Susice Claims Freedom Biggie

DELEVAN, N.Y. — Ryan Susice captured the 29-lap Big Block/Small Block modified feature on night two of the BDK Construction Fall Classic at Freedom Motorsports Park.

Ricky Newton grabbed the lead at the start with Chad Brachmann and Ryan Susice in tow.  Susice took the lead on lap 6 and pulled away from Newton while Brachmann battled Luke Carleton for third spot. 

Brachmanm found the outside groove around the halfway point and pulled a solid move to take second on lap 16, but Susice was nearly half a lap ahead in the top spot.  Susice didn’t encounter lapped traffic till lap 22, but maintained his advantage and took the win, which offered a spot in the Outlaw 200 at Fulton Speedway.  Brachmann held off Carleton for second, followed by Newton and James Sweeting. 

The 29-lap Crate Late Model feature saw J.J. Mazur take the early lead from Steve Labarron while Mike Wonderling grabbed third from Steve Dixon.  The leaders hit lapped traffic just past the halfway point, with the top four all close together.  Labarron had a bobble that dropped him to fifth behind Paul Grigsby as Wonderling grabbed second and tried to run Mazur down.  Mazur threaded through the lapped traffic and pulled away in the late stages to take the victory in the caution-free contest, with Wonderling, Dixon, Grigsby, and Labarron rounding out the top five.


In the 29-lap Pro Mod feature, Brodie Hill took the lead from Zain Harvey while Steve Dixon, Tyler Sutton, and Victor Earle Jr fought for third.  After a quick caution bunched the field, Dixon passed both Hill and Harvey for the lead. 

Dixon built up a lead over Harvey and Sutton as Adam Ashcroft started tearing through the field, moving into fourth near the halfway point. Sutton spun out of the second spot, which brought out the caution and set up a battle between Friday night’s winner, Dixon, and Ashcroft.  Ashcroft took his best shot on a lap-20 restart, getting alongside Dixon on a couple of occasions, but Dixon roared away to take the win over Ashcroft, Harvey, Tyler Oakes, and Victor Earle Jr. 

The 20-lap Street Stock main event got a bump up to $750 to win from BDK Construction, and Bobby Lippa Jr snagged the lead at the start from Justin Neff.  Joe Chamberlain had an issue and dropped out on lap two as Lippa spun in front of the field, with everyone avoiding contact.  Neff inherited the lead as Tom Kemp and Byron Dewitt battled for second. 

Kemp and Neff battled for the lead while Tim Schram slipped past Dweitt for third, but Schram spun out of the spot a few laps later.  Neff and Kemp battled furiously over teh final laps, with Kemp taking the lead on the backstretch on the final lap to get the win.  Neff was second, followed by Dewitt, Lippa and Zac Walsh.
