Herrington wins Industrial Tire of CNY Sportsman Shootout

Fulton, NY (October 1, 2023): The Industrial Tire of CNY Sportsman Shootout had a new winner at this year’s edition of the Milton CAT Outlaw 200 Weekend at the Fulton Speedway.

Canadian Bobby Herrington started 15th in a talent laden field and systematically worked his way up through to take the lead for good with just two laps to go as he passed Tony Finch who had led the majority of the 50-lapper. At the checker Finch was right there in second and Emmett Waldron rounded out the podium.

Herrington said, “This is pretty cool. This was a deep field tonight. I felt we had a good car most of the race, but the 0 car was better than me late. We fired off well on a late restart and the end that is what we needed. We needed things to go our way and they did.”

The race was marred by a major mishap and several yellows as everyone wanted a shot at the $3,000. At the beginning of the event the yellow came out quickly with a slowdown in turn one, but on resumption of action Dave Moyer and Cody Manitta ran side by side as Manitta eventually led lap number one.

Manitta was able to stretch out the lead as Tony Finch moved into second place. Dustin Bradley brought out the yellow on the fifth lap and on the ensuing restart the field got to turn four when a multi-car mixup involving Zach Sobotka, Remington Hamm, Riley Rogala, Ryan Dolbear and Chuck Miller brought out the red. Finch finally went to the front on the sixth lap restart and it was everyone in pursuit.

Herrington moved to fifth by the 15th lap. Manitta started to close in on Finch and the duo eventually raced side by side. They swapped the front spot a few times. By the 19th lap it appeared to be a three-car battle as Finch, Manitta and Kyle Devendorf had put plenty of breathing room between themselves and the rest of the field.

At the halfway point the top ten included Finch, Manitta, Devendorf, Nick Heywood, Herrington, Waldron, Zach Buff, James Donaldson, Jason Parkhurst, Dave Moyer and Jimmy Moyer.

As “30” neared traffic saw the leaders draw together again as Manitta closed in, but Finch was able to clear the lapped car of Remington Hamm to gain some breathing room It had taken quite some time, but with 16 laps to go Herrington was finally able to move to fourth in getting past Heywood.

The yellow reared its ugly head again on the 26th lap when Dave Moyer slowed
between one and two. On the restart Manitta tried to take the high road around Finch between one and two, but was pushed high up on the racetrack thus opening the bottom and allowing several cars to close in.

As the lead group reached the fourth turn, Zach Buff went up on the cushion, Manitta drifted high and suddenly Cody’s tire made contact with Herrington’s right rear sending Manitta out of control down the front stretch.

Buff crashed into the rear end of the Manitta car and Sobotka ran full bore into the crippled machine. Jimmy Moyer got caught up in the mess and ended up on top of the Wade Chrisman machine as Manitta was flying up into the front stretch fence. Fortunately, everyone escaped injury, but it appeared Moyer was a bit sore from the impact.

There were just 13 laps left and Herrington tried to get to the front on the restart.
With nine to go the final yellow came out. The jockeying in the final laps was amazing as Herrington and Finch battled for the big paycheck while right behind them it was Waldron and Devendorf for third and fourth. Herrington finally pulled off the final pass with just two laps to go.

At the checker it was Herrington with the victory while a disappointed Finch was second and Waldron was third.

The Power Seal Driveway Sealing Jeremy Pitcher Memorial Sportsman Pole Dash turned out to be a preview of the majority of the feature event with Finch winning $514 over Manitta and Dave Moyer.
