July 13-15 brought the pair to Bloomsburg, Pa. Dedick led the way into the bracket-style showdown as the number one qualifier. Brantley was two spots behind him in third. Running the small "S"-course with tight turns and heavy dust cover made the side-by-side racing difficult. Dedick pushed his truck in semi-finals, but was held off by Sonny Dohrmund and finished fourth.
In his heat race, Brantley went head-to-head with Colin Dorshimer. A mechanical problem pushed him out of the race, finishing third.
Last weekend brought the AWR team to Middletown, N.Y. for a NORRA event July18-19. 16 Pro-Modified and 7 Unlimited trucks found themselves on the muddy track.
Dedick took part in the 5-lap, Pro-Modified race. Dedick, who took a second in his qualifying race, pushed his truck into second but was an able to get around a lapped rider to contend for the lead.Adam Pautsch also drove an AMSOIL sponsored truck in the Pro-Modified class. Despite finishing second in his heat race, Pautsch was unable to finish the feature due to mechanical issues.
Dedick then switched trucks and ran in the Unlimited class. The veteran driver pushed his off-road rig into second, but once again, the slower trucks blocked his path for the win.
Autumn Woods will be back on the road again to Canfield Ohio, Buffalo N.Y. and Essex Junction Vt. in the coming weeks.
Until then, we'll see you at the races,
Jeremy Meyer
AMSOIL Racing Coordinator
