Planck Wins Wild One at Drummond

Dale Planck was in the right place at the right time as the Super DIRTcar Series invaded Autodrome Drummond on a full-moon night. Steve Bernard, Justin Haers, and Danny Johnson all ran into mechanical problems while leading, eventually giving Dale Planck right at the half-way point of the "Budweiser 100." From there, Planck had to hold off a hard-charging Billy Dunn to pick up his first Super DIRTcar Series win of the season. Here's how the top-5 shook out...

Autodrome Drummond (Super DIRTcar Series)
1st 7z Dale Planck
2nd 49 Billy Dunn
3rd 1H David Hebert
4th 39A Alan Therrien
5th 20 Brett Hearn

The win was the 5th on the season for Planck. The win was also his 7th career Super DIRTcar Series win (second at Drummond), which tie him with Billy Pauch and Jeff Heotzler for 17th on the all-time win list.

Matt Sheppard, who led the standings going into Drummond, dropped out of the race early and unofficially came home in 26th. Brett Hearn has taken over the points lead with his 5th-place finish.

A field of 39 modifieds filled the Drummond pit area. The Super DIRTcar Series is in action tomorrow night (Tuesday) at Autodrome Granby.
