Ronny Williams scores win at Stafford Speedway

Posted by Wayne G.Barber

In the 40-lap SK Modified® feature event, Bryan Narducci and Troy Talman dueled side by side for the lead with the 2 rows behind hem side by side for position.  Cory DiMatteo made a strong move to go from third to the lead going into turn 3 on lap-4 with Talman in second.  Ronnie Williams was up to third with Narducci and Michael Christopher, Jr. side by side for fourth.  Williams moved into second on lap-6 with Talman falling back to third.  Christopher was fourth and Keith Rocco was up to fifth as Narducci had fallen back to eighth in line.
With 10 laps complete it was DiMatteo out front with Williams, Christopher, Rocco, and Todd Owen making up the top-5.  Stephen Kopcik was sixth followed by Talman, Membrino, Narducci, and Mikey Flynn. 
The order remained the same until lap-20 when Williams went by DiMatteo coming out of turn 2.  Christopher was still in third with Rocco in fourth and Owen in fifth.  The caution came out with 21 laps complete for a spin in the middle of turns 3+4 by Marc Burke.
Williams took the lead on the restart with Christopher taking second.  Owen moved into third with Kopcik moving up to fourth and Rocco was fifth.  DiMatteo slid back to sixth in line with Talman, Michael Gervais, Jr., Andrew Molleur, and Membrino behind him.  Tyler Hines spun through the frontstretch grass to bring the caution back out with 25 laps complete.
Williams took the lead on the restart with Christopher and Owen side by side for second behind him.  Rocco and Kopcik were side by side for fourth behind Christopher and Owen.  Owen took second on lap-28 with Kopcik taking fourth and dropping Rocco back to fifth as Williams continued to lead. 
Williams led lap-33 to collect a $433 bonus that was put up by Doug Dunleavy from Dunleavy’s Truck and Trailer Repair in memory of Wade Cole.  Williams led Owen and the field to the checkered flag to pick up his first win of the 2020 season.  Kopcik finished third with Christopher and Rocco rounding out the top-5.
