SYRACUSE — Tim Fuller will try to duplicate his 2004 victory on Sunday when he starts from the pole position in the Rite Aid 200 at the New York State Fairgrounds. The Edwards native won the pole Thursday during time trials for the big-block modifieds.

Fuller was clocked in 30.160 seconds (119.363 mph). Matt Sheppard (30.461, 118.184) will also be in the front row with Fuller. The top three rows are locked in for Sunday's race. Five-time Rite Aid champion Brett Hearn (30.485, 118.091) finished third. Jimmy Phelps (30.547, 117.851), Mitch Gibbs (30.688, 117.386) and Keith Flach (30.730, 117.126)) finished in the top six.

Watertown drivers Frankie Caprara and Billy Dunn finished 12th and 18th, respectively, in the time trials. They, along with the other drivers who didn't make the top six, will compete in today's Triple 30's races.

Vic Coffey (32.000, 112.500) had the fastest time for Saturday's 358-modified championship race. Coffey won last year's Rite Aid 200. Fuller was ninth in the time trials for small blocks. Mario Clair, Billy Decker, Larry Lampman Jr., Andy Bachetti and Hearn finished in the top six and qualified for Saturday's race. All small-block drivers will compete in today's Triple 20s for berths in Saturday's race.

■ Can-Am Motorsports Park in LaFargeville has rescheduled its Super DIRT Week 358-modified feature and sportsman race for Oct. 25. The Wednesday night race program was rained out.
