FULTON, NY - May 20, 2017 - Larry Wight fresh off his second straight win Friday night at the Brewerton Speedway, saw “Lightning”strike again Saturday at the Fulton Speedway when Wight raced to victory lane.

In the 35 lap Tracey Road Equipment Modified feature, Wight was a driver on a mission as he took the lead on lap 10 and never looked back holding off a late race challenge from Jimmy Phelps.

Tim Mayne and Tim Kerr brought the Tracey Road Equipment Modified field down to the green with Mayne grabbing the early lead in the 35 lap feature before a quick yellow on the opening lap.

When the race went back green, Kerr used the top of the speedway to take command of the race as the racing was two and three wide behind Kerr.

With 10 laps showing on the scoring tower Larry Wight who started 17th used the low side of the speedway to drive by Kerr into the lead. Chris Hile, Tom Sears Jr. and Mayne raced for third through fifth.

At the 15 lap mark Wight led by a half a straightaway. Behind Wight, Kerr, Jimmy Phelps, Hile and Pat Ward were locked in a tight battle for second through fifth.

Lap 20 Wight opened up an almost full straightaway lead. Kerr, Phelps and Ward used every inch of the speedway racing for position.

With 10 to go, Wight was on cruise control out front. Phelps moved into second and took off after Wight. Ward, Kerr and Hile showed in the top five.

With 5 laps to go Phelps cut into Wight’s lead as they approached backmarkers. In traffic Phelps reeled in Wight’s setting up a shootout to the checkers. Once Wight cleared traffic he took off for the win over Phelps. Pat Ward, Tim Sears Jr. and Tim Kerr Finished third through fifth.Chris Hile, Chad Phelps, Andrew Ferguson, Matt Hulsizer and Billy Whittaker completed the top ten
