EPJ finishes 13th in Dream prelim at Eldora

Behind the wheel of the Black Diamond Race Cars No. 1 Late Model, Earl Pearson Jr. invaded Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) on Wednesday afternoon to kick off four nights of racing with the 27th annual Dirt Late Model Dream. With the 74-car field split into two separate groups for a pair of preliminary features, Earl edged his way into the $10,000-to-win A-Main with a fourth-place finish in his heat. Rolling off 18th, Pearson Jr. passed five cars in the 25-lap affair to place 13th. (Josh James Artwork)

With preliminary results on Wednesday setting the grid for heat races on Thursday evening, Pearson Jr. came one spot short of a transfer position in his heat with a fourth-place finish, transferring him into the B-Main. Needing to place third or better to make the $127,000-to-win Dirt Late Model Dream, Earl logged a sixth-place outing. He earned a spot into one of two scrambles where the race winner earned a spot into the show but fell short with a second-place finish.

For another round of preliminary features on Friday, Earl recorded a sixth-place finish in his heat race, sending him into the consolation event. Locking in the Top 4, Pearson Jr. fell one spot short with a fifth-place finish.

Following a sixth-place finish in his heat race on Saturday afternoon, Pearson Jr. secured his spot into the $126,000-to-win Dirt Late Model Dream with a second-place finish in his B-Main behind Mike Marlar. Starting in 23rd, Earl was an early retiree from the 100-lapper on lap 66.
