Tim Sears Jr. Takes Victory Laurels In Modified Feature Friday Night At Brewerton Speedway

Story By: DAVE MEDLER / BREWERTON SPEEDWAY – BREWERTON, NY – Tim Sears Jr. became the fourth different winner in four Modified features run at the Brewerton Speedway in 2021.

Starting 14th in the Tracey Road Equipment DIRTcar Modified feature, Sears would take lead on a restart after a lap 11 caution and then looked to run away from the rest of the field. Larry Wight who started 22nd after making front end repairs from a heat race incident, steadily worked his way through the field setting up a late race battle with Sears that came down to the final lap.

Bob Henry Jr. and Modified rookie Torrey Stoughtenger would lead the early laps of the feature. Stoughtenger and Tim Sears Jr. would swap the lead a couple times with Sears taking the lead for good on lap 12.

The top of the speedway was the fast way around where Sears was running leaving Wight the bottom to the middle of the speedway to try and find a way by. On the final lap Sears was able to narrowly go between two lapped cars that would put enough distance between him and Wight to score the exciting win. Tyler Trump, Jimmy Phelps and Tom Sears Jr. finished third through fifth.

Larry Wight was the Murphy Tree Service Hard Charger of the race pocketing $100.

Other winners on Stirling Lubricants/Champion Racing oil night were, Max Hill (Sportsman) Justin Williams (Mod Lites) and Chuck Powelczyk (4-Cylinders).

Max Hill, in his first full season in the DOT Foods DIRTcar Sportsman, would take the lead on lap 1 off the 25-lap feature and would set a fast pace out front.

With 10 laps showing on the scoring tower Hill opened an almost full straightaway lead leaving Quinn Wallis, Tim Devendorf, Earl Rudy, and Zach Sobotka who started 14th to battle it out for second through fifth.

Hill would maintain that straightaway lead with 10 laps remaining as he started catching the back of the field. Rudy, Sobotka, Wallis and Devendorf still raced in the top-five.

Over the final laps Max Hill drove through traffic like a seasoned veteran out-distancing Zach Sobotka for his first career Sportsman win. Tim Devendorf, Zach Payne and Amy Holland finished third through fifth.

In the 20-lap AmeriCU Credit Union Mod Lite feature, Tom Mackey would lead the opening laps before Kyle Demo took over the top-spot on lap 7.

Over the second half of the race Demo and Justin Williams would break away from the rest of the field to settle it with Williams grabbing his third win of the season. Mike Mullen, Tom Mackey and Joe Garafolo finished third through fifth.

The 15-lap Fleet Repairs 4-Cylinder feature would see Quinn Wallis and Chuck Powelczyk both lead laps. The race came down to the final lap drag race out of turn four that would see Powelczyk win by a bumper over Wallis. Damian Bechler, Eric Rowley and Jamie Radley completed the top-five.
