FREEPORT, Ill. (Sept. 9) - Darren "The Thriller" Miller used a late-race pass
around Denny Eckrich to retake the lead and the win Saturday in the WORLD Dirt
Racing League-sanctioned race, The Rebel, here at Freeport Raceway Park.
Brian Harris and Miller started on the front row. Miller grabbed the lead at
the drop of the green flag while Eckrich and Harris battled for second right
behind him. Eckrich found a way around Miller to take the lead on lap 45.
Eckrich led the trio through lapped traffic until Miller saw an opening and
worked around the high side of Eckrich to take the lead. Miller would go on to
take the win. Eckrich finished second. Harris was third followed by Dave Eckrich
and Justin Fegers.
