BROCKVILLE , ON - Billy Decker doesn't have alot of experience at Brockville Ontario Speedway. Decker made just his fourth career start at the Beast of the East on Thursday night and wheeled his Gypsum Wholesalers in victory lane in the Advance Auto Parts Series, BOB-FM-Coca-Cola 100 for big block modifieds.
The dream year continues for Decker, who now has four series wins in just 7 races this season and is already into double digits in feature wins in 2008. He grabbed the top spot on lap 2 from Pat O Brien and used a consistent low groove in all four turns to lead the final 99 circuits enroute to the victory. The only real challenge for Decker came around lap 70 on the final restart of a relatively caution free affair as Jimmy Phelps came up to challenge on the outside, but the effort wasn't enough after a few laps and Decker cruised the rest of the way for the win.
Phelps was second in front of former Brockville track champ Steve Paine, with Dale Planck and Frankie Caprara rounding out the top five. Defending track champion Danny O Brien made a pit stop just before the halfway mark work for him as he charged back through the field to finish 9th. The Pocket Rocket was also the highest finishing small block in the race. 12 cars finished on the lead lap.
Decker wasn't the only double digit feature winner to tame the Beast of the East as Napanee's Chris Raabe captured his first career Super Dirt Series taking the companion 30 lap Sportsman checkered flag. The 17 year old phenom, Raabe grabbed the lead away from invader Dan Wiesner before 10 laps were in and then showed his usual driving precision pulling away for over a 2 second victory with the final half of the event completely caution free. Tyler MacPherson emerged from mid pack with a gallant charge to come through in the third spot followed by Loren Lincoln and Eric Giguere. 14 year old Luke Whitteker started on the pole and led the first lap and had a solid run ending up finishing in sixth position.
Brockville Ontario Speedway returns to action with Tackaberry Construction Fan Appreciation Night on Saturday July 12th with a special 20 dollar a car load admission and an autograph session as well. The green flag drops at 7pm.
