Middletown, NY – October 21, 2007 – By Tom Skibinski, DIRTcar Racing NorthEast PR Director
The Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock Series returned to Orange County Fair Speedway and it was Eric Marin taking advantage of home turf to capture his first career tour triumph to close out the full-fender portion of the 46th Annual Eastern States Weekend on Sunday afternoon.
Sixth-place starter Marin survived a half-dozen yellow flags to grab the lead on lap 10 and pulled away from Rob Rowe for six car-length lead to take top honors in the Leader Carpet Pro Stock Championship. Series standout Louie Jackson finished third ahead of early race leaders Robbie Speed and Mike Dutka.
Pete Stefanski was involved in a pair of mishaps during the early stages yet a 26th-place tally on the final scoresheet was good enough to claim a second straight overall Hoosier Tire-Sunoco Race Fuels Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stock title.
