Pardo Sweeps
Eldora Stocks Double Feature
Large Crowd Enjoys Largest Fireworks Show in Eldora History on
Beautiful Summer Evening
ROSSBURG, Ohio (August 15, 2015) – Paul Pardo swept the Eldora Stocks
double feature, while Jonathan Taylor fought his way from starting 14th
to win the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds feature.
Pardo, from New Paris, Ohio, started fourth in the first Eldora stock
feature, but took the lead early and never looked back. Rob Trent was
second, while Frank Paladino, Donnie Jeschke and Red Harvey Jr.,
rounded out the top-five.
The second feature was a far harder task for Pardo, however, as he
started 14th, thanks to an inversion of the lead lap cars from the
first A-Feature. Brandon Archey, from Versailles, Ohio, led early
before being chased down by Chris Douglas from Lima, Ohio. Douglas
paced the field until a caution flag on the ninth lap. Pardo got by him
on the ensuing restart leading the final six laps to claim his second
victory of the night.
“It’s pretty impressive, especially coming from 14th in the second
race,” Pardo said. “I knew on that last restart that if the car stayed
under me we had it. The first race was pretty simple, but the second
one we had to work for it. Great night for the team.”
Chris Douglas, who started ninth, was second, while Rob Trent, who
started 13th was third. Barney Craig and Frank Paladino rounded out the
top-five.
Taylor started 14th in the Modifieds, but quickly worked his way to the
front and had a fierce battle with Scott Williams and Shawn Valenti.
Williams lead early, but hit the outside wall in turn three and saw his
chance at victory go away. He finished 10th.
Ed Roley who started ninth was second, while Valenti, Jason Kinney and
Curt Spalding rounded out the top-five.
“It’s amazing,” said Taylor, who comes from Saltsburg, Pennsylvania.
“The track was amazing. Loved it. Tony Stewart and everybody that works
on this track – they are amazing. Thanks to all these fans that come
out as well. We couldn’t race without you.”
The race started with a 10 car accident on lap 1 in the first turn
which saw Brandon Vaughan’s car flip over. There were no injuries.
The night ended with the largest fireworks show in Eldora history,
which received an enthusiastic ovation from the large crowd on hand.
The racing continues at Eldora tomorrow, but at the 1/7th-mile “Little
E,” with the Salute the Kings Royal Go-Kart race. The drivers meeting
starts at 11:15 am (EDT) with racing starting at 12:30 pm. General
