Neat Concludes Season with Thirteenth Place Run in DTWC...

Brad Neat and his #41 team closed out their version of the 2011 racing season with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finale on October 14-15 at the newly renamed Atomic Speedway in Alma, Ohio. The 31st Annual 'Dirt Track World Championship' drew ninety competitors to the south-central Ohio facility, all of whom were gunning for the hefty $50,000 top prize. Due to persistent rain showers on Friday night, the entire show was condensed into a one-day program starting Saturday afternoon.

Brad timed in thirty-second fastest in his group during time trials and later finished thirteenth in his loaded heat race. After pulling up lame in his B-Main, Brad took use of a series provisional to gain access into the 100-lap crown jewel event. With single file racing the norm all day and no track prep, the DTWC featured virtually no passing as well. The Dunnville, Kentucky native started twenty-sixth on the grid and finished thirteenth in the final rundown after attrition took its toll on the field. Following the season finale, Brad was credited with an eighth place finish in the final Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point standings. Full results can be viewed online at www.lucasdirt.com.
