NAPA Super DIRT Week – Saturday results, Sunday schedule

Paine earns final Syracuse 200 starting spot at Rolling Wheels Raceway

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Oct. 10, 2015 – Saturday’s NAPA Super DIRT Week race card leading up to Sunday’s Finale at the Fairgrounds $50,000-to-win Syracuse 200 was action-packed.

In addition to Jimmy Phelps’ victory in the Salute to the Troops 150 for 358-Modifieds and the Triple-20’s for Big-Block Modifieds, Aussie Peter Britten was triumphant in the 20-lap Big-Block Last Chance Race that earned a Syracuse 200 starting spot for seven drivers.

Last Chance Race Finish (20 laps): 1. Peter Britten, 2. Brian Swarthout, 3. Mark Forte Jr., 4. Jeff Rockefeller, 5. Tom Sears Jr., 6. Bob McGannon, 7. Jamie Maier, 8. Kevin Albert, 9. Marcus Dinkins, 10. Dave Allen, 11. Tyler Siri, 12. Vince Vitale, 13. Billy VanInwegen, 14. Tommy Flannigan, 15. Jeff Miller, 16. Steve Feder, 17. Mickael Labreche, 18. Mike Turner, 19. Rick Reglaski Jr., 20. Bob Hamm Jr., 21. Todd Milton, 22. Roy Bresnahan, 23. Frankie Caprara.

Steve Paine of Waterloo, N.Y. survived pressure from a determined Mike Bowman after taking control early in the “Win and You’re In” Big-Block Modified 25-lap event at Rolling Wheels. The victory assured Paine the final starting spot in the Syracuse 200 field.

In the “Salute to the Troops 150”, Phelps steered his Troyer Mud Buss across the finish line 0.465 of a second in front of Billy Dunn, who charged around the outside of Tim McCreadie in turn one on the restart with two laps to go and made a bid for a dramatic victory. Dunn pulled up to Phelps’s rear bumper entering one on the last circuit, but Phelps pulled away by several car lengths off turn two and carried the momentum to the checkered flag.

McCreadie, who pitted for fuel with Phelps on lap 41 and then was the second car out of the pit area behind Phelps when the two drivers came in again to make their mandatory post-lap-50 pit stop on the 69th circuit, settled for a third-place finish. Brett Hearn finished fourth and Marc Johnson placed fifth after cracking the top five on a lap-139 restart.

Sportsman Shane Pecore of Cornwall, ON and Pro Stock Rob Yetman of Castleton, N.Y. were the quickest qualifiers in their division’s respective time trials. Each will start from the pole position in the divisional features on Sunday.

New Jersey’s Brian Papiez of Belle Mead, N.J. was initially the fastest Sportsman qualifier, but his time was disallowed because post-race inspection found his car to have an unapproved air-box.
