MIRA LOMA, California -- Scott Dodd had another second place finish this weekend in his #9 ASA Speed Truck at the inaugural event at the Havasu Speedway. Dodd started the race in the 6th position. Young, the current point’s leader, ended up starting on the outside front row. Dodd was able to move into third by the second lap and into second place behind Young by lap 9. Dodd challenged Young for the lead many times during the race, but was not able to complete the pass. “I think I had a faster truck than Young, but I was waiting for the right opportunity and it just never happened” said Dodd. Dodd and Young quickly pulled away from the rest of the trucks and had a substantial lead. Dodd followed Young through lapped traffic and the two trucks had quite a lead before a yellow came out. On the restarts the two trucks continued to pull away from the pack. With about eight laps left there was a red flag for an incident, after the red flag they went to a yellow flag for a few laps and restarted the race with a green, white, checkered finish. The 100 lap race finished with Dodd right on the tail of the race winner Young.

The top three in points, including Dodd are the only drivers mathematical able to compete for the championship title at the last event at Lucas Oil I-10 Speedway in Blythe. On Dodd’s last trip to I-10 he came home with a third place finish and placed 7th in points even after missing a race in the 2005 season.

Dodd would like to thanks his sponsors for their continued support Lucas Oil, Luke’s Transmissions, So. Cal. Pipe Trades, K & N Filters, Air Gas Supply, Luke’s Auto Body and Stuck Up Designs. For more information go to www.scottdodd.com or call 951-685-4223.
