Back to back nights of Super Dirt Series action saw some great racing both nights. On Tuesday, Craig Von Dohren put on a clinic coming from 23rd to win with his small block modified. On Wednesday, Jimmy Phelps survived a crazy night at Orange County to win Brett Hearn's Big Show 2. A scary accident took place around the half way mark of the Big Show, as contact between Jerry Higbie and Danny Johnson on a restart while battling for second sent Higbie hard into the wall, and left him sitting sideways as the field broadsided him multiple times. Mark Flach took a scary flip down the front stretch, Tim Fuller, Chris Shultz, Rick Laubach, Paul Gilardi, and Tommy Sears were just some of the cars heavily involved. Thankfully, everyone was okay. Here's the top 5 from both nights.
Grandview Speedway (Super Dirt Series)
1st 1c Craig Von Dohren
2nd 4 Duane Howard
3rd 77x Dale Planck
4th 98H Jimmy Phelps
5th 91 Billy Decker
Orange County Fair Speedway (Super Dirt Series)
1st 98H Jimmy Phelps
2nd 91 Billy Decker
3rd 1 Stewart Friesen
4th 10 Danny Johnson
5th 4 Michael Storms
Danny Johnson was in the Sherlock Motorosports owned #10 modified last night. Johnson drives for the team every Friday night at Accord Speedway. Look for Johnson to run the Dirt Series races at some of the bigger motor tracks like at Lebanon Valley Speedway and at Super Dirt Week. Johnson will still drive the Mike Payne 27J at a majority of the tour races.
Sportsman star Brad Brightbill will make his first big block start of the year this Saturday as he'll run his dad's #19 big block modified at Delaware International Speedway.
Gary Tomkins, who was in the Tuit Racing 673 on Wednesday night at Orange County Fair Speedway, will officially drive the Ken Brewer Racing 00B the rest of the year. Tomkins will run the car at Five Mile Point on Saturday nights, but it might not be every week. He'll also run the rest of the RoC Tour for the team. Jim Gabriel will continue to drive the team's second car.
