Middletown, NY – June 17, 2009 – By Tom Skibinski, Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series PR Director For more News, Notes & Points, log into www.superdirtcarseries.com Defending overall Hoosier Tire-VP Racing Fuels Mr. DIRTcar points champion Billy Decker prevailed through the elements Wednesday night at Orange County Fair Speedway, capturing his first Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series event of the year in the Benjamin Moore Paints-Mohegan Sun 'The Big Show' presented by event promoter Brett Hearn. Decker first waited through over an hour delay for a freak generator fire, then coasted around the slickening 5/8-mile Middletown oval for a half-dozen laps in the rain before officials dropped the final checkered flag with 59 of the scheduled 100 laps complete. “I don’t care if it was a 15-lapper, that would’ve been good enough for me,” remarked Decker, 44, following his 50th career Advance Series victory that was his third at Orange County. Worth a cool $6,000 to the Unadilla, New York pilot, his DIRTcar Northeast circuit high seventh feature win of 2009 vaulted him from 13th to fourth in the series standings through three events. |
