When Erick Rudolph won the 2008 DIRTcar Sportsman event at the New York State Fairgrounds in October during the 37th annual Super DIRT Week, it answered a lot of questions of the 16 year of racing star.


Personally speaking, I couldn't believe it if there was any disbelievers at all. I already knew he was for real.That might constitute a slap in the face of the asphalt modified community. It's not meant to be. When he set wheels onto the one mile New York State Fairgrounds, he had already captured the Dunn Tire Raceway (formerly Lancaster Raceway) SST Modified and Modified title.

He had also has several impressive NASCAR Whelen Modified Series finishes, including a seventh place finish at New Hampshire Int'l Speedway in September. Going into Syracuse, he already has 16 feature victories, most of them on the pavement.

Erick Rudolph scored the win at Syracuse in his first attempt in a sportsman. Now Rudolph makes the move to 358, calling Ransomville home. Photo Courtesy - GT Smith Read More....
