Billy Dunn Gets Second Place Finish at Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday Night; Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series Resumes on Thursday Night at Lebanon Valley Speedway

After a very busy week last week following the Super DIRTcar Series, Billy Dunn had a much lighter schedule this weekend, as Mohawk International Raceway was closed on Friday night for their local county fair. Dunn did race at Canandaigua Motorsports on Saturday night, and he was looking to gain some valuable points with championship night coming up in just a few short weeks.

Billy entered the night at Canandaigua with a 33 point deficit in the battle for the 2013 track title. He started his qualifying heat race from the eighth position and worked his way to fourth in the eight lap event. In the 35 lap main event, he rolled off the starting grid from the 18th starting position and struggled early in the event. By lap 24 he finally made his way into the top ten and he stormed through the field over the final 11 circuits. By lap 29 he was up to third place and moved into second just two laps later and was reeling in the race leader when they crossed the finish line.

“The car really came to life over the last few laps”, says Dunn after the race. “We really couldn’t make any progress at all during the opening laps. “It was a good run, but we needed just a little more time to get to the leader”.

Coming up this week, Dunn will travel to Lebanon Valley Speedway on Thursday night for the next round of the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series as they host the annual Mr. DIRT Track USA event paying $17,500 to win. He will return to Mohawk Raceway on Friday night after a rare weekend off, and will be at Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday night looking to get back to victory lane and continue to gain some valuable points in the chase for the championship. He currently leads the standing at Mohawk Raceway by 14 points, and trails by just 23 points at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.

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.
