Kicking off the 22nd Annual Dirt Late Model Dream, Mike Benedum headed to Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) on Thursday night for three-day UMP DIRTcar sanctioned event. With seventy-two cars signed in, Benedum fell one spot short of a transfer position in his heat with a 6th place outing. Starting on the 3rd row of his B-Main, Mike improved two spots landing a runner-up finish behind Dennis Erb Jr. securing his spot into the 25-lap opening night A-Main. Advancing four spots in the $5,000-to-win feature, Mike Benedum recorded a 18th place outing.

On Friday night with a 8th place starting position for his heat race, Benedum worked his way into a transfer spot gaining three spots to place 5th. Starting in 18th for the $10,000-to-win A-Main, Mike dropped one position in the 25-lapper logging a 19th place finish. (Heath Lawson Photo)
