FULTON, NY – May 12, 2018 - Saturday night at the Fulton Speedway fans were greeted by a pit once again that had over 100 race cars that saw close finishes and first-time winners on the ‘Highbanks.’

In the Tracey Road Equipment DIRTcar 358 Modifieds, Larry Wight parked his FX Caprara Chevy/Tracey Road Equipment/NAPA/Penske Racing Shocks/LJL Kevlar Racing Engines/No.99L in victory lane. The win was anything but easy as Wight and Tom Sears Jr. had a side-by-side battle lap after lap with Wight finally making the winning pass with just 7-laps to go in the 35-lap feature.

Rich Richner and Joe Shields would lead the Tracey Road Equipment DIRTcar 358 Modified field down to the green with Richner grabbing the early advantage in the 35-lap feature.

With 5-laps complete, Richner and Tom Sears Jr. were locked in a tight fight for the lead with Tyler Meeks, Todd Root, Pat Ward and Larry Wight in a close race of their own for third through sixth.

With 10-laps showing on the scoring tower, Richner opened a little breathing room with a ten car-length advantage out front. You could have thrown a blanket over Meeks, Sears, Ward and Wight as they used every inch of the speedway racing in the top-five.

After a quick yellow on lap-12, it would take Tom Sears Jr. just 4-laps running the top of the speedway to wrestle the lead away from Richner with Wight moving to second one lap later.

By lap-20 Sears and Wight were in a two-car-breakaway at the front of the field with Ward, Richner and Jordan McCreadie showing third through fifth on the scoreboard.

Sears and Wight would put on a show, running bumper-to-bumper and side-by-side, lap after lap with neither racer having much of an advantage using the bottom, middle and top of the speedway.

The difference in the race and winning pass came on lap-27 when Wight found the bite he needed on the bottom of the speedway to get by Sears and go on to the win. Tom Sears Jr., May 5th feature winner Tim Sears Jr., Pat Ward and Jordan McCreadie finished second through fifth.
