June 19th Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, OH) 31 Modifieds. Drew a 71 and started 10th in the second heat race. A surprising heavy race track made it hard for passing but I still managed to climb my way to a fourth place finish. The track didn’t change a whole lot from the heats, the speeds were about the same but the groove had moved up on the race track making for a little more passing. I started 11th in the feature and knew there was no time to wait around. I quickly picked off one car at a time and after sixteen laps I found myself passing for second place. A late red flag with two laps to go bunched the field back together. Eldora leaves laps cars in the spot they were running so I restarted in the fourth position with a lap car in-between first and second. Unfortunately I felt like I had the car to win the race but the lap car did not help the situation. And one more lap wouldn’t have help either because coming out of turn four on final lap my motor had broke and I had to coasted to the finish line. I was able to get by the second place car and the lap car in one turn and just didn’t have enough time to catch the leader. Strong finish though and still maintained the points lead at Eldora.
