Caleb Drugan (17) gets on the roof and celebrates his 1st JS Steel Sportsman Modified win of the season and a $1,250 payday. PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — The Super DIRTcar Series made its long‑awaited return to Airborne Park Speedway on Thursday night, headlining the Thunder in the Adirondacks program after a seven‑year break. Fans packed the facility despite a three‑hour rain delay, and once the track came to life, it was fast, tacky, and unforgiving — perfect for a night of high‑intensity dirt racing. The first feature of the evening was the RainPro of Vermont Limited Sportsman Modifieds, where Stephen Bushey grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and never looked back. Bushey steadily pulled away from Antony Boissonneault to score his first career Airborne Park Speedway victory, while points leader Gary English charged from mid‑pack to finish third, extending his advantage to 15 points. The spotlight then shifted to the Super DIRTcar Series Thunder in the Adirondacks 60, paying $7,200 to win. A strong field of 27 Big‑Block Modifieds took the green. Jimmy Phelps and Peter Britten staged the early battle, but Phelps eventually gained control. Late pressure came from the last two Series champions — Mat Williamson and Matt Sheppard — yet Phelps held firm, securing his second win in the last three tour events. Williamson’s runner‑up finish trimmed the championship gap to 37 points behind Alex Yankowski. In the JS Steel Sportsman Modified 25‑lap, $1,250‑to‑win feature, Caleb Drugan dominated from the start, quickly opening a gap on the field. Travis Bruno and Michael Wright tried to reel him in, but Drugan was untouchable, collecting the payday and his first win of the season. Bruno’s runner‑up finish was enough to move him into the Sportsman points lead. The Renegades followed with a 20‑lap event. Shawn Duquette paced the early laps before overheating issues forced him to the pits with five laps remaining. Nathaniel Guay inherited the lead and held off Josh Terry for the victory. Billy Thwaits finished third, tightening the division’s championship battle — he now trails Shawn Duquette by six points entering the second half of the season. The night concluded with the Mini Stocks, where 23 cars took the green. Tyler Bell controlled the race from the start, fending off all challengers to earn his first Airborne win of the season. Jamie Whitney and Randy Martin completed the podium. With Jeremiah King finishing eighth and Jake Fountain suffering a DNF, King moved into the points lead by 10. Airborne Park Speedway returns to its regular Thursday Night Thunder schedule on July 30, featuring the Limited Sportsman Modified $500‑to‑win special along with all weekly divisions. Gallery

Then it would be time for the Dirtcar Sportsman Modified East Series event, where we would see Elliott Gamache take the lead at the start and not look back. He would have Shane Pecore trying to chase him down that night, but he would be no match for him. Then it would be time for the main event of the evening, the Summer Shootout 75 for the Super Dirtcar Series event, where Alex Yankowski and Stewart Friesen would battle for the early lead. Although Mat Williamson who had been the class field all year long on the series would come up and throw his name in the mix and him and Stewart Friesen would have a battle for the ages as they go after the $7,500 first place check and on his night Stewart Fresien would get the best of Mat Wililamson and the Batman Peter Britten would round out the top three.

Beauchamp would pass Chuck Dumblewski coming off turn four and cash in on the 2,000 dollar paycheck. That would only leave one race left on the day and that would be the Bill Whitaker Car and Truxs 200. It would be a great race up front all day between Jimmy Phelps and Larry Wight battling for the lead all day long. The eventual winner would be Larry Wight as Jimmy Phelps had to make late race pitstop for a tire issue. Although that would not end the race as Stewart Friesen would battle to the end to try and deny the win for Larry Wight. With the win Larry Wight would win first Super Dirt Week and cash in the 50,000. Gallery
