Billy Dunn Reflects on Successful 2013 Campaign; Syracuse 200 Win Tops the List of Accomplishments From the Past Season

Over the past few seasons, Billy Dunn had established himself as a rising star in the DIRTcar Big Block division. In 2013, Dunn took that to a whole new level, winning several races, and contended for championships along the way. On Friday nights, Dunn raced a 358 Modified a Mohawk International Raceway driving for Laurent Ladouceur, while Saturday nights were spent at Canandaigua Motorsports Park. Dunn also followed the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series in 2013, posting some fantastic results along the way.

With 11 feature wins in 49 starts this season, Dunn had the best year of his career so far. One of those wins just happened to be the Syracuse 200 at Super DIRT Week, the biggest win of his career by far. Dunn won the Mohawk International Raceway track title and the Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” 358 Modified Series championship. Three of Billy’s wins came at Canandaigua Motorsports Park where the championship battle came right down to the final few laps of the race. Dunn finished second overall at Canandaigua in the championship battle.

Dunn also had some great success travelling to different track in the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series. He finished the season a career best third overall in the standings with the help of back to back second place finishes at Albany-Saratoga Speedway and Autodrome Drummond in July, and a solid third place result at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan in August. The biggest moment of the season however was Sunday, October 9th at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse as Dunn fulfilled a lifelong dream by winning the 42nd annual Super DIRT Week main event.

“We have a lot to be thankful for this year”, says Dunn. “Thanksgiving holiday is upon us, and we certainly are thankful to all the people that have helped us out this year including our sponsors, crewmembers, family, friends and fans”.

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.
