Drake Troutman earns Rookie of the Year title at Dirt Late Model Dream
Opening up the weekend with a $20,000-to-win FloRacing show, Drake Troutman was one of 85 Super Late Models at Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) on Wednesday evening for the 31st-annual Dirt Late Model Dream.
Troutman barely missed the FloRacing show on Wednesday and turned his attention to the preliminary night on Thursday. Charging forward in his heat race, Drake started on the pole of his B-Main and brought back the victory which put him in the preliminary feature where he placed 23rd.
Drake made up four positions in his heat on Saturday and grabbed the final transfer spot in his last chance showdown which earned him a spot in the $100,000-to-win DLM Dream. Troutman recorded a 22nd-place outing in the 100-lapper.
The effort landed Troutman Rookie of the Year honors and a crisp $2,000 payday.
