The good times keep on rolling for Ronnie Williams.
Williams, who got his first SK Modified win at Thompson last Sunday, got his Memorial Day weekend started off the right way, winning the 40-lap SK Modified feature on Dunleavy’s Modifiedz Night at Stafford.
Andrew Molleur led the opening seven laps, at which point Williams took the lead. It was a lead he would not surrender the rest of the way.
“We just had a strong car,” Williams said. “Got up to the front pretty early… I think we gapped [the field] pretty well, so happy there was no cautions.”
Second was Joseph Cipriano, followed by Nick Salva, Eric Berndt, and Michael Gervais.
Rounding out the top-10 were Keith Rocco, Glen Reen, Todd Owen, Stephen Kopcik, and Mike Christopher Jr.
The race was relatively calm when compared to other SK Modified features at Stafford this season. The only caution flag all race came right after Williams passed Molleur, when Ed Spiers spun in turn one.
“I was beyond shocked there was no cautions, because it always seems to happen when I’m in the lead,” Williams said.
The run of success Williams has had certainly isn’t lost on him.
“To get this rolling and get the win at Thompson, to get the win here, and do it in dominance, it’s a good feeling,” he said. “Our peak… is end-of-June, all July, and August… We’re getting to that peak a little bit early. We’ve just gotta keep up with the track.”
Williams will attempt to pull off the modified sweep, as he is competing in the Open Modified 80 later tonight.
