Stewart Friesen emerged victorious in a battle with defending race winner Matt Sheppard to claims his third Fonda 200 victory at Fonda Speedway on Saturday night. 

Friesen took the lead from Sheppard on a late restart and pulled away to claim the $53,000 victory. 

Sheppard finished in the runner-up position, collecting a nice $20,000 check for his efforts. Tyler Dipppel, who only makes a handful of Modified starts each season, completed the podium and earned a $10,000 payday. 

Mat Williamson rebounded from a flat tire early in the race to finish fourth, while Tim Fuller charged from deep in the field to complete the top-five.

"That's pretty darn special right there. 53,000 reasons, baby! It feels so damn good. I'm just so proud of our whole race team. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless. The Fonda 200 is one of the most historical races in the Northeast and it's my home track. To keep this one at home for all of these great Fonda fans and my family and friends, it means the world."
