Hermitage, Missouri (03/29/10) – In more ways than one, it was an up and down weekend for Eric Turner in California, but by the time that the final checkered flag waved on the weekend he was the Silver Cup Champion!
Eric entered the first night of the Silver Cup for Open Wheel Modifieds at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California on Friday night, March 26th behind the wheel of Duane Cleveland’s Open Wheel Modified. The night got off to a good start as Turner won his heat race by over half a track to earn the pole position for the feature event. Eric led the first ten laps of the feature before slipping to second on a restart. He would chase the leader for the next five laps before attempting to pass him in lapped traffic, which is when disaster struck. As Turner headed to the cushion, one of the lapped cars moved up the track and sent Eric flipping off the track, bringing his night to a disappointing, early end.
After the wild wreck on Friday night, the team thrashed all day on Saturday to get ready for the finale of the Silver Cup. Amazingly they were able to get the Duane Cleveland owned, Open Wheel Modified ready for action. It would pay big dividends as Eric won the fourth heat race to earn the fourth starting position for the feature event over the field of 31 entries. Turner would race his way to the lead early in the event and never looked back en route to his first Open Wheel Modified win of the 2010 season!
This Saturday, April 3rd Turner will return to the cockpit of the #99t Rushin Towing/Swafford’s Amoco/GRT/Hatfield Racing Engine Super Late Model as he travels to I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska for an M.L.R.A. Super Late Model event. For more information, please visit www.MLRARacing.com .
