Mark Dowdy Racing Scores Pair of Top-10 Finishes at Tennessee National Raceway in Limited Late Model Competition
 
WATERLOO, Ala (August 14) - Mark Dowdy Racing was on the scene at Tennessee National Raceway (Hohenwald, TN) this past Saturday August 10th with Mark Dowdy bringing home a 4th place finish and Dustin Stutts with a 6th place finish.
 
MDR had an up and down night Saturday night at Tennessee National Raceway. The night started out in qualifying when Dustin Stutts put the Dowdy Welding & Fabrication, Loretto One Stop, Race Horse Deals, Warrior #102 Late Model on the pole for the nights feature. Mark put the Action track chair, Rather Sewer Inspection, FK Rod Ends, # 88D Killer Chassis in the 7th spot.
 
By the time the feature rolled out the track had slick off pretty bad. The green flag dropped and the field rumbled into turn one. The #93 of Eddie Rinehart got under the #102 of Stutts and turned him around, sending the entire field into a scramble. Fortunately, no cars were damaged and the entire feature was restarted. When the green flew on the restart, so did the #102 of Stutts and jumped to an early lead and the field settled in. The track was dominant on the bottom lane however, drivers were able to attempt passes. At the halfway point the #54 of AJ Ferguson had gained ground on the #102. Stutts then pushed the nose of his car going into turn 1. Ferguson saw an opening and shot for the spot. Both cars came together and a caution flag flew. Stutts was not able to restart and Ferguson was sent off the track. Upon the restart Dowdy had moved into the 4th position. The top 4 cars broke away and ran nose to tail with no major changes. The race took the checkered flag with the #H17 of Steven Holcomb taking the win, followed by TJ Taylor, Donald Johns, Mark Dowdy & Todd Clemmons rounding out the top 5.
 
This coming Saturday August 17th, 2013, you will find the #88D Killer Chassis Super Late Model going back on the road with the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series. The series will make a stop at the super fast Tazwell Speedway in Tazwell Tn. In the first stop on the series at Penton raceway Mark suffered a violent tumbling flip during Hot Laps. The car is back together and ready to take on the high banks of the Tazwell Speedway in Tazwell Tennessee.
