Champion Oil, a recognized leader in racing lubricants, congratulates Erick Rudolph who was unstoppable at Utica-Rome Speedway. In the opening event for the Dirt Track Digest 358-Modifieds, it was Rudolph and his Stirling Lubricants sponsored car went wire-to-wire for the feature win using Champion Racing Oil.
Clinton, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/22/2020 -- Rudolph beat Mat Williamson off the drop of the green for the 30-lap feature, but four yellows in the first eight laps kept Rudolph in check with the rest of the pack. Pat Ward snuck by Williamson on an early restart to settle into second, while Sportsman winner Matt Janczuk climbed to fourth in a rare Modified appearance.
Ward and Williamson spent much of the middle stages of the event arguing over second, while Janczuk and Dave Marcuccilli went at it for fourth and fifth. As the laps ticked away and the halfway point was passed, Rudolph continued to grow his lead, up to three seconds by lap 20.
While Rudolph ran away, Ward and Williamson continued to battle. Williamson finally pried under Ward and took the spot with 21 circuits done, while further back, Marcuccilli got by Janczuk. With polite traffic and no pressure from behind, Rudolph had clear sailing en route to the finish, claiming the win and the first 358-Modified feature of the season. Williamson came home second, with Ward, Marcuccilli, and Janczuk completing the top five.
