BOB McCREADIE CLAIMS COMEBACK WIN AT BREWERTON ON BUDWEISER NIGHT
BREWERTON, NY…Bob McCreadie is back! The legendary Watertown, N.Y. driver claimed the popular win in the 35 lap DIRT Modified feature at Brewerton Speedway last Friday on Budweiser Night. McCreadie capped a brief comeback after his hard crash at the D-shaped DIRT Demon three weeks ago. It was McCreadie’s 80th career win at Brewerton Speedway and was worth $1,700.
Bob McCreadie raced out to the early lead at the start of the 35 lap DIRT Modified feature from the pole starting position. After five laps McCreadie was being followed in the top five by Tim Fuller, Mike Hulsizer, Jimmy Phelps and Frankie Caprara. Fuller moved up fast from his seventh starting spot to second in just five circuits. Once in second Fuller started to work to take the top spot away from McCreadie.
At the halfway point of the main event McCreadie and Fuller continued to race in the top two spots. Following at this stage of the race in positions third through fifth in order included Phelps, Pat Ward and Chuck Bower. In the late going the man on the move appeared to be Bower who moved into third on lap 27. The race for the win continued to be a two car battle, however, between McCreadie and Fuller.
On several occasions Fuller was able to pull alongside of McCreadie, but he was never able to make it past. McCreadie went on for the dramatic win over Fuller. Billy Decker worked up to a third place finish with Bower and Alan Johnson completing the top five feature finishers. Pat Ward, Tom Sears Jr., Steve Hulsizer, Caprara and Ryan Baye finished in positions sixth through tenth respectively.
Bob Bradt claimed the win in the 20 lap Dean Hubbs Memorial IMCA Modified feature. It was Bradt’s third win of the season at Brewerton. Mike Chilson, Les Hubbard, John Hill and Mike Adderly completed the top five feature finishers. Bradt took the lead from Neil Edgar on lap six and went on for the win in the 27 car starting field.
Brian Evenden won his second Four Cylinder Stock feature of the season last Friday. Evenden won out over Roger West, Dave Myrto, Harvey Calkins Jr. and Chris Smith. Walt Van Epps and Todd Williamson were early race leaders before Evenden took command of the 15 lap race on lap four.
Tony Buffa won his fifth straight Dwarf Car feature race last Friday night. Buffa was followed on this occasion by Bob Magner, Ken Gamlen, Matt Magner and Darren Forbes. Dan Boyce led the opening five laps of the 20 lap feature. Buffa took over on lap six and went on to another win.
