LINCOLN, Ill. – The DIRTcar Hornets took center stage on Friday at Lincoln Speedway for the annual running of the Ed Cain Trucking Hornet Challenge, which was one by Eric Vanapeldoorn.
After winning his heat race, Vanapeldoorn claimed the six car dash before intermission. That put him on the pole of the 25-lap feature and the orange No. 77 continued to be too tough to tame for the competition.
The veteran driver raced out front early and never looked back to claim the win. Â Jake Momper finished second, followed by Jeremy Reed, Kenny Butterfield and David Lauritson.
In other action, Ray Bollinger took the win in the DIRTcar Modifieds, Jake Little was triumphant in the DIRTcar Pro Late Models, Andy Baugh collected the trophy in the Nutech Seed DII Midget class and Tim Hancock Sr. took top honors in the DIRTcar Pro Mods.
