MIKEY STURGILL WINS MOER ENGINEERING $25,000 SUNDAY FINALE TO CLOSE INAUGURAL LARIS MOTORSPORTS INSURANCE 75K AT DARANA RACEWAY

HEBRON, OH — Mikey Sturgill of Beaver Creek, Ohio claimed the Moer Engineering $25,000 Sunday feature to close out the inaugural Laris Motorsports Insurance 75K Presented by Vintage Trailers at Darana Raceway in Hebron, Ohio, defeating fellow Beaver Creek native Caleb Ellison in an all-Ohio final round that capped four days of bracket racing action produced by TB Promotions.

Sturgill and Ellison met three times on Sunday, splitting the first two encounters before Sturgill sealed the rubber match in the final round. Running a 5.72 on his 5.73 dial-in, Sturgill took the win light over Ellison’s breakout effort to claim the $25,000 top prize. It was Sturgill’s first final round appearance at an event paying more than $10,000.

“It’s my first final for over 10 grand,” said Sturgill. “I’ve always said I wanted to get my next big check for more than 10 grand, so it’s just awesome to have this opportunity.”

HEBRON, OH – Zack Fulcher and Lucas Sowers emerged as champions Saturday night at the inaugural United Garage Door Company Saturday 75K, part of the Laris Motorsports Insurance 75K presented by Vintage Trailers at Darana Raceway in Hebron, Ohio.

In the featured $75,000 bracket final, Fulcher left first with a .020 advantage over Russell Sparks and never looked back, posting a 486 dial-in run to claim the top prize. Sparks, who had made a strategy adjustment to high-gear-only runs late in the event due to traction issues, dialed 495 in the final but was unable to match Fulcher’s reaction time or reach his number. Fulcher, who campaigns under the EDR Motorsports banner with sponsorship support from Mr. Cool and Cargo Mate, noted the new car had just 17 runs on it entering the day — making the victory all the more remarkable.

In the semifinal round, Fulcher defeated Cliff Carr in an all-dragster matchup where both competitors dialed an identical 488. Sparks received a bye into the final after earning the single earlier in the event.

HEBRON, OH — TB Promotions kicked off its highly anticipated Larice Motorsports Insurance $75,000 presented by Vintage Trailers in dominant fashion Thursday at Durana Raceway Hebrin (formerly National Trail Raceway) in Hebrin, Ohio, drawing an impressive field of 250 entries for the American Race Cars/Regals Fiberglass & Performance Composites Thursday Warm-Up.

When the smoke cleared on opening day, Zack Smith stood in the winner’s circle for the third time at a TB Promotions event, claiming the American Race Cars complete roller dragster — featuring Todd’s Extreme Paint, Moer Engineering rear end, Hoosier tires, Holly carburetor, K&R suspension, Drag Race Solutions components, and wiring/plumbing by Justin “Skirt” Vickers — along with $5,000 runner-up money going to finalist TJ Jordan of Wired Designs fame, who piloted the Taylor Poofall-owned square body S10 pickup to the final round before clicking the tree two-thousandths red.

Smith, driving a dragster he won at a previous TB Promotions event, was measured early — going winless in his first three attempts before finding his rhythm and never looking back. In the final, Smith left on a .009 reaction time and coasted to a 4.67 to secure the win as Jordan’s front wheels came up and the tree went red.
