FULTON, NY – Zach Sobotka from Parish, NY has been a track champion, won big dollar races, but one race was missing out of his trophy case he so wanted, and that was a Sportsman victory during the prestigious Outlaw 200 weekend.
All that changed Saturday night as Sobotka would lead every lap in the $2,500-to-win Industrial Tire of CNY DIRTcar Sportsman Series Shootout 50. The win wasn’t easy as he had to hold off heavy challenges from another local racer, Ryan Dolbear.
Zach Sobotka would jump from his front row starting spot to take early command of the 50-lap feature.
When the scoring tower showed lap five, Sobotka still led as he was now getting heavy pressure from Cedric Gauvreau with David Rogers, Quinn Wallis, and Ryan Dolbear racing hard behind the top-two.
The yellow would wave on lap thirteen when Gauvreau suddenly slowed and would drop through the field causing other cars to stack-up in the back of the field.
With fifteen laps showing on the lap counter, Sobotka and Dolbear were racing side by side for the lead with Rogers, Tyler Corcoran, and Wallis staying within striking distance of the lead battle.
Sobotka still showed the way out front at the halfway point with about a ten-car length lead over Dolbear. Rogers, Corcoran, and now Emmett Waldron ran in third through fifth.
The second half of the race went caution-free and would produce a fantastic bumper to bumper and side by side race for the win between Sobotka and Dolbeaer, leaving the winnrer in doubt until the checkers.
Zach Sobotka would win by 0.159 of a second over Ryan Dolbear at the finish. David Rogers, Tyler Corcoran and Brandon Carvey completed the top-five.
