Scott Dodd, in his #9 Chevy Speed Truck heads to Blythe for the final race in the Speed Truck Series. Dodd, who is currently tied for second with former Champion Lee Hatch, is 42 points behind the point’s leader, Darren Young. Dodd, Young, and Hatch are the only three competitors still mathematically in the running for the ASA Speed Truck championship.
This is a great accomplishment for the Dodd Racing Team.
After missing an event at Orange Show Speedway last year Dodd still finished 7th in the points series. Before missing the race Dodd was third in the point’s standings. This year Dodd has had 5 second place finishes, 7 top fives and 9 top tens and no DNF’s. Dodd has also had 1 fast time and 2 trophy dash wins. The team has made big improvements this year, as shown by the results. Staying out of trouble, Keeping the fenders and tires on, finishing every race and getting as far to the front as the track and truck will allow was our goal for the year, and it has helped to keep Scott in the top three all year against some very formidable competitors.
Even though this is the last race in the truck Dodd still has more racing before his race season ends. He will be competing in the Open Comp race at Imperial Valley Speedway on Thanksgiving weekend in a dirt Super Stock which is owned by Luke Dodd.
This will probably be Dodd’s last race in the Speed Trucks and he will be sad to leave such a great series. “I have met so many neat people in this series and being able to race all over the southwest has been a great experience” said Dodd. The first year in the series we didn’t really know anyone but over the past two years we have grown so close to the other teams and officials; we are really going to miss all the friends we have made throughout the last three years in the series.
