| CVD Eighth In Grandview Traffic Jam |
 |
BECHTELSVILLE, PA - Overcoming adversity, Craig Von Dohren broke free from Wednesday night's 100-lap Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series 'Traffic Jam' event at Grandview Speedway with a respectable eighth-place finish.
The night didn't start out well for CVD, blowing a hole in an oil line during hot laps. Running time trials and a heat race with the car's powerplant not running at full song, Von Dohren timed a dismal 33rd fastest and squeaked out a fifth-place heat race.
"It was breaking up and missing," he said. "We got behind the eight-ball."
Rolling off the grid 17th, CVD raced to a respectable eighth-place finish despite damage on the Millville Glass No. 1c.
"I got together with (Ryan) Godown," explained Von Dohren. "It bent the (right-side) rear tube. That's about the time we stopped going forward.
"We were fairly decent until then."
Von Dohren's run was worth $1,300 - $1,000 in purse money and a $300 bonus from Chad Sinon's BPG Racing.
The next big-block start for CVD is Bridgeport (N.J.) Speedway's MS Race For A Cure on Wed., July 23. |
