**Wade Fields steals the opener despite Tommy Brandon's dominance** Tommy Brandon looked untouchable for stretches, leading ten laps and controlling the middle of the feature. But Wade Fields had other plans — he picked his moment perfectly on the dirt, made the decisive move, and never looked back to take Round 1 at Weedsport. The real fireworks came from Jon Piette, who started seventeenth and absolutely demolished the field to finish sixth. That's the kind of performance that echoes through a season. Craig Silby and Tommy Brandon came through in the heats, setting themselves up perfectly for feature positioning. Michael Burthay dominated the consolation to punch his ticket through.
