Troutman visits Charlotte for World Short Track Championship

Drake Troutman made the trek to the Dirt Track at Charlotte (Concord, N.C.) on Friday night to compete in the DIRTcar Modified ranks for the Drydene World Short Track Championship. In a field of 35 cars, Troutman laid down the fifth fastest time in his qualifying group before placing fourth in his heat race. (Michael Boggs Photography)

Starting Saturday night’s $4,000-to-win World Short Track Championship in 12th, Drake was an early retiree from the 30-lapper on lap 22 after his right-rear tire began losing traction. He jumped out to an early race lead in the invitational feature before a broken transmission brought an immediate end to his weekend.
