Billy Dunn Continues to Shine After DIRT Week Success; Scores Top Ten Finishes in 358 Modified and Big Block Modified Events at Brockville

Fresh of the biggest victory of his career last weekend in the NAPA 200 at Syracuse, Billy Dunn returned to action this weekend at Brockville Speedway. On Saturday night he was back in the Laurent Ladouceur owned car that he drove to the 2012 and 2013 track championship at Mohawk International Raceway and Sunday he was in his familiar Number One Speed sponsored car for the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series race.

Dunn started the day off with the usual qualifying heat races, and Dunn finished third, earning a spot in the redraw for a top 12 starting spot in the 100 lap main event. By luck of the draw, Dunn selected position number one, and started the race from the inside of the front row. Billy was in command of the race early, and looked poised for another big win, but his car drifted high over the banking on lap 67 as the tires began to lose grip, losing several positions in the process. Despite falling outside the top ten briefly, Dunn rebounded for a solid third place finish.

On Sunday, it was the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series race at Brockville Speedway. Dunn finished second in his heat race, and made the redraw once again for a top 12 starting spot in the 100 lap main event. Billy would start from the 11th starting spot. Passing was at a premium throughout the race, and Dunn would cross the finish line in eighth place.

There are still a couple more events on the schedule for Billy Dunn. He will be at Orange County Speedway in Middletown, New York for Eastern States Weekend this coming weekend, followed by the World Finals at the Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway on November 7-9th for the 2013 season finale.

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.
