Billy Dunn’s Great Start to 2013 Season Continues With Top Five Finish at Canandaigua Motorsports Park; Mohawk International Raceway Rained Out

Many would say that 2012 was a breakout year for Billy Dunn and his Number One Speed team. The Watertown, New York racer has started the 2013 season even stronger with top ten finishes in every event entered so far, including six at the ultra-competitive Canandaigua track. That also includes four top five finishes and a feature win.

It was a bit of a struggle early in the night for Dunn, having to qualify through the last chance consolation race. He finished second, easily transferring into the night’s 35 lap main event. He would have to start from deep in the field, lining up on the inside of row 10 in the 19th starting position. At the drop of the green flag, Dunn moved forward at will, moving into the ten after just 12 laps. Billy continued to move forward, and with 10 laps remaining he was in seventh place, and looking strong. With just two laps remaining, he cracked the top five, and finished with a very solid fifth place finish.

“We struggled early in the qualifying heat race and really had to dig in and work our way up from the back of the pack”, says Dunn. “It was another strong race for us, and hopefully we can continue this roll that we have been on lately, and get back to victory lane”.

Billy is the reigning champion of the Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” Modified Series at Mohawk International Raceway, and after round one of the 2013 Series was rained out this past week, they will try again this coming Friday night as Dunn gets back behind the wheel of the Laurent Ladouceur owned car. On Saturday night he will be at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, looking to return to victory lane and inch closer to point lead. He is currently third in track points, just a few points out of the lead.

Billy Dunn would like to thank Number One Speed, FastLube of Watertown, Finger Lakes Auto Machine, Glen A. Gould Estate Construction, Frosty’s Ice Cream, and Bicknell Racing Products for their continued support for the 2013 racing season.
