Last year, Billy Dunn was racing for the win when he ran out of fuel on the last lap with Brett Hearn winning his 5th win at Syracuse in the 358s. Alain Boisvert finished third last year. Here is a list of 10 drivers that could win the 150-lap race.
Tim McCreadie: Will be part of the favourite to win the race, has got podiums 3 times in the last 4 races finishing 10th, his worst result in 4 years.
Billy Decker: One of the preferred with 6 wins in his pockets, he will want to get better results in the last 2 years with a 24th and 27th.
Brett Hearn: Winner last year, he has 15 top 5s in 28 starts and 17 top 10s.
Tim Fuller: 4th in 2011, 3rd in 2012 and second last season, will 2014 be his year?
Billy Dunn: He was leading the race with 1 lap to complete last year; he will be part of the favourites for years to come.
Erick Rudolph: Leading in the championship, he must have a solid run to keep his chances in the title.
Mat Williamson: He got top 10s in his first four attempts, a 13th last year was his worst finish!
Matt Billings: Ran mostly in Big Blocks this season, never ran worst than 10th in four races, getting his best finish a fifth last year.
Mario Clair: A fourth spot in 2008 was his best result, will need a finish similar to that year to keep his chances to win a second title.
Stewart Friesen: He has 2 wins in the Big One and finished second twice in the 358s, he is part of the elite in the Modifieds.
Special mention to: David Hébert, Rick Laubach, Carey Terrance and Larry Wight. It will be a interesting event with a late start on Saturday afternoon at 3:30pm right after the USAC Silver Crown Salt City 76.
