TEASLEY STUMBLES IN REAL STREET; RALLIES TO WIN TWO OTHER MIROCK EVENT TITLES
Heavily favored Jeremy Teasley of Orient, Ohio, didn’t win the DME Real Street championship Sunday in the opening event in the 2012 Mickey Thompson Performance Tires MIRock Superbike Series and Steve Earwood’s Rockingham Dragway.

In fact, Teasley didn’t even advance out of the first round of Real Street in the 13th annual Honda-Suzuki of Sanford Spring Open. The reigning MIRock champion was guilty of a rare foul start against Richard Gadson of Hammonton, N.J., that cleared the way for Johnny “Nitro” Dobrin of Sarasota, Fla., to win for the third time in the series but for the first time at The Rock.

Dobrin rode his national record-holding turbo Suzuki past Suzuki of Ashon Dickerson of Newark, N.J., in the final. Meanwhile, Teasley was able to come back from that first round stumble to win in Orient
Express Pro Street and in the FBR Shop 5.60 class.

The talented Teasley, most prolific winner in the history of the MIRock Series, had won nine of 10 previous Real Street races at Rockingham.

Other winners included reigning series champ Ronnie Procopio Jr. of Wake Forest in the Mickey Thompson Pro Mod class, Boo Brown of Potomac Falls, Va., in Trac King/APE Top Sportsman category and Brandon Teasley of Ashville, Ohio, in the House of Speed Crazy 8s division.

In addition to Teasley, Mike Schulz of Manassas Park, Va., also was a double-up winner, claiming the Brock’s Street ET titles on both Saturday and Sunday. The Nitrous Express Pro ET winners were Jerry Turner of Bluff City, Tenn., on Saturday and Michael Herman of Fredericksburg, Va., on Sunday. Turner also won the Nitrous Express $500 bonus for winning the most rounds in Pro E.T.

Next race in the MIRock Series is the Fast by Gast Spring Nationals, April 28-19, at Maryland International Raceway. Next event at Rockingham Dragway will be the Schnitz Summer Sizzler, June 30-July 1.
