FONDA, NY – Sept. 23, 2017 – Saturday night’s St. Lawrence Radiology 100 at Fonda Speedway came down to a pair of track champions. Tim Fuller, the 2017 title winner at Fonda, showed the way with multi-time champion Bobby Varin in pursuit. It looked like Fuller was had the win sewn up as he had a comfortable advantage over Varin with just a handful of laps to go. Unfortunately for Fuller, his right rear tire gave way on the final lap handing the top spot over to Varin who led the final circuit for his first Super DIRTcar Series win of the year.
