Good Night at Freeport
After three previous attempts, Mother Nature finally shined at Freeport Raceway Park for the WDRL. Eckrich raced a solid heat race and put himself into the Iowa-Illinois Taylor Insulation Pole Dash where he finished 5th.
At the start, Eckrich slipped back on the narrow racing surface. A late race charge by the Flying 50 put Eckrich back into the top five by ace end. Eckrich finished 5th.
Father's Day Weekend at Cedar Lake For DEM
After getting rained out Thursday night at Superior Speedway, Denny Eckrich Motorsports traveled to Cedar Lake Speedway over Father's Day weekend. It was a two night affair on the World Dirt Racing League trail.
FRIDAY:
It was a bad night for the Flying 50. During the race, Eckrich was placed one lap down during a restart. Officials discovered after the race that the call was a mistake. He was scored official as the last car on the lead lap (14th place).
SATURDAY:
Things look great for DEM. Eckrich was ready to start the A-Main towards the front of the starting grid, but Mother Nature had other ideas. Rain rolled in as the 26-car field was just about to hit the track. The night was washed out. The event will be completed during the WDRL's return trip to Cedar Lake Speedway during the USA Nationals at the end of July.
