15 Series triumphs, his last coming in the Salute to the Troops 150<\/em> during Super DIRT Week.<\/p>\n Felix Roy aims to keep his momentum rolling after earning his first Series title in 2024. However, he accomplished that feat without achieving a victory. \u201cHollywood\u201d has made five career starts at Fulton, with his best 358 Modified Series finish being an eighth in 2023.<\/p>\n Mike Mahaney plans to follow the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series in 2025 after earning his first career Series win last year during the Malta Massive Weekend<\/em> at Albany-Saratoga Speedway. Mahaney has made 30 starts at the track but hasn\u2019t reached Victory Lane. However, he\u2019s knocked on the door several times with 10 top fives, including three runner-up finishes.<\/p>\n Another Canadian driver to keep an eye on this weekend is Chris Raabe. The three-time DIRTcar 358 Modified Series winner and 2016 Series champion will attempt to make his third Series start this weekend at Fulton, where he finished 10th in 2019.<\/p>\n Fulton Title Contenders: <\/strong>Fulton\u2019s list of weekly competitors boasts two drivers aiming for the DIRTcar 358 Modified championship in 2025, Lance Willix and Dave Marcuccilli.<\/p>\n After winning last year\u2019s Series opener at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park, Willix narrowly missed out on his first championship by four points. The Theresa, NY driver, had four top fives and seven top 10s at Fulton in 2024, finishing fifth in the track\u2019s points standings. His best Series finish at the track is a 12th in 2023.<\/p>\n Marcucilli, the 2022 Series champion, finished third in the track\u2019s standings last year with a win, seven top fives, and nine top 10s. While he hasn\u2019t won a Series event at Fulton, the Montezuma, NY, driver finished second during the track\u2019s 2018 Series stop.
