Date: 10/24/2007

MIRA LOMA, California --Scott Dodd started last week not even knowing if he would be able to compete at this weekends Showdown. Thanks to the help from Jim and Scott from VanGordon & Brown Performance he wasn’t only able to compete, but Dodd was able to put down a qualifying lap that was third fastest out of the 53 cars that entered the event, he qualified behind Rip Michels and Greg Pursley. Dodd started the race in the third position and by lap 22 took the lead and led for the next 65 laps, which turned out to be the most laps led by any competitor by 25 laps. At the 100 lap break Dodd was running second behind Andrew Phipps. After the break Dodd started fifth when the officials spun the wheel for a six car invert. Dodd’s car was loose in the second part of the race as the competitor in front of him was loosing his engine and was laying down oil on the track. Dodd hung on and was able to finish in the fourth position only 1.1 seconds behind winner Greg Pursley who was followed by Rip Michels and Dan Moore. Dodd clocked the third fastest lap of the race just 0.03 seconds behind race winner, Pursley.

The Speed Channel televised race had a purse of $50,000 and had a crowd of 3,000 spectators at the inaugural event for the Super Late Models.

Dodd is a rookie in the Super Late Models, but has had great success with a win in only his third race in a Super Late Model and 5 top fives and 11 top tens. He started his career racing open wheel cars and moved to fendered cars in 2005. Dodd has raced on dirt tracks and road courses as well as many asphalt tracks, which has allowed him to develop great car control.
