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. |
