Last weekend was a disappointing weekend for Billy Dunn and his Number One Speed team and they were back this week ready to put that behind them. Mohawk Raceway was the destination of Friday night driving the Laurent Ladouceur owned 358 Modified, while Saturday night at Canandaigua he was back in the familiar Number One Speed #49.
Like most Friday night’s this year, rain was an issue. It didn’t take track officials long to cancel the program once again with a continuous steady rain falling overnight and through the morning. They will try again this coming Friday night, and will also look at an added mid-week event next month to help make up for some of the rainouts this season.
Canandaigua was up next on Saturday night and Dunn started the 35 lap main event from the 16th starting position. In typical Dunn fashion he moved towards the front of the pack patiently and by the end of the race he was in a top five position. Dunn crossed the finish line with a strong fifth place result.
“The car wasn’t bad, and we were able to move up from deep in the field, but we just weren’t quite strong enough tonight to challenge for the win”, says Dunn after the race. “We will work at it, and hopefully we can be even better next week”.
Dunn will be back in action on Tuesday night as the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series rolls into New Egypt Speedway in New Jersey. He will be at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night and back to Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday.
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 2014 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 again this season.
