Fulton Speedway Takes Center Stage This Weekend With 33rd Outlaw 200 Weekend
Story By: DAVE MEDLER / FULTON SPEEDWAY – FULTON, NY – One of the most prestigious events to win in Northeast racing is set to take place this Friday & Saturday, September 28-29 when all roads lead to the Fulton Speedway for the 33rd Annual Outlaw 200 Weekend presented by SUNY Canton.
The party gets underway Wednesday, September 26th when camping will officially open at 5:00 pm. There are no reserved camping spots as it is a on a first come, first serve basis.
On-track action will kick-off Friday night with the Pit Stop Convenience Stores NLMA Late Model 50, Dig Safely New York Mod Lite Outlaw Championship, E&V Energy Novice Sportsman Championship and the JB Logging & Firewood 4-Cylinder Open.
Joining the exciting Friday night action will be the Industrial Tire of CNY Sportsman Shootout heats and Consolations. The Modifieds will have side-by-side racing with 15-lap qualifiers for Saturday’s SUNY Canton Outlaw 200. The Modified winners will earn the 17th-20th starting spots for the 200. The winners can improve their starting spots in Saturday heat races.
On Saturday the intensity will be turned way up as a large field of Modifieds will be competing for a coveted starting spot in one of the crown jewels in Northeast racing, the $20,000-to-win 33rd Annual Modified Outlaw 200.
Joining the Modifieds on the Saturday party of speed will be the Sportsman as they will lock horns looking for a starting spot in the $2,500-to-win Industrial Tire of CNY Sportsman Shootout 50.
In 2017 Friday night’s action saw a record 265 cars filled the spacious Fulton Speedway pits. Feature action saw Charlie Sandercock (Late Models) Jeff May (Mod Lites) DJ Forbes & Michael-Wagner Fitzgerald (Novice Sportsman) Corbin Millar (4-Cyl) wrote their names in the record books as Outlaw 200 Weekend winners.
Also, on Friday night 111 Sportsman attempted to qualify through heat races plus over forty Modifieds got the jump on cars who signed in on Saturday as they ran 15-lap qualifiers with the winners securing the 17-20 starting spots in the 200.
On Saturday in the Outlaw 200 Billy Decker won the battle royal over Mike Mahaney, Larry Wight, Alan Johnson and Danny Johnson for his fourth Outlaw 200 victory.
In the Sportsman Shootout 50, Ron Davis III, the Fulton Speedway track champion took home the $2,500 winner share as he out-ran Sportsman heavy hitters Dave Marcuccilli, Rocky Warner, Todd Root and Brad Rouse for his second straight Outlaw 200 weekend triumph.
Beyond winning the Sportsman Shootout, the race holds a high level of importance in the Northeast Sportsman landscape as it will be the first event in the DIRTcar Sportsman Championship Series ‘Fall Championship Challenge,’ the format that will see the best drivers from four different regions face off in a six-race playoff for the Overall DIRTcar Sportsman Championship.
