HOGANSBURG, NY – With threatening skies in the area the track prep crew was ready to challenge Mother Nature and come away victorious. Green Reserve Dispensary would be on hand as the evening’s sponsor as they welcomed the Dirtcar 358 modifieds for Round 2 of the Good Leaf series, Dirtcar Sportsman, Dirtcar Pro Stocks and the Mod Lites. After the heats were completed, it was time for the features.
First to go, would be the Mod Lites for 12 laps. It would be Wayne Dibble and Jack Lyon on the front row. Harley Brown would go on to pick up the win on the last lap as he would pass Wayne Dibble.
The Pro Stocks were up next for 20 laps. Kevin Fetterly Jr would start from the pole and to his side would be Marc Lalonde. On lap 2 Denis Gauvreau and Roch Aubin would come together coming off turn 4 to bring out the first yellow. On the restart, Fetterly would again gain the advantage. However on lap 8 Zach Daniels would overtake Fetterly and bring Eli Gilbert with him. On lap 9 the yellow would come out again. On the restart Daniels would fire quickly and lead them off of turn 2 with Gilbert in pursuit. Daniels would remain the race leader by the half way mark with GIlbert still in tow. Zach Daniels would lead the rest of the way to pick up first ever feature win in a Pro stock.
Round 2 of the Good Leaf 358 series would be up next for 40 laps. They would see Michael Maresca and Jordan McCreadie lead from the front row. Maresca would get off to a early lead and begin to break away. By lap 22 Maresca would hide himself deep in lap traffic. Maresca would go unchallenged to pick second win of the Good Leaf series.
