It hasn’t been the start of
the season that Dillon Sallows had been hoping for. Some bad luck at Mohawk Raceway has been discouraging and they
have been struggling to find their groove after the first month of the 2012
season at Mohawk Raceway. The team has
also been racing at Cornwall weekly, and they have felt much better about their
performance at Sallows favorite track.
The night started off well
for Sallows on Friday night at Mohawk Raceway.
He turned some very competitive laps in the opening practice
session. In their qualifying heat
though, Sallows got caught up behind a slower car while battling for position,
and knocked off the right front shock tower.
After working hard to get back out for the feature, the car just did not
handle the way it should have, and he would come out with a disappointing 11th
place finish.
On Sunday night at Cornwall,
Sallows had a much better night. He was
fourth fastest in opening practice, and finished his qualifying heat race in
fourth. He would start the 20 lap main
event from 15th place, and battled his way forward. At the checkered flag, Sallows had finished
with a very respectable sixth place run.
“It was a great night for
us. The car worked much better then it
had at Mohawk”, says Sallows. “I really
have to thank my sponsors, my parents, and the pit crew for all their help this
year”.

are available with DKD Racing. The team
