Heuerman Hustles At Eldora

ROSSBURG, Ohio — With spring weather wreaking havoc upon the schedules of America’s motorsports industry, Eldora officials stayed the course through heavy thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and it resulted in the largest crowd in history of $8 Family FIREWORKS Night presented by Casey’s General Stores.

Todd Heuerman took the lead from Jared Horstman with three laps remaining to score his first Eldora win in the National Racing Alliance Sprint Invaders feature.

Horstman finished second with Max Stambaugh, Randy Hannagan and Butch Schroeder rounding out the top five.

Jacob Hawkins won his second DIRTcar UMP Modified feature of the season at Eldora by passing Jonathan Taylor with six laps to go.

Eldora veteran Earnie Woodard captured the Stock Car victory when he passed defending champion Gary Rahe, Jr. as the flagman flashed the five-to-go signal.
