Race Report
- June 27, 2005
- For Immediate
Release
- Chetek, WI
-
- Rookie Eric
Ruppel Fighting Engine Woes
-
- Eric Ruppel is
in his first season as a CORR Sportsman Stock Truck competitor. The
past few years, Eric competed in the Johnsonville Formula 4x4 series
held in Northern Wisconsin.
-
- So far this
year, Eric and his #837 Amsoil, Phil’s Inc. BFGoodrich Tire, Swant
Graber Ford F-150 has shown the ability to run with the perennial
front-runners of the class, only to suffer engine problems.
Unfortunately the engine problems continued at the Forest County
Potawatomi Casino Brush Run held in Crandon, Wisconsin.
-
-
Round 5
- The land rush
start saw 13 trucks head for the Forest County Potawatomi Turn One
with Eric in sixth place. Quickly he made the pass for fifth and
began chase after the fourth place truck of Don Domeny. As the laps
went by, the mud began to restrict the radiator causing the engine
to overheat. Eric made a quick pit stop to add coolant and clean the
radiator. Unfortunately this caused the team to drop way back in the
order. At the checkered flag, Eric finished 9th.
-
-
Round 6
- Round 6 was
almost an exact repeat of Round 5. The radiator became restricted,
the engine was overheating, and a pit stop was made to correct the
problem. In the end Eric finished a disappointing 10th.
-
-
“Every weekend I learn a little more about driving this two-wheel
drive truck. We show everyone we can compete with the best in the
class; unfortunately we are having engine problems. For Crandon we
borrowed a motor, because the one that went terminal at Antigo just
wasn’t ready. The level of competition in CORR is incredible. As a
driver you must always bring your a-game and a race truck that’s
100% ready to compete. We will have our cooling problems cured and
our new powerplant ready to go for Topeka.” – Eric Ruppel
-
- At the halfway
point in the season Eric Ruppel and Loose Cannon Racing are in
eighth place overall in the Lucas Oil CORR Sportsman Stock Truck
Division.
-
- Next Race -
July 8-9, the Toyo
Tires Off-Road Championships at Heartland Park in Topeka,
Kansas.
