Mike Mataragas Bags Podium Finish in Summernationals Go at Route 66
FALS Invasion Scheduled for this Saturday

DeKalb, Illinois (06/20/18) – In just his third start of the 2018 season Mike Mataragas piloted his Mike Kors Motorsports #1 Southlake Auto Mall/ Rocket Chassis/ Pro Power Racing Engine Super Late Model to a podium finish at The Dirt Oval at Route 66 on Saturday night.

“Business has been so good this year that’s it kept me from racing as much as I had originally planned. So to go out and get a podium finish against such a tough field of drivers on Saturday night really made our whole team feel good about what we’ve got in place,” Mataragas said. “We’ve got a really good piece, and hopefully I’ll be able to race more the second of the season to show just how strong we are.”

Mike Mataragas traveled to the Dirt Oval at Route 66 Raceway (Joliet, Illinois) on Saturday night, where he made his 2018 DIRTcar Summer Nationals Hell Tour debut.

With 27 Super Late Models registered for action, Mataragas started his night by laying down the fastest time, and then backed it up with a 10-lap heat race victory. Earning the outside-front-row starting position for the $10,000-to-win A-Main, Mike fell one spot in the 30-lapper to notch a third-place finish behind Shannon Babb and Brandon Thirlby. Tony Jackson Jr. and Tim Manville completed the Top-5 finishers.
