Below are the rankings after last weekend’s 24th Annual Dream. Scott Bloomquist once again won the Dream for the 8th time and also is the first back to back winner of the event. Scott took home the $100,000 first place prize but of course with Scott is always controversy. He failed to take the drug test on Friday, he slipped in the mud injured his shoulder went to the emergency room and was given some pain killers. He did not race Friday night at all so he would start tail of one of the heats. He would rally in the heat to take third and make the race. He started 15th in the feature and made it look easy going to the front, once he took the lead from Jonathan Davenport he was never challenged. He is the GOAT!
Jonathan Davenport had a very solid Dream, he won a preliminary and finished second in the other prelim. He led the feature and finished 3rd in the big race. Dale McDowell is having a great year and was solid the entire weekend and took the runner-up spot in the Dream.
Chris Madden as always at Eldora is fast but this year he won his first Eldora feature Friday night. The Barry Wright team was running near the front on Saturday night and suffered a flat tire, made the change went to the rear and finished 5th in the Dream.
Bobby Pierce finished 5th in the Dream, and is sitting 6th in the Rankings right on Brandon Sheppard’s
Tail. Sheppard did not have a good Eldora Weekend and missed even making the main event.
