Hawkins Wins In
Eldora DIRTcar Fall Nationals
Controversial Contact Leaves Stickler Angry and In the Mud
ROSSBURG, Ohio (October 4, 2015) – Jacob Hawkins drove his car beneath
Kyle Stickler’s machine battling for the lead and the $5,000 payday in
Sunday’s rain-delayed DIRTcar Fall Nationals by Allstar Performance at
Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.
Coming off turn four with 11 laps to go Hawkins car bumped Strickler’s
machine which caused Strickler to spin out on the mainstretch and be
done for the afternoon. Hawkins, from Fairmont, West Virginia, led the
rest of the way to win, while Strickler, from Mooresville, North
Carolina, voiced his displeasure with Hawkins on track and afterward.
“We had our hands full,” said Hawkins. “The car was great. We ran Kyle
(Stickler) down there from a long ways and everyone got stacked up
there on the cushion. He went to turn down there and I was there. It’s
one of those racing deals. It feels good to get the win here at Eldora.”
Stickler finished a disappointing 25th.
Former NASCAR driver David Stremme was second, while Nick Stroupe, Nick
Hoffman and Travis Stemler rounded out the top-five.
Stemler, from Ionia, Michigan, won the UMP Modified Eldora points
championship.
“This is just amazing,” Stemler said. “Not only to win a feature and a
heat race, but now the championship. Jerry (Bowersock) gave me a heck
of fight. The people that run Modifieds around here weekly are pretty
awesome to be around.”
In the UMP Late Model A-Feature, Bobby Pierce started fourth, but
quickly took the lead from Eddie Carrier Jr., eight laps in and never
looked back en route to victory in the 40-lap race. Pierce, from
Oakwood, Illinois, beat Carrier, from Salt Rock, West Virginia, by 2.3
seconds.
“It’s awesome,” Pierce said. “I’m out of breath. I loved the track. It
was fast and rough. I rode the cushion a little bit. It was tricky, but
we got the win.”
Pierce finished second in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race in
July and second in the 45th World 100 in September.
Eldora favorite Jeep VanWormer was second on lap 15, but hit the turn
two wall and was done for the day.
Devin Moran was second, while Carrier Jr., was third. Josh Rice and Jon
Henry rounded out the top-five.
Matt Westfall, from Pleasant Hill, Ohio finished ninth, but captured
the Eldora Late Model title. He won the Eldora Modified title in 2014.
“It’s pretty cool to win it,” Westfall said. “Especially after winning
the Modified deal last year. It’s nice to be able to come out this year
and win this.”
Next Saturday, the final race of the 2015 schedule takes place at
Eldora. The UNOH Sprintacular will feature the winged All Star Circuit
of Champions Sprint Cars, non-winged BOSS (Buckeye Outlaw Sprint
Series) and the winged NRA (National Racing Alliance) Sprint Invaders.
