Dunn started his qualifying heat race from the sixth position and quickly moved forward. By the end of the race he was up to second, earning a spot in the redraw for a top 10 starting spot for the 64 lap main event. Dunn pulled position number seven, and lined up on the inside of row four. It didn’t take Dunn long to move forward, moving into the top five by lap seven. By lap 40, Dunn was in third place, and continued to gain ground on the race leaders. Just two laps later, he picked up one more spot to move to second, and tried everything he could to pick up the last remaining position. Dunn crossed the line with a solid 2nd place result.
“It was a good start to the season for us”, says Dunn. “Hopefully this will be the start to another great year”.
This coming weekend, Billy Dunn will race at Fulton Speedway on Saturday night as they battle in the first round of the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series. He will return to Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday, May 3rd.
