Dillon Sallows Has Good Weekend With Third Place Finish at Mohawk Raceway and Seventh at Cornwall Speedway

After struggling the previous week, Dillon Sallows returned to the track this past weekend looking for much better results.  The usual weekend routine was in store with events at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night and Cornwall Speedway on Sunday.

At Mohawk Raceway, Sallows struggled to a sixth place finish in his qualifier, but after making some adjustments to the car, he was ready for battle in the 20 lap main event.  Starting from seventh, Sallows quickly moved into the top five, and with the first caution at lap four, he was up to fourth place.  Sallows continued to run inside the top five, and in the closing laps, he moved up to finish with a strong third place run.

“We struggled in the heat race, but were able to get the car going better in the feature”, says Sallows.  “We needed just a couple more adjustments and we might have been able to finish even higher”.

Cornwall Speedway was up next with their regular Sunday night show.  Sallows won his qualifying heat race, and was hoping for another good run in the 20 lap feature. He started the race from inside the second row in third place and stood his ground through the opening laps.  After getting caught up on the outside, Dillon lost some ground to the leaders, falling back to eighth place, but he battled back to end the night with a seventh place result.

“It wasn’t the run we wanted, but it wasn’t too bad.  I got caught on the outside and couldn’t get back in line, and we lost some ground, but we just kept digging, and made it up to seventh”, says Sallows.  “I really have to thank the crew, and all of our sponsors for their support”.

This coming week, Sallows will be back at Mohawk International Raceway for round 2 of the Frenchie’s “Drive One” Sportsman Series.  The Sportsman have the night off at Cornwall Speedway and will return the following Sunday for a 50 lap Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series race.
