The
final night of the Part Source Applefest Shootout lived up
to expectations as 103 cars filed into the Brighton Speedway
for 265 laps of feature race action. The evening was
highlighted by the only appearance of the year for the
DIRTcar 358 Modifieds.
Rudolph
Runs Away with Victory
Erick
Rudolph (No. 25) was not going to leave the Brighton
Speedway this weekend without a victory. The DIRTcar 358
Modified regular led 98 of the 100 laps on route to his
second win in as many years at the one-third mile oval. The
only two times he lost his lead were on laps immediately
following a restart when Danny O’Brien (No. 17d) got the
jump on him.
After
a couple of cautions in the first 10 laps of the race, a
long green flag run propelled Rudolph to the front of the
field. By lap 35, Rudolph had extended his lead to eight
seconds over the second-place O’Brien. By lap 60, that
lead was stretched to 12 seconds. When caution finally came
out again on lap 67, O’Brien was the only car that had not
been lapped by the flying Rudolph.
Three
more cautions in the final 33 laps of the race meant that
five of the 22-car field finished the race on the lead lap.
But even with those late cautions, Rudolph still managed to
win the 100-lap main event by almost four seconds.
