MALTA, N.Y. — Stewart Friesen notched his fifth Albany-Saratoga Speedway win Friday night in the Twin Towers Memorial, in the process pushing his overall win total beyond the two dozen mark. “The track was coming to us at the end, but Stewart was out there,” summed up Johnson. The duo battled for the lead early on but Britten could never put Williamson away and by lap eight the third starting Friesen had kicked it into passing gear and drove under Britten to take second. “It’s fun having a great race car like this,” observed Friesen. Lap 37 saw Williamson get squeezed into the wall and drop from contention, with Friesen leading DeLorenzo, Johnson, Perrego, Wight and Phelps on the final restart. Johnson soon dispatched the rim riding DeLorenzo for second with Wight, normally a rocket on the cushion, dropping low and working his way to third with three to go.
