Eckert
Earns Another Podium Finish at Port Royal Speedway Things went much smoother for the #0 team on Saturday evening at Port Royal, as a $4,000 paycheck was up for grabs. Rick advanced one spot to finish third in his heat race and later rolled off from the outside of the third row in the weekly main event. "Scrub" was then able to drive past a trio of competitors during the 25-lapper en route to a strong third place podium effort behind only race winner Michael Norris and runner-up Mason Zeigler!

into Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio from May 25-27 for the three-day
'Battle at the Border,' which was sanctioned by the World of Outlaws
CASE Construction Late Model Series. In the pair of $6,000 to win
preliminary events, Rick Eckert ran fourth in his heat race each
night before finishing eighteenth in Thursday's 25-lap feature and
seventeenth in Friday's 25-lap main event. With a whopping $25,000
top prize up for grabs in the grand finale on Saturday evening,
Rick placed fifth in his heat race, second in his B-Main, and fifteenth
in the 60-lap headliner. Complete results from the 'Battle at the

came up just shy of transferring into the $10,000 to win headliner

and one-lane from the drop of the green flag in the headliner, "Scrub"
was able to salvage a fifth place effort behind only race winner
Coleby Frye, Austin Berry, Dylan Yoder, and Brett Schadel. Complete
