Eric Turner Wins in Pannell Motorsports Debut at Lakeside 

HERMITAGE, MO (October 6, 2010) – Usually it takes at least a few races for drivers and teams to gel, but for Eric Turner it took less than one night as he powered the #33x Pannell Motorsports/Rocket Chassis to a $3,000 feature win on Friday night at Lakeside Speedway (Kansas City, Kansas) 

Eric began a new chapter of his career with a bang on Friday night, October 1^st as he piloted the #33x Pannell Motorsports Rocket to the feature win at Lakeside Speedway (Kansas City, Kansas) in his first night in the ride!  After earning a front row starting spot in the first night of the Clyde Ellis Memorial, Turner bolted to the lead at the drop of the green flag, and never looked back en route to the $3,000 payday, which also marked his first ever win with the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model Series. The victory was his sixth of the 2010 season! 

In racing, your luck can change in a split second, and such was the case for Eric on Saturday night in night #2 of the Clyde Ellis Memorial at Lakeside Speedway (Kansas City, KS).  After winning his heat race, Turner started 5th in the $5,000 to win event. He was excited about his chances of making a weekend sweep in the feature, but on the first lap contact from Dale McDowell would send Eric hard into the wall, bringing his night to a disappointing end. 

This weekend, October 8^th-9^th, Turner will once again be driving a Pannell Motorsports entry as the team travels to Thunderhill Speedway (Mayetta, Kansas) for a Lucas Oil MLRA Late Model Series double header.  On Friday night a complete $2,000 to win event will be held, while Saturday night will see a complete $3,000 to win program.  For more information on the events, please www.RaceThunderhillSpeedway.com and www.MLRARacing.com .
