FULTON, NY – October 8, 2020 – On night three of DIRTcar OktoberFAST presented by DIRTVision, Jimmy Phelps was simply untouchable. Phelps, from Baldwinsville, NY, wheeled his Billy Whittaker Cars Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modified and his HBR No. 98H Bicknell Racing DIRTcar 358 Modified to Victory Lane on the same night at Fulton Speedway to win a grand total of $12,500.
Mike Mahaney, from King Ferry, NY, was the best of the rest. Mahaney made some aggressive movies early to put himself in a position to go after Phelps. The No. 35 Adirondack Auto Big Block Modified made serious ground the leader but he could not keep up in traffic.
After a difficult OktoberFAST opener for Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario’s Stewart Friesen, the No. 44 came up through the field in a hurry and got right to Mahaney’s back bumper. Friesen and his stout Halmar team had to settle for third.
