Brad Neat Suffers Mechanical Gremlins at Paducah...
The #41 squad invaded the Paducah International
Raceway in Paducah, Kentucky last Friday night, June 26, as the
UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour rolled into PIR. Brad Neat laid
down the second quickest lap in his group during time trials and
later finished second in his heat race. After starting in the
sixth position in the $10,000 to win main event, Brad ran inside
of the top five throughout most of the race until left front suspension
problems forced him to retire in the late stages. The mechanical
gremlins relegated the Dunnville, Kentucky native to a disappointing
eighteenth place effort in the 40-lap affair. You can view complete

the green flag and never looked back on his way to recording the
$7,000 triumph over Wendell Wallace, Chris Wall, Tony Knowles,
and Anthony Burroughs.
On Friday evening, the Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series took the #41 team to the North Georgia Speedway in

to gain access into the $10,000 to win feature and rolled off
twenty-second on the grid. He was then able to pick up five positions
during the course of the 50-lap A-Main en route to a seventeenth
place effort.
Following a rain-out of the scheduled $10,000 to win Lucas Oil
Late Model Dirt Series show at the Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga,
Alabama on Saturday, the #41 team made a late dash to the Bluegrass

Brad
Neat and his #41 Dirt Late Model team made the yearly trek to
the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio on Friday and Saturday,
June 5-6 for the 15th Annual 'Dream 100.' The crown jewel extravaganza
once again paid a whopping $100,000 to the winner. Brad qualified
eighth fastest during time trials on Friday night, which put him
in great position to transfer into the 100-lap main event through
heat race action on Saturday. Unfortunately, while battling for
the second spot in his heat race, Brad's #41 machine picked up
a push and made heavy contact with the outside retaining wall
between turns three and four. The Dunnville, Kentucky native's
night came to an abrupt end, as he was unable to transfer into
the 'Dream 100.' You can view complete results online at www.dirtondirt.com.
