It’s Not Over…Untill…It’s Over
Submitted by Dale Dodge Jr, 2008
What a great run I’ve had racing the Northern Ohio Legends Series this year. I carried the points lead all season untill last weekend. Dispite a no fault crash that totalled my car and motor two weeks ago at Midvale Speedway, while running third in the feature. My grandpa Jack made a trip to Alabama to pick me up a rolling chassis last week, he, my dad and I worked non stop to get it ready for Lorain County Speedway, set in my spare motor, missed the heat race. We made it just in time for the 25 lap feature. I started the race 16th, by the 5th lap, I was running 10th, then a rod went through the side of the block and ended my night. This week has been no different with pulling out the motor again and trying to put together one good motor out of two scrap ones.With only one race left in the Series, tomorrow at Midvale Speedway. I am sitting second in the standings 3 points behind the new leader and four points in front of third. There is a 40-50% chance of rain for the day…so I don’t know if we will even race, or if the motor will perform.I am sure it will all work out just like the good Lord wants it to and pray for the best.This to me is more exciting and close than the Nextel Cup chase! Only 7 points seperate the top three drivers, with one race left, between a Master, Pro and Semi-Pro driver…Now This Is Excitement! I will update everyone when the last checkered is waved!Thanks for all your interest and encouragement. God bless, Dale Dodge Jr.
