AJ Wins on Dirt Tour, RJ $5,000 Richer, Van Pelt Unstoppable on T3 TourTidbits and other winners

Alan Johnson kept us his strong end of the year by winning his second Super Dirt Series race of the year since teaming up with Jake Spraker and Eric Kingsley. Johnson won the LaBatt's 100 at Canandaigua Speedway for $6,000. Mike Fusco signed on to drive the Masagarus Motorsports #93 the rest of the year (the fourth driver they've had this year after Jimmy Davis, Danny Varin, and Bob Henry have all ran it) and finished 2nd in an exciting race in the BBL 50 at Fonda Speedway worth $5,000 to win. Ronnie Johnson passed Fusco with just 3 laps to go to grab the win. Billy Van Pelt contiued his quest for winning his 3rd T3 All-Star Series championship in their 3rd year of existance with another win at Little Valley.

Duane Howard swept twin 30s at Bridgeport Speedway giving him 3 wins in 2 days, but it was Mike Iles that won his first career championship in the big block division at Bridgeport. Chris Esposito stunned the Grandview field by winning his first ever race in the small block modified division, it was Grandview's points night and Wago driver Jeff Strunk was officially declared champion after clinching a few weeks ago. Keith Hoffman won the feature event at New Egypt, but Billy Pauch's 3rd place finish was enough to win him yet another track championship. Jamie Mills won the Delaware International Speedway championship

Bobby Varin has signed on to run the remaining races at Grandview Speedway in the DiNatale Motorsports #11D. Also, Big Diamond feature winner this year John Willman has quit the Wilson Motorsports #16w. Willman also quit the Saracino Racing #91 earlier this year, he'll now pilot his own #74w the rest of the year with the exception of the Diamond Nationals, where he'll run the Eastern Rigging Racing #11 small block.
