MALTA, N.Y. — First Canadian Jordan Poirier claimed the Lucas Oil Empire Super Sprints feature, then Demetrious “The Greek Streak” Drellos wheeled his modified like a sprint car to take the DIRTcar modified finale Friday night at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway. Drellos used some attention-grabbing slide jobs to work his way through the lead pack, finally putting Jack Lehner away with two to go in the 35-lap finale. But once order was restored, Varin jumped out to a comfortable lead over Davey Franek and Poirier and caught the tailenders on lap eight. But finally, on lap 20, Poirier threw a big slider on Varin as they hit turn three and he came off four with the lead. Not to be outdone, Varin waited a lap, then threw a big slider on Poirier to regain the lead in turn one, only to have the Canadian take it right back at the other end.
