PHILLIPS RALLIES
TO TENTH IN DLM DREAM!
(June
9, 2013) The Terry Phillips Racing (TPR) team
roared into the famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio on
June 6-8 for the 19th Annual 'Dirt Late Model Dream.' The
expanded race format kicked off on Thursday and Friday at
the "Big E" with Twin 25s. On Thursday night, Terry
Phillips ran third in his heat race and wound up twenty-first
in the final rundown of the $2,500 to win feature event. At
the hallowed high-banks on Friday evening, Terry narrowly
missed out on the $5,000 to win main event after finishing
eighth in his heat race and fifth in his B-Main.
Things ratcheted up in a hurry on Saturday,
as a whopping $100,000 top prize was on the line in the 'Dirt
Late Model Dream.' Terry placed fifth in his stacked heat
race and later earned the third transfer spot through the
B-Main. After rolling off from the inside of the twelfth row
in the 100-lap crown jewel extravaganza, TP utilized the bottom
groove of the 1/2-mile oval to climb all the way to a tenth
place finish. Complete results from the long weekend at Eldora
can be viewed online at www.eldoraspeedway.com.

edition of the 'Show-Me 100' tonight at the state-of-the-art
Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri. Terry was involved
in a wreck in his B-Main, which led to a twelfth place finish,
but later received a MLRA Series provisional to gain access
into the $30,000 to win crown jewel event. TP was then able
to pick off seventeen competitors during the 100-lapper on
his way to a respectable eleventh place performance.
(May
24, 2013) Action really heated up tonight
at Wheatland, as qualifying and heat races were held for the
21st Annual 'Show-Me 100,' which is being co-sanctioned by
the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA Series.
Terry Phillips timed in a disappointing thirty-second fastest
in Group A during qualifying, but later moved up to sixth
in his stacked heat race. TP will look to earn a coveted transfer
position into the $30,000 to win crown jewel event through
one of the B-Mains tomorrow evening. At the end of the night
tonight, Terry took the win in the Race of Champions, which
featured only past 'Show-Me 100' winners, to pocket an extra
