(Dundee, NY) – Dave Marcuccilli makes rare appearances at Outlaw Speedway from season to season, but always seems to capitalize when he makes the trip.

 

Marcuccilli cashed in this weekend at the Outlaw Fall Nationals by winning not only the Grit Hoosier Series event on Friday night, but also by winning the open tire Crate Sportsman Shootout on Saturday at the “Fast Four-Tenths-Mile”.

 

Friday night saw Marcuccilli roll off from the fourth starting position, while AJ Lloyd took off and led the opening eleven laps from the pole position.  Lloyd had the Fox’s Auto No. 1F running well on Friday night after running the full season at Outlaw.

 

Lloyd was doing yeoman’s work to keep the blue painted No. M1 behind him, while Marcuccilli worked on slipping by Lloyd on the bottom lane.  After eleven laps of not being able to make the pass down low, Marcuccilli went to the outside lane to make his move.

 

Marcuccilli tossed it up top and rode the cushion around turns three and four, snookering Lloyd to make the pass for the lead exiting turn four.  From there, it was all done except for the photos and victory lane interview. 

 

A caution on lap fifteen for Dylan Zacharias allowed the field to bunch back up to Marcuccilli, but he would drive away on the restart to secure the win.  It was a big win for Marcuccilli for Grit Hoosier points, as he and Rocky Warner were tied going into the event.  Warner drove from his eighteenth starting spot to finish fifth, but would lose the tie for the point lead.

 

Marcuccilli, Lloyd, Woodhull regular Brandon Butler, Outlaw regular Stacey Jackson and Warner filled out the top five.

 

Saturday saw the Crate Sportsman drivers return for an open tire show, with the same driver ending his night in Victory Lane.  But it wasn’t nearly as easy, as Marcuccilli had to go through 2016 Outlaw Speedway Crate Sportsman track champion Chris Fisher.

 

Fisher led the event from the drop of the green flag, leading the first eighteen laps of the thirty-five-lap event that paid two thousand dollars to the victor.  Marcuccilli got by Fisher to lead the event on lap nineteen, but Fisher wouldn’t go away easy as he reclaimed the lead on lap twenty-one.

 

It took Marcuccilli three more laps to work his way back by Fisher for good, as he would race away to the weekend sweep.  Rocky Warner picked off several cars late in the going to finish second over Nick Guererri who advanced to third from mid-pack.  Fisher and Corey Curuli rounded out the top five.
