Dillon Sallows Gets Rained Out at Mohawk International Raceway for the Second Week in a Row; Sixth Place Finish at Cornwall Speedway


For the second week in a row, Dillon Sallows and his team made the trip to Mohawk International Raceway, only to get rained out.  This time however, after getting to the track, they were hit by a major storm that left plenty of rain, and even large hail at the track.  When the storm passed, the sun came out, and the decided to continue on, and nearly two hours later, the track was almost in racing conditions before the rain returned, forcing track officials to cancel.

Sunday was a much better day, and Sallows got the evening off to a great start with a convincing win in his qualifying heat race.  In the 20 lap main event, he started from eighth place and quickly moved forward, moving to third before the first yellow at lap three. Sallows maintained a top five position through most of the event, and fell to sixth in the closing laps.

“The car just got way to tight towards the end of the race”, commented Sallows.  It was a good run for us, and hopefully next week we can be just a little bit better.  I really have to thank my Dad, and the guys that help on the car, my sponsors, and everyone that helps us out each week”.

This coming weekend, Sallows will be back at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and Cornwall Motor Speedway on Sunday.
