Story by Kenny Shupp Jr.
(Dundee, NY) With the threat of late afternoon and early evening thunderstorms, fortunately none of it ever materialized and Outlaw Speedway was able to put another successful race night into the books.
The Dundee Food Pantry was the recipient of hundreds of non-perishable food items to beef up the local food pantry and fans that enjoyed a beautiful night of competition were once again treated to three and four side racing on the Fast 4/10 of a Mile Clay Oval.
In Friendly Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Modified 30 lap feature action, Brian Swarthout of Beaver Dams would lead the opening pair of circuits before being overhauled by Dundee’s Brady Fultz who would hold court at the top of the field for the next sixteen laps before giving way to Michael Maresca of Baldwinsville who lined up in position nine on the opening grid.
However, for Maresca it was no walk in the park as it took him several laps to dispose of Fultz prior to assuming the race lead which he would maintain for remaining ten laps in route to his second victory at Outlaw Speedway in 2026.
Super Matt Sheppard entered the program with a pair of feature wins thus far at Outlaw during the “26” campaign and on this night, he would start the feature along side Maresca in row five.
The two titans would work their way to the front and after both had passed Fultz it came down to a slug fest and with the third and final yellow flag of the event waving with just one lap remaining Sheppard had one final shot at Maresca, however the 2025 Modified Track Champion was able to hold off multi time Outlaw Track Title holder, Sheppard for the win.
Alex Payne had problems with his Big Boy Motorsports 19g and had to unload his own Big Block Powered 70a machine and was able to bring it home for a nice third place finish joining Maresca and Sheppard on the podium.
After leading most of the event, Fultz eventually would finish fourth which was his second top five finish in as many weeks.
Bobby Varin has not found 2026 not up to his liking piloting one of the Siri Motorsports potent Modifieds.
Broken parts, flat tires among other issues have found Varin buried in the points after a couple of years finishing in the top five, however with his fifth-place run, the monkey may be off his back.
Same is true with Brian Swarthout who does not chase points but competes when his family-owned business workload allows.
His Ford Powered TEO machine has shown signs of steady improvement as the former 3-time 358 Black Rock Speedway Track Champion had his best finish of the season coming home sixth at the double checkered flags.
It has been two years since Dundee, NY native Andrew Clark last visited Outlaw Speedway Victory Lane in the Knapp and Schlappi Lumber Crate Sportsman Division.
Clark joined Watkins Glen’s Craig Gardner on the front row for the twenty-five lap Sportsman feature which Gardner would lead for the opening seven circuits before being passed by Clark as he would lead from lap eight to the checkered flag without much pressure from second place finisher Blake Parsons who would wind up in the runner-up slot after starting sixth on the opening grid.
Last week’s Land of Legends feature winner, Chris Darling put on another brilliant performance at Outlaw in claiming third coming from fifth at the opening start.
Lindley’s Josh Nobriga had another solid run starting fourth and finishing right where he started as Brent Ayers moved forward from eleventh to complete the top five.
Clark’s margin of victory over Parsons was three and a half seconds.
Freeville’s Jerry Lobdell Jr has been a picture of consistency at Outlaw thus far in 2026 having come close on numerous occasions to finding victory lane but always seeming to come up just a bit short in Swarthout Recycling Street Stock competition.
However, on this night Lobdell was not going to be denied a win as he led the entire twenty-lap distance holding off a late race rally by April 17 Swarthout Recycling Street Stock winner Willie Easling of Beaver Dams.
Penn Yan’s Jimmy Grant entered the night riding a wave of top finishes at Outlaw Speedway including four trips to victory lane along with recent wins at Land of Legends and Genesee.
Grant would start the A Main inside row four and quickly moved through traffic, but without the help of any yellow flags to keep the field bunched up he had to settle for third as he was chased across the line by Joe Giardina and Ely Mangiarelli as they would complete the top five finishers as the two drivers continue to find much success this season.
2025 NAPA Hobby Stock Outlaw Speedway Track Champion, Danny Kerrick entered the night with five feature wins as the third gen Stanley, NY competitor along with Mr. Smooth Marc Minutolo have taken control of the division for the second year in a row and this week’s twenty-lap feature would be no different from the previous eight contested nights of action.
Kerrick would move quickly through the nine-car starting field from position eight and wrestle the top spot away from Brighton Grant who had led the opening six circuits.
From there Kerrick would cruise to his fifth win of the campaign holding off Minutolo who began the event alongside Kerrick in starting row four.
After leading early, Grant would drift late in the event, however he would hold on for third and join Kerrick and Minutolo on the podium.
Fourth place was garnered by Jared Hill of Dundee who advanced one spot with The Nature Boy, Mike Stone completing the top five dropping one position from his opening grid fourth starting slot.
A dozen of the thirteen drivers that checked in for the night went to the post for the twenty-lap MR Grafix Mini Stock feature event.
Jack Ormsby and former Track Champ, Jayson Smart would lead the group to the opening green, however both front row starters would drift allowing fourth row starters, Collin Mills and Bryant Beach an opening as they blasted through the field to assume command and that would be just how they would finish with Mills taking his first win of the year with Beach in tow.
Craig DeCamp entered the night riding a wave of four feature wins thus far, however the top two finishers were too much for him to manage as he would move forward from the fifth starting spot to claim fifth.
Defending class champion, Zach Daugherty of Elmira finished right where he began in fourth as Kenneth Evans completed the top five.
Congratulations to all competitors.
