Tim Fuller Conquers Return of the Big-Blocks to Eldora Speedway
Fuller fends off big field at The Big E, Captures Aspen Dental Dirt Derby 100
(Mandee Pauch) ROSSBURG, Ohio – July 19, 2016 – After a 10-year absence the Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds returned to Eldora Speedway Tuesday night as Tim Fuller battled through the field and claimed his second series victory of the year.
For Fuller, the win was his second big-block modified victory at the historic half-mile oval in Rossburg, Ohio since 2006.
‘I’m real happy,” Fuller said. “We won the last modified race here in 2006 and then Tony Stewart buys it and I get to win it. It’s really good – it’s a very special place.”
“I knew it was going to make the start of the race way better after I drew 12th. It actually opened up the racing and it made it where there was a bottom, middle, and a top. You could float all over this place. It was really a lot of fun.”
The win did not come without a little adversity at the front of the pack as several drivers battled for that top spot. (more…)
