Race Recap

Pierce Rules Tri-City, Bags First $10,000 Check of 38th Hell Tour

In his return to the DIRTcar Summer Nationals roster, Bobby Pierce reminded the packed Tri-City Speedway crowd he hadn’t forgotten how to win with the series he’s ruled over for the past two years.

Pierce, the five-time Hell Tour champion from Oakwood, IL, bagged the first $10,000 check of the 38th Summer Nationals season Friday night, passing fellow Illinoisan Frank Heckenast Jr. for the lead before the halfway point and driving off to his 48th career tour victory.

2023 is the first in several years Pierce has missed the start of a Summer Nationals season, electing to join the national ranks of the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Model Series for the first time in his career. With his schedule booked for the remainder of the year, Pierce decided on a pick-and-choose slate of Summer Nationals races, including Tri-City, and made a grand first entrance with the win Friday night.
