Drake Troutman
Troutman 12th in Super Bowl of Racing opener at Golden Isles
Eyeing his first year on tour with a national series, Drake Troutman was one of 51 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) entries packed in the pit area at Golden Isles Speedway (Brunswick, Ga.) on Thursday for the General Tire Super Bowl of Racing opener.
Backing up a solid qualifying effort with a transfer spot in his heat, Drake timed in eighth-fastest in his 25-car group before placing third in his eight-lap heat race. Moving forward four spots in the 40-lap feature, Troutman muscled to a 12th-place finish.
With Friday’s program falling to Mother Nature, Troutman followed up a fourth-place finish in his heat on Saturday evening with a fourth-place outing in his consolation race, forcing him to use a provisional into the $25,000-to-win Super Bowl of Racing finale. Pinned on the 13th row, Drake was an early retiree from the 60-lapper on lap 18 with a flat right-rear tire.
