RUDOLPH BREAKS THROUGH: Rudolph finally wins at Mohawk in the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series
Erick Rudolph outraced Series rivals Billy Dunn and Tim Fuller to win $4,000 at Mohawk Int'l Raceway AKWESASNE, NY - Erick Rudolph, the three-time DIRTcar 358 Modified Series champion, finally broke through at Mohawk Int'l Raceway for his first Series win of 2021. Rudolph had to hold off the driver who won the first two Series races of the year, Billy Dunn. Dunn finished second. Tim Fuller, Series points leader going into the race, fought his way up through the tough top half of the field to finish third. Erick Rudolph, from Ransomville, NY, is an absolute ringer in the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series but he had the best of the best hounding him for 60 laps. "Billy [Dunn] is one of the best here and is one of the best in 358s," said Rudolph. "I've been coming here a lot of years. I've finished second and third here countless times. It's awesome to finally get a win here." At the drop of the green flag, Can-Am Speedway promotor Ryan Bartlett shot out into the lead. Rudolph, who started third, was right there in his tire tracks. By lap 10 Bartlett, in the #93, caught up to the backend of the field. Just as Bartlett and Rudolph began managing lapped traffic, third-place Jackson Gil joined the battle at the front but on lap 13 the caution flew. On the lap 16 restart, multiple cars jammed up in Turn 2 and the red flag was displayed due to the blocked race track. Once the race got back underway, the top three got into a rhythm and pulled away from the field. But not from everyone. At halfway, Billy Dunn reloaded and started making his moves to the front. At the same time, Ryan Bartlett was passed by Erick Rudolph as well as Jackson Gil who slotted in behind Rudolph. By lap 35 Dunn had overtaken all challengers and made it to second with his eyes on the prize. Concurrently, Tim Fuller started seventh and made smart moves to be there at the front when it mattered. With nine laps remaining, Carey Terrance, in the #66X, suffered a mechanical failure and stopped on the backstretch. That would end up being the final restart and with six laps to go Dunn got alongside Rudolph in Turn 1. They drove hard side-by-side for the lead but they never touched and Rudolph kept the advantage to win. NEXT UP: The DIRTcar 358 Modified Series is set to shine at NAPA Super DIRT Week beginning Wednesday, Oct. 6 at Weedsport Speedway for the NAPA Super DIRT Week Kickoff. Then the Series heads to Brewerton Speedway for the all-new Hurricane Harvey 75. On Friday, it's qualifying races at Oswego Speedway during Friday Night Lights.

WILD ONE: Bachetti Bags $25,500 Mr. DIRT Track USA Title
WEST LEBANON, NY - It all came down to the final lap and The Wild Child, Andy Bachetti, rose to the occasion. After 100 laps of high speed, high banked action at The Valley of Speed, the 101-lap, $25,500-to-win Mr. DIRT Track USA had yet to be decided. Larry Wight, who had led laps and fought inside the top 3 all race, slowed on the backstretch with a mechanical problem bringing out the caution flag on lap 100. Andy Bachetti, from Sheffield, MA, was able to hold off Matt Sheppard and Stewart Friesen to be the first across the finish line under the waving checkered flags. At the same time, Sheppard made the pass for second place on the final lap over Friesen and took home $6,000. Bachetti, from Sheffield, MA, now has five Super DIRTcar Series victories at Lebanon Valley Speedway (2004, 2004, 2008, 2013, 2021) which means he has Series wins in three different decades. He was extremely thankful for his hard-working crew and the clutch calls they made on the setup going into the Feature. "We were good all night," Bachetti said about his #4 Big Block. "My team made the right calls tonight. We went with the right tire combination and the Garrity Asphalt Reclaiming machine was awesome." It's not all in the setup though. Lebanon Valley Speedway can use a racecar up very quickly without the proper care behind the wheel. "You have to keep the car square and straight," said Bachetti. "You gotta keep the tires on. You gotta have a good enough car to get there. We had a lot of brake fade and a lot of issues. When I got here, we had a brake issue so was pumping the brakes a lot. Would get tight and push too but overall, it was a super way to end the year." Mike Mahaney, in the #35, brought the field to the green flag and raced to the lead in the first corner. Unfortunately, a brake failure caused Mahaney to overshoot the next corner and hit the wall. The car rolled down the track in front of the field and luckily no other drivers made contact with his prone racecar. The race restarted on lap 7 with Larry Wight and Adam Pierson now on the front row. The #99L jumped to the lead and the #4 of Andy Bachetti followed by and into second place. Wight managed to hold off Bachetti until lap 20 when he finally got by. Meanwhile, Sheppard and Friesen started on the fifth row in ninth and 10th, respectively. Friesen followed in Sheppard's footsteps up through the field. "I got up through the field pretty good," said Sheppard. "I was working on Larry Wight. I was a little faster, but I couldn't quite get by him. I lost the spot to Stewie and then we had another restart. Tyler Dippel crashed into me and we lost a few more spots. We were able to fight back to the front and got by Decker, Friesen, and others. I was just happy to get back to second." As laps clicked off towards halfway, Sheppard and Friesen got up to third and fourth. Only Larry Wight was in between Bachetti and Sheppard. Sheppard was determined to get around Wight to try reeling in Bachetti who kept