2014 Midwest Extreme Dirt Track Round #3 - Sikeston, MO Sikeston Racepark May 24, 2014

Sikeston, MO (6/6/2014) - Midwest Extreme Dirt Track series ROUND 3 took place in Sikeston, MO at Sikeston Racepark. The weather hammered the S.R.P. track the week before with 10 inches of rain that postponed the event to May 24th from May 17th which cost about 50 entries, but TRACK was happy to get the race in with its 144 entries, with 19 of them being 3 wheeler entries in 2 classes which was interesting to watch.

The Pro main event featured a nearly full front row with its 50’ wide starting straight that created evenly matched starting spots which led wide open into the first corner for the Maul Tech ATV Holeshot award.

Danny Seitz was second off the start (at the Maul-Tech Holeshot spot) on his Seitz / Wolff Motorsports Machine as H&H Extreme ATV’s Garret Keister put the move on Seitz in the second corner. The Keister / H&H / CV4 / DASA power plant kept Keister in the 2nd spot until lap 3 when he hit a soft spot in the track and tossed him causing a red flag.

After the restart, it was Wolff, Hibdon, Youngblood, Loshbaugh, and Reeves in the top 5 positions. Nathan Wolff pulled a good lead on his Wolff Motorsports / Round House Apparel / Walsh / Dasa / Maul-Tech Honda as most of the laps was ran through the tricky option lane that featured a motocross section. Wolff went on to earn this third MWEDT Pro Race at Sikeston Racepark.
