Eric Turner Gets Top 10 in Purkey Memorial; Cotton Pickin’ 100 Next

Hermitage, Missouri (10/27/10) – Fresh off a top ten run in the Bud Purkey Memorial in the #33x Pannell Motorsports/Rocket Chassis, Eric Turner is preparing to enter the 7th Annual Southern Belle Cotton Pickin’ 100.

Pannell Motorsports with Eric behind the wheel entered the Lucas Oil MLRA Super Late Model Series 2010 finale at Mid America Speedway (South Coffeyville, Oklahoma) over the course of last weekend. Twenty-eight cars entered the $6,000 to win, Bud Purkey Memorial, and after finishing fourth in his heat race on Friday night, he locked into the final for Saturday night. However, a power outage on Saturday would force the program to be delayed to Sunday afternoon. In the feature, after starting 15th Eric would race his way into the top ten early in the event before ultimately flashing across the finish line in the 9th position. Full results are available at www.MLRARacing.com .

This weekend, October 28th-30th Eric will travel to Magnolia Motor Speedway (Columbus, Mississippi) for the 7th Annual Southern Belle Cotton Pickin’ 100. The event is headlined by a $15,000 to win/$1,000 to start, 100 lap event. On Thursday the team will participate in an Open Practice Session. On Friday night group qualifying and heat race action will be held, and the weekend will conclude on Saturday with b-mains and a 100 lap feature.