amassing sizeable leads over the dueling rivals. The #9s was all over the #99L from lap 40 to lap 59 when Kenny Tremont Jr. brought out the caution flag with a flat left rear tire. "I was working him high and low," said Sheppard of his battle with Wight. "He was running a different line and it was working for him. It blocked the bottom and the top. I couldn't get a great run on the top and or the bottom." On a lap 63 restart, Friesen got around Sheppard for third. Bachetti's lead grew until lap 74 when Adam Pierson brought out the caution flag. When the field got back underway Friesen got up to third while Sheppard was shuffled back several positions after contacting Tyler Dippel. He who showed his displeasure with the #9s under caution. On lap 81, Kenny Tremont Jr. brought the caution out again. The running order was Andy Bachetti in first place, Larry Wight second, and Stewart Friesen in third with 20 to go. Unfortunately, on the restart, Bachetti fired prior to the VP Racing Fuels starting point. The #4 was sent back a row and the restart was attempted again. "We kind of got a raw deal getting put back a row on the restart," said Bachetti. "When you are the leader you should be able to restart like that." Luckily for Bachetti, Drellos came up lame on lap 92, and on the ensuing restart, the #4 took the lead back from Friesen one last time. There was stout competition for the overall hard charger award which goes to the driver who makes up the most positions from their starting spot. The 2021 Mr. DIRT Track USA Hard Charger was Peter Britten, a former force in Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship action at Lebanon, who started 25th and drove his #21A Big Block to sixth. Erick Rudolph, as usual, also passed a lot of cars and drove his #25R up 18 positions, and finished ninth. Local racer Kolby Schoeder did his hometrack fans proud picking up 15 spots to finish an impressive seventh against the best of the best. Next weekend, the Series runs a doubleheader at the Cavalcade Cup Weekend at Weedsport Speedway, Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 11-12). Night one is capped by a 60-lap $7,500 Super DIRTcar Series Feature before the Series takes to the ⅜ mile historic dirt track for 100 laps and $10,000.

NORTH COUNTRY ALL-STARS: DIRTcar 358 Modified Series begins at Mohawk Int'l Raceway Thursday, August 19
AKWESASNE, NY - Mohawk Int'l Raceway has been a staple of the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series circuit since 1993 when Kenny Tremont Jr. took the first Series win. Since then, Mohawk has hosted 33 Series races. Names like Alan Johnson, Billy Decker, Chris Raabe, Billy Dunn, and Pat O'Brien fill the North Country's record books. Another name will be added on Thursday, Aug. 19, at St. Lawrence Radiology night at Mohawk Int'l Raceway. The night of racing includes the 75-lap DIRTcar 358 Modified Series tour kick-off, the DIRTcar Sportsman Modified North Region opener, and DIRTcar Pro Stocks racing for Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship points. "It's been real tough to get the 358 Series off the ground in 2020 and also this year with COVID and border restrictions. While there still many hurdles to have teams to cross the border we needed to have the Series this year with most tracks running under normal circumstances," said NE Competition Director, "It's still very tough for the 358 teams in Canada but with the bulk of the schedule in the US we needed to get it started as it's getting late in the racing season." The overall DIRTcar 358 Modified Series champion will still include home track bonus points obtained after the Labor Day Weekend and along with Series event points added to the totals. A full point fund will be paid with the champion claiming a $6,000 top prize at the year-end awards banquet. The point fund totals over $25,000 and will award a cash prize to the top 15 in points. Michael Maresca, in the fan-favorite #7mm, has made his intentions to take the $4,000 payday known. Both the night of racing and Maresca's car are sponsored by St. Lawrence Radiology. Tim Fuller will pilot another St. Lawrence Radiology-sponsored car as well. The driver of the #19 has reached Victory Lane at Mohawk in 358 Series competition three times in his career. He's been on a hot streak at Can-Am Speedway in his 358 so race fans will need to take note of his starting position for the 75-lap Feature. A pair of full-time Super DIRTcar Series stars are planning to tackle Mohawk. Erick Rudolph, from Ransomville, NY, will pilot his #25R against the rest of the best DIRTcar 358 Modified drivers. Rudolph does not have a Series win at Mohawk but he is a three-time and defending 358 Modified Series champion. Mike Mahaney has turned into a top line Super DIRTcar Series Big Block driver. He'll put that experience to the #35 Adirondack Auto 358 to take on the North Country's best for the $4,000 check. Lance Willix has been battling at the top of the DIRTcar 358 Modified Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship standings. Willix is hungry for more wins to push him over the top in those standings where he is battling Erick Rudolph, Mat Williamson, Billy Dunn, and more. Another top driver set for Mohawk is Jordan McCreadie. A rookie on the Super DIRTcar Series this year, the second generation driver is near the top of the points at both Can-Am and Thunder Mountain. He will be a favorite at the first clash in Akwesasne, NY. Also on the card is the first race of the season for the DIRTcar Sportsman Modified Series North Region. With successful starts to the East, Central, and West regions already underway, the North Region is sure to bring the excitement to the North Country.
