Autumn Woods Double Dips in Springfield

The Autumn Woods Racing team of Jeff Dedick and Ricky Brantley continued their team success at the Special Events 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals in Springfield, Ill. on June 23-24.

Monsoon-style rains flooded the outdoor track, turning the event into a slop-fest. Qualifying rounds were cancelled on Saturday leaving the entire field of teams on stand-by for Sunday's final.

Despite more wet weather on Sunday, the Jamboree held a one-lap qualifying for placement in the bracket-style racing. With conditions being to dangerous for side-by-side racing, singled-timed runs would determine the weekend winners. Time measured by a single stopwatch placed Dedick into second by a narrow 2/10ths of a second. Just behind Dedick was teammate Brantley in third.

For the season, AWR trucks remain in second (Dedick) and third (Brantley) respectively in overall points.

AWR will be in Bloomsburg, Pa. for an ESPN-recorded 4-Wheel Jamboree on July 13-15.

Until then, we'll see you at the races,
