WEEDSPORT - Danny Johnson drove from eighth on the grid to take the lead on lap 40 and held on for the Bill McNabb Memorial Hall of Fame Classic win Sunday night at the Cayuga County Fair Speedway. The victory was worth $6,000 to the JIR Racing Team.
Johnson held off a fast-closing Gary Tomkins who made a late-race charge from 13th to claim second place at the finish. “I've got to give credit to Jeff Isabell,” Johnson said. “I'm glad to be part of a great team, and they gave me a great car for tonight. I tried to be patient, yet aggressive, and I was able to get a good run on Fuller off the bottom of the track.
“This win should be a momentum builder for the team. Our spirits will be high.”
Fuller, the early leader and defending race champion, held on for third, Vic Coffey was fourth, barely holding off the advances of Pat Ward, and Waterloo's Steve Paine rounded out the top five.
Jimmy Phelps was sixth, followed by Billy Decker in seventh. Johnson's JIR teammate Tom Sears Jr. was eighth at the checkered, and Dale Planck and Alan Johnson completed the top-10 finishers.
Russ Hefti won his second 20-lap sportsman feature on the season at CCFS.
Joe Williams finished a close second, with Rob Bellinger third, and early leader Roy Bresnahan fourth and Tommy Juhl fifth.
Wayne Ellison won the 12-lap street-stock feature.
