BREWERTON, NY - May 25, 2018 – Coming off his opening night win on May 18th, Larry Wight out of Phoenix, NY came back with a vengeance Friday night grabbing his second straight win in the Tracey Road Equipment DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds at the Brewerton Speedway.

Wight started 14th and quickly made his way to the front setting up a tight battle for the lead with teammate Pat Ward. The pair would swap the lead back and forth in the middle part of the feature with Wight making the winning pass on a restart after a lap-25 caution. Once out-front Wight worked his way through cars at the back of the field while also holding off Jimmy Phelps for the popular win.

Pat Ward and Katelyn Hile led the Big Block Modified field down to the green with Ward grabbing the early, narrow advantage in the 35-lap feature.

With 10-laps showing on the scoring tower, Ward still showed the way out front as Larry Wight and Chad Phelps started closing in on the race leader.

At the 15-lap point teammates Ward and Wight were in a two-car battle for the lead with Jimmy Phelps a couple car lengths back ready to pounce on any mistake by the top two. Chad Phelps and Tom Sears Jr. were still in contention, showing in the top five.

After looking for a way around Ward, Wight went to the top of the speedway in turns three and four as he drove into the lead on lap 17.

The yellow flag would wave on lap-21 erasing the almost 2 second lead Wight had built up. On the restart Ward would use a power move on the top groove, retaking command of the race.

With 10-laps to go, Ward, Wight and Phelps were in a three-car slug-fest for the lead just before a yellow for a slowing car. Wight would take advantage of the restart as he put his car number back at the top of the scoring tower.

Over the remaining laps Jimmy Phelps could keep Larry Wight in sight but Wight was too quick as he cruised under the checkers 1.016 second ahead of Phelps. Pat Ward, Modified Rookie Ron Davis III and Tim Sears Jr. finished third through fifth.
