In a matter of weeks, Dale Planck doubled his career output as he put the RezX Racing No. 77x in victory lane Sunday night at Cayuga County Fair Speedway after capturing the Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series Hall of Fame Classic.
Planck’s fourth Advance Auto Parts Series win was his second big-block modified triumph at the home of DIRTcar NorthEast and netted him the $6,000 top prize.
He is now within three points of leader Brett Hearn in his bid for the overall Hoosier Tire Mr. DIRTcar Championship.
The 76-lap modified main was slowed by just three caution periods with Planck grabbing the lead from pole-sitter Justin Haers on lap 21 and outlasting last year’s Hall of Fame Classic co-winner Danny Johnson to claim the decisive victory.
Reigning Cayuga County points king Jimmy Phelps charged into third at the stripe followed by Tim Fuller and Haers.
The finish:
Dale Planck, Danny Johnson, Jimmy Phelps, Tim Fuller, Justin Haers, Billy Decker, Alan Johnson, Gary Tomkins, Brett Hearn, Frankie Caprara, Vic Coffey, Ryan Phelps, Billy Dunn, Matt Sheppard, Chad Homan, Larry Wight, Jeff Brownell, Jr., Pat O’Brien, Sean Beardsley, Chuck Bower, Dan Vauter, Kevin Bates, Dave Rauscher, Rob Bellinger, Jason Potter, Derrid Podsiadlo, Steve Paine, Shannon Whaley, Ryan Bartlett.
