Lance Dehm Scores DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals Win at Fairbury Speedway

 

FAIRBURY, Ill. June 22, 2013 Three-time defending track champion Lance Dehm used the middle grove on Saturday night to lead 25 of 30 laps en route to scoring his first victory of the DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals at Fairbury American Legion Speedway.

 

Dehm, of Chatsworth, Ill., started fourth but quickly made his way into the top three after just two laps. Dehm, keeping it one groove off of the bottom, moved past race leader Dave Porth three laps later to capture the lead. Dehm faced constant pressure from Porth, who eventually pulled even with Dehm coming to the white flag. Following a Porth bobble in turn one, Dehm pulled away on the backstretch to secure the $1,200 checkered flag.

 

 

“Dave [Porth] and I raced side-by-side so many times, and I knew it was gonna be one of those things where I knew he would be hugging the bottom, and I’d hate to give him a little bit of room,” Dehm said in victory lane. “Dave is a good, clean driver. He will race you hard and we’ve had a lot of good battles over the years.”

 

 

Jay Ledford, Cody Bauman and Gary Turpin rounded out the top five.

 

Heat race winners included Ledford, Dehm, Mike McKinney and Porth.

 

The DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals continues Sunday night at I-96 Speedway in Lake Odessa, Michigan.
