DIRTcar UMP Modifieds Also Slated For Early 6 p.m. Start Time – Kids 12 & Under FREE

ROSSBURG, Ohio (April 23, 2015) – They’ve seen the track, the new surface and raced in front of a stout opening night crowd. Now round two starts Saturday night for the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds and the Eldora Stock cars at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.

The Eldora stock cars will take part in an exciting double feature.

Admission gates will open on at 4 p.m. (EDT), on Saturday April 23, with hot laps at 5 p.m. and a complete racing program beginning at 6 p.m.

The Eldora Stock cars return after last week’s season opener won by Rob Trent of Lima, Ohio. Trent will try to score another two wins this Saturday, but it will be a challenge.

There are two feature races Saturday with the results of the first race inverted for the start of the second. This means that the faster cars will be starting in the back of the pack which should produce some hectic racing as they look to move toward the front of the field.

This was evident in last week’s race as the cars went three and even four wide on the new clay surface.

Trent leads the point standings after one race, but Brandon Archey and defending champion Frank Paladino are right behind him.

The DIRTcar UMP Modifieds will have a new winner as Kyle Strickler returned to North Carolina after last Saturday’s win.

Expect Eldora’s local stalwarts to be led by veterans like Jerry Bowersock of Piqua and Fort Recovery’s Ryan Sutter as they battle Pennsylvania points chasers Evan and Jonathan Taylor for the right to drive atop Victory Stage.
