ZACK FULCHER AND LUCAS SOWERS CLAIM VICTORIES AT UNITED GARAGE DOOR COMPANY SATURDAY 75K

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.

In the Roadblocks Bracket Racing Junior Dragster final, Lucas Sowers made it back-to-back wins over the same opponent, topping Owen Buckner for the second consecutive day. Both competitors dialed within a tenth of each other — Sowers on a 799, Buckner on an 809 — and both posted near-identical reaction times of .029. Sowers went 8.02 on the 7.99 dial to seal the win. Buckner, described by announcers as cool and businesslike throughout the event, again made an impressive lap but came up short in the final.

Saturday’s event was part of the Laris Motorsports Insurance 75K weekend at Darana Raceway, with Sunday’s Moer Engineering 25K set to follow. First round action is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m., with the live stream going live at 8:45 a.m.
