FULTON, N.Y. — Billy Decker celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his inaugural win in the ‘Showdown at Sundown’ by posting an impressive flag-to-flag victory Saturday at Fulton Speedway in the Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series title event presented by Bradco Supply and Ferries Mowers.
Even a late-race caution that extended the scheduled century run to 101 laps wasn’t enough to deny the Unadilla, N.Y., driver his second Advance Series triumph of the young season, which unofficially vaulted him into a tie with third-place finisher Dale Planck for the tour point lead after five races.
Decker collected the $6,000 top prize ahead of Danny Johnson, Planck, reigning overall Mr. DIRTcar Brett Hearn and 2008 opening-day series winner Matt Sheppard.
In four more weeks, the Advance Auto Parts big-block modifieds are back in action in Western New York at Ransomville Speedway on July 3 with another $6,000-to-win 100-lapper offering valuable points towards the overall Hoosier Tire Mr. DIRTcar Championship.
The finish:
Billy Decker, Danny Johnson, Dale Planck, Brett Hearn, Matt Sheppard, Jimmy Phelps, Alan Johnson, Pat O’Brien, Gary Tomkins, Justin Haers, Billy Dunn, Tom Sears, Jr., Ryan Phelps, Steve Paine, Frankie Capara, Mike Bowman, Vince Vitale, Dan Vauter, Larry Wight, Jeff Brownell, Jr., Sean Beardsley, Chad Phelps, Kevin Bates, Jim Witko, Jr., Chuck Bower, Dave Rauscher, Pete Taylor, Tim Sears, Steve Hulsizer.
