Controversial Contact Leaves Stickler Angry and In the Mud; Pierce Writes Another Eldora Headline

ROSSBURG, Ohio (October 4, 2015) – Jacob Hawkins drove his car beneath Kyle Stickler’s machine battling for the lead and the $5,000 payday in Sunday’s rain-delayed DIRTcar Fall Nationals by Allstar Performance at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.

Coming off turn four with 11 laps to go Hawkins car bumped Strickler’s machine which caused Strickler to spin out on the mainstretch and be done for the afternoon. Hawkins, from Fairmont, West Virginia, led the rest of the way to win, while Strickler, from Mooresville, North Carolina, voiced his displeasure with Hawkins on track and afterward.

“We had our hands full,” said Hawkins. “The car was great. We ran Kyle (Stickler) down there from a long ways and everyone got stacked up there on the cushion. He went to turn down there and I was there. It’s one of those racing deals. It feels good to get the win here at Eldora.”

Stickler finished a disappointing 25th.

Former NASCAR driver David Stremme was second, while Nick Stroupe, Nick Hoffman and Travis Stemler rounded out the top-five.

Stemler, from Ionia, Michigan, won the UMP Modified Eldora points championship.

“This is just amazing,” Stemler said. “Not only to win a feature and a heat race, but now the championship. Jerry (Bowersock) gave me a heck of fight. The people that run Modifieds around here weekly are pretty awesome to be around.”
