MACON, Ill. – Fresh off a victory on Friday at Lincoln Speedway, Erik Vanapeldoorn completed the weekend sweep in the Hornet Challenge on Saturday at Macon Speedway.
The race began with Greg Garrison and Mike Eskew exchanging the top spot. Garrison took off and raced away. However, a caution flag led to a restart and Garrison fell through the group as he was driving around on a flattened right-front tire.
That’s when Vanapeldoorn, who started 15th, seized the chance and took the lead. He held serve for the rest of the race, earning the $1,000 payday as a result.
Other winners on Saturday evening at Macon included Tyler Day (micro sprints), Dakota Ewing (pro late models), Terry Reed (street stocks), Tommy Sheppard Jr. (modifieds) and Tim Hancock Sr. (pro modifieds).
