Strickler Sweeps Lancaster Speedway
Saturday night May 22nd Team Fat Dog Racing made the trip to Lancaster Speedway in Lancaster South Carolina for the first ever open wheel race at the famed half mile speedway. With nineteen cars on hand the first order of bussiness was qualifing. Kyle Stricker piloting the Harris Auto Racing modified went out ninth for his qualifing run and paced the field with a time of 21.61 seconds earning his second pole position start in three atempts. The field was set and Team Fat Dog Racing was on the front row. From the start Kyle took command and led the A main wire to wire winning the tenth race of the 2010 season. We are having a great season stated team owner George Eisenhower, we had the owner of Harris Auto Racing and five time Super Nationals winner John Logue with us this weekend. Winning with John here was awesome, just to have him here and to be able to pick his brain a little was invaluable. Harris Auto Racing builds great race cars and we are having a dream season.

Strickler Runs Second at Carolina
From his sixth starting spot in the main, Kyle Strickler went to work trying to catch the leader, when Nick Hoffman, in a blatent move, ran over the 01 car and tried to wreck Kyle. Kyle did a great job keeping the car off the third turn wall. On the restart Kyle again starting working on leader Ryan Ayers. Ryan and Kyle both distanced themselves from the field in a spirited battle, with Ryan coming out on top for his second win this season and Kyle in the runner-up spot.

We had a great race with Ryan, who is a tremendous talent, and our team will battle with him every week racing for the track title. It is unfortunate there is a driver who tries to wreck people on purpose, this has not only happened to us, but to other racers as well. What goes around comes around.

Strickler 4 for 4 at East Lincoln
After winning three straight at East Lincoln, Team Fat Dog Racing and driver Kyle Strickler had to start at the tail of the field. From the eighteenth starting spot, Kyle went to work at the waiving of the green flag. On lap three, Kyle moved up to the tenth spot, on lap seven he was in third, and the next trip around the 3/8 mile speedway he set his sights on race leader Tim Sigmon.

The high-side flyer, Kyle Strickler, used his patented rim riding move to drive by the race leader and take command of the race, winning his fourth race in as many starts at the Ray Evernham owned racetrack.

Man, that was a hot race. The race track had ruts everywhere, and it just beat the heck out of our car and myself. My guys did a great job tonight, and we recorded our ninth win of the year, topping last season's win total for owner George Eisenhower.

We have a big weekend next week, with Carolina next Friday, and our first trip to Lancaster Speedway in South Carolina on Saturday. On top of that, we have five-time Supernationals winner and the owner of Harris Auto Racing, John Logue, coming to town to race with our team.

"We have alot to so this week in a short amount of time, but our guys are up to the task," said team owner George Eisenhower.
