(YORK, PENNSYLVANIA) Rick Eckert, of York, Pennsylvania, reached victory lane for the first time in 2013 on Saturday night, May 18 at the Winchester Speedway in Winchester, Virginia! Aboard Paul Crowl’s #7 entry, Rick won his heat race in preliminary action to earn the pole position for the unsanctioned feature event. Rick then led all thirty circuits of the A-Main on his way to the dominating $2,000 win over Dale Hollidge, Tommy Armel, Roy Deese, Jr., and Keith Jackson.

The popular driver known as “Scrub” will be back behind the wheel of his familiar #24 over the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend, as he is set to tackle a trio of World of Outlaws Late Model Series showdowns in the states of Ohio and West Virginia. The ‘Buckeye 50’ will kick things off on Friday, May 24 at the Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Ohio. A $10,000 top prize will be on the line in a 50-lapper at WCS.
On Saturday and Sunday, May 25-26, the dirt-slinging action will shift to the Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, West Virginia for the ‘Jackpot 100.’ This year’s version of the race will feature two complete shows. A
$6,000 winner’s share is up for grabs in a 30-lap affair on Saturday, while Sunday’s 70-lap finale will pay a hefty $15,000 to the winner.
