(SODUS, NY) – Billy VanInwegen took home a prestigious victory on Sunday at Thunder Mountain Speedway, capturing the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products A-Main on Decker Memorial Night.
It was the second win of the CRSA 2023 season for “Billy V” who was piloting the VanDusen family-owned No. 56V. The win marked his first since a dominating performance at Weedsport and was the Port Jervis, NY’s sixth career win on tour, tying him with drivers like Steve Lapine, Jamie Christian, Eddie Strada, Thomas Radivoy, Dalton Herrick and Jordan Hutton.
A tricky feature surface gave drivers all they could handle but saw great stories on the podium. Ron Greek, a first-time CRSA winner at Thunder Mountain in 2022, would take the second step on the podium. Aaron Shelton would bring team owner Matt Priscott their career best finish with a fine third place effort. Radivoy and Tyler Chartrand rounded out the top five.
The races Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the race and an additional $25 went to “The Canadian Kid” Tomy Moreau, who passed nine cars enroute to a fourteenth place finish.
Shelton took home an extra $25 as he earned the Maguire Cars “Magnificent Move of the Race” for a career-best run of third in the event.
