Billy Dunn Posts Third Place Finish at Mohawk International Raceway

After a busy week last week with the regular weekly events and a trip to Quebec for a pair of Super DIRTcar Series races, this week much quieter for Billy Dunn. On Friday night he was back at Mohawk International Raceway in the Laurent Ladouceur owned ride, while Saturday night was a rare off night as Canandaigua Motorsports Park had the night off. The only mid week excursion came on Wednesday night as Dunn resumed the Big Show 6 at Albany Saratoga Speedway after getting postponed a couple weeks earlier.

On Friday night at MIR, Dunn started his qualifying heat from fourth and picked up the win, setting the tone for a good night at Mohawk Raceway in the Ladouceur #23. Billy started from 15th and quickly moved forward and with 10 laps on the board he was already inside the top five. Over the next several laps, Dunn worked his way to third and that is where he finished as the entire 25 lap event went green to checkered.

On Wednesday night, Dunn set off for Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, New York for the conclusion of the Big Show 6 event from a couple weeks back. Dunn was slated to roll off the starting grid from the 19th position as the race resumed where it left off with 11 laps complete on July 8th. Unfortunately, a mechanical issue sent Dunn off the track early and he was unable to continue.

This coming week, Dunn will return to MIR on Friday night, and will be back at Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday night. The Super DIRTcar Series picks up again on Monday with a three race week beginning with Merrittville Speedway on Monday, Ransomville Speedway on Tuesday and the newly renovated Weedsport Speedway next Thursday 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.
