In the feature Earl would run near the top 5 the entire race and finish a strong 5th place in the final run down. “Our car was just a little off this weekend, but we are happy to get another top 5 finish. As long as we can consistently run in the top 5 at every event we enter we will get our share of wins in 2005”, stated Earl. The Dunn-Benson Ford Motorsports team will prepare for three events this weekend to compete in. Friday March 11th Earl and the team will head to Columbus Mississippi for the “Rebel Challenge” a 40-lap feature paying $2,000 to the winner.
