TAXI DRIVER CARILLIO UNSTOPPABLE POST FALLS, Idaho – In a near repeat of last week’s performance Darryl Carillio kept on rolling after being involved in a six car pileup to go on and claim the 20-lap main event for the Bump to Pass cars during Wednesday Night Fever at Stateline Speedway.

Carillio, driver of the “Crazy Taxi, set fast time for the eighth time this season to finish in the top spot for the third straight week. With increased competition from the “Rhino Car” and “Mullet Warrior” driver Will Whitlow, Carillio bounced thru the field to hold off James Cotter, John Hollingsworth and Yvonne Lifsey for the victory.

Lifsey and Noah Hamlin won dashes. Whitlow and Vern Dorsey won in the heat races.

Andy Brown co-driving for teammate Thomas Plybon quietly worked his way up to the front in the Fever 4 30-lap main event to take the close win over race leader John Vallone.

Brown challenged by Vallone, the A heat winner, battled side by side in the last five laps with Brown edging Vallone at the finish line. The win was Brown’s second of the season in the division.

Vallone finished a close second after getting loose heading towards the finish line. Andrew McKee took third followed by Terry Auckerman and Mathew Schoen.

Colton Garber and Stephen Plesek captured the trophy dash checkers. Matt Schoen won the B heat.
