Billy Dunn on Top of Point Standings at Mohawk International Raceway and Canandaigua With Just Two Weeks Remaining in 2013 Regular Season

The 2012 season was a breakthrough season for Billy Dunn and his Number One Speed race team. They established themselves as legitimate contenders each week at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, arguably one of the toughest tracks with the toughest field of cars on the circuit. Dunn also won multiple features as well as the 358 Modified track title and Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” championships at Mohawk Raceway. Just a year later, Dunn continues to run as strong as ever, on the verge of repeating his Mohawk championships, and with just two events remaining in a star studded Canandaigua lineup, he currently sits at the top of the point standings there as well.

At Mohawk Raceway on Friday night, Dunn finished third in his qualifying heat race and returned to the track later in the night for the 25 lap main event starting from 15th. It didn’t take Billy long to storm through the field, sitting in fourth place after just ten laps. By lap 15 he as up to third place, and just five laps later he was in second and began chasing down the race leader. Dunn took over the top spot on lap 22 and after a quick caution with just one lap remaining he held on for his sixth feature win of the season at Mohawk Raceway.

“The car was awesome again tonight”, says Dunn after the race. “I really have to thank Laurent Ladouceur and his team for allowing us to drive this car each week. It is just one of those deals where everything is working well, and hopefully that will continue”.

Dunn has had a great season at Canandaigua Motorsports Park as well, and he entered the night second place overall in the championship point standings by just 22 points. After finishing third in the qualifier, Billy made some adjustments to the car before lining up for the night’s 35 lap main event. He started from 18th, and quickly stormed through the field, making the top ten by lap eight. With 23 laps in the books Billy had found his way inside the top five and continued to move forward over the final dozen laps to finish with a solid third place effort. Issues with the current point leader going into the night now puts Dunn on the top of the standings by seven points with just two weeks remaining.

Dunn will be back at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday. The next race in the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series will be on Sunday, September 1st at Rolling Wheels Raceway for the Stars and Stripes 100. Billy is currently third in points in the Super DIRTcar Series.

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. He would also like to thank Laurent Ladouceur and the Mr. Radiator Race team for the opportunity to race their 358 Modified at Mohawk Raceway on Friday nights.
