Billy Dunn Continues Season of Consistency With Fifth Place Finish at Mohawk and Sixth at Canandaigua; SDS Race at Big Diamond Rained Out

After winning the past two weeks at Mohawk International Raceway and four consecutive top five results at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, Billy Dunn was looking forward to another strong weekend with events at both venues as well as a Super DIRTcar Series race at Big Diamond Speedway in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night.

The first stop on the weekend schedule was the usual Friday night visit to Mohawk International Raceway piloting the Laurent Ladouceur owned #23 Small Block Modified. He started last in his qualifier and raced his way up to a third place result. In the 25 lap main event, Billy lined up from the 13th starting position and made some progress in the opening 12 laps as he made his way into the top ten. As the race progressed without a caution, Dunn continued to move forward with steady progress and with just two laps to go he was in fifth place, and he maintained that position to the checkered flag. Dunn is currently 3rd in points at MIR, just four points out of first in a battle for his third consecutive track championship.

On Saturday night, Dunn was back in his own Number One Speed #49 Bicknell car at Canandaigua Motorsports Park. The night started off with a win in his qualifying heat race. When the 35 lap main event hit the track Dunn finished with a solid sixth place run. After Saturday night’s event, Dunn is 3rd in points at Canandaigua, just 14 points out first.

Billy Dunn and his team were all set to hit the road for Big Diamond Speedway in Pennsylvania on Tuesday morning, but Mother Nature had other plans and the event was cancelled due to rain.

This coming weekend, Billy will be back at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday night followed by a trip in the Canadian Province of Quebec with Super DIRTcar Series races on tap for Autodrome Granby and Autodrome Drummond respectively on Monday and Tuesday night.

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.
