Gregg Satterlee Posts Podium Finish in Inaugural Dirt Million
16th-to-3rd Run in Historic Event for “The Truthâ€
Indiana, Pennsylvania (08/28/18) – Gregg Satterlee advanced thirteen positions to post a third place finish on Saturday night in the inaugural Dirt Million behind the wheel of his Satterlee Petroleum Distributors #22 Valvoline/ Rocket Chassis XR1/ Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model.
For the Pennsylvania driver, who is known as “The Truth,†the strong run left him feeling encouraged on where his team is progressing.
“These good finishes keep our morale up,†he added. “It’s not easy every night racing with these guys. I guess it shows we’re capable of running well and gives us a shot in the arm heading into the home stretch of the season.â€
After pitting for a flat tire, Satterlee surged late in the event, and had a front-row seat for the battle for the lead between Earl Pearson Jr. and Bobby Pierce.
“Those last 10 laps, I don’t know what it looked like from the grandstand, but it looked crazy from where I was sitting,†Satterlee said. “I was really close to where I thought, if they did crash or have an incident, I was gonna be right there.â€
Gregg Satterlee followed the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) to Mansfield Motor Speedway (Mansfield, Ohio) on Friday evening for the opening round of the inaugural Dirt Million.
Drawing 77 Super Late Models for a pair of $10,000-to-win preliminary features, Gregg edged his way into the A-Main with the fourth-and-final transfer spot in his heat race. Breaking into the Top-10, Satterlee improved eight positions in the 30-lap affair to place eighth.
Returning on Saturday, Satterlee started the night with a heat race victory, locking his spot into the $202,940-to-win finale. Receiving the 16th-starting position after the redraw, Gregg suffered a flat left-front tire on lap-31 that sent him pitside. Rejoining the field from the tail, Gregg Satterlee charged through the field, reeling in a third-place finish behind Earl Pearson Jr. and Bobby Pierce with Ricky Weiss and Scott Bloomquist completing the Top-5 finishers.
Greg sits in 11th in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point standings. For full results from these events, please visit www.LucasDirt.com .
LOLMDS competition will see Gregg entering a trio of events over the course of the Labor Day weekend. Action opens with $12,000-to-win events on Friday at Ponderosa Speedway (Junction City, Kentucky) and Saturday at Portsmouth Raceway Park (Portsmouth, Ohio), while Sunday will see the team chasing a $50,000 top prize in the annual Hillbilly 100 at West Virginia’s Tyler County Speedway.
