GAFFNEY, S.C. – Billy Decker bested a slim five-car field to win the big-block modified portion of the Prelude to the Finals Tuesday at Cherokee Speedway.
Decker started on the front row alongside Mike Mahaney and took the lead after a brief battle with Mahaney. Once out front Decker pulled away to a comfortable $5,000 victory aboard his No. 91 entry.
“If anybody had known this track was going to be this nice there would have been a lot more cars here,” Decker said. “I got a little flash there by the 35 car (Mahaney) early, he was really good. I moved it down a groove and gassed it up a little bit and the car responded.”
Mahaney finished second, nearly three seconds back of Decker. Rocky Warner, Alex Yankowski and Kevin Root completed the running order.
The race was broadcasted by SPEED SPORT TV affiliate Pit Row TV.
