(Weedsport, NY) – September 12, 2021 – Tyler Murray utilized lapped traffic to take advantage of Matt Guererri in a green to checkered main at Weedsport Speedway on Saturday evening, to claim the night’s $1,000 DIRTcar Sportsman winner’s check.
Murray started the night’s 30-lapper from the third position, directly behind polesitter Guererri, and trailed the No. 12G for the first half of the main event. Eventually the lead duo would hit lapped traffic, with a pair of lappers nearly spinning in front of Guererri, allowing the No. 1M of Murray to slide to the outside and snag the race lead, a lead he would never again relinquish.
Guererri, Will Shields, Brett Senek and WIlly Decker Jr. would trail Murray across the line in the top five positions followed by Austin Germinio, Dustin Bradley, Alan Fink, Quinn Wallis and Ryan Dolbear.
A total of 38 DIRTcar Sportsman were on hand on Saturday evening with Fink, Murray, Guererri and Senek capturing heat race wins. Consolation victories went to Brett Draper and Cody Manitta.
By virtue of their finishing positions on Saturday Shields, Decker, Germinio and Bradley have been added to Sunday night’s Stirling Lubricants Champions Challenge.
