DUNDEE, NY.....Outlaw Speedway was able to survive the storm front that moved through the area Friday afternoon and evening, and though the start of racing was signifcantly delayed, the track crew worked hard to get the surface in racing shape and fans were treated to a tacky, fast track on Little League Night.
Steve Paine held the lead through restarts and a red flag for a flip by Tyler Siri in the 30-lap Friendly Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Outlaw Modified feature's first half. Matt Sheppard came from his 8th starting spot to second to challenge Paine as Alan Johnson came charging up from 15th to the third spot.
