BICKFORD, EMMETT, SUMMERS DOUBLE UP AT THE ROCK 17-Hour Marathon Crowns Champs in First Midwest Jr. Dragster Super Series Race ROCKINGHAM, N.C. – Concord’s Marissa Bickford was among three drivers with championship rings on two different fingers after officials outraced the weather with a marathon 17 consecutive hours of Jr. Dragster racing Saturday at Rockingham Dragway. Bickford, a Rockingham Dragway regular, was joined by Carson “Big Check” Emmett of Cedar Bluff, Ala., and Jackson Summers of Franklin, Ky., as double-up winners in the inaugural event in the 2018 ProtecttheHarvest.com Midwest Jr. Dragster Super Series presented by Lucas Oil. That threesome along with the other Saturday champions went home not only with purse money and Lucas Oil products, but distinctive “Big Daddy” trophies and championship rings specially crafted by Hayes Jewelers and presented by Roy Hill’s Drag Racing School and Rockingham Dragway. Bickford won both the Pro Sportsman A and 7.90 Index titles in her GUNK Engine Cleaner/jrdragsterparts.com Special while Summers won the 6-9 age group and the 13.90 Index race. Emmett won the Pro Sportsman B and 10-12 age group races and just missed out on a third title when he was beaten by Blake Combs of Bluff City, Tenn., in the 8.90 final. Nathan Prose of Terre Haute, Ind., walked away with all the hardware in the featured Quick 16 class, Alexis Tanner of Rensselaer, Ind., won in Outlaw 330 and Landon Palmer of Scottsville, Va., was the Sportsman winner. Blaine Todd won the 11.90 Index title and Sadie Wilks took home the trophy and ring in the 13-and-up age group. The series next moves to Indianapolis for a May 11 event at Lucas Oil Raceway. Television coverage of the Rockingham event, made possible through sponsorship by Roy Hill’s Drag Racing School, will air on MAVTV Motorsports at a date to be determined.
