With fall upon us and winter fast approaching it is hard to believe summer is over. 

This past summer Team 60 experienced some big changes when we decided to shift our race program South East to Kentucky. While running the Southern tracks we managed to race at 11 new tracks including; Eldora Speedway, West Virginia Motor Speedway, Portsmouth Raceway Park, 201 Speedway, Brush Creek Motorsports Complex, Skyline Speedway, Moler Raceway Park, Atomic Speedway, Midway Speedway, Willard Speedway. Grand Rapids Speedway, I-94 Speedway, and Viking Speedway.  We raced a total of 23 times in 4 different states, capturing 8 feature wins and nine top 5 finishes.  It was great getting to know and work along side Jackie Boggs and the 4B Motorsports crew. The knowledge, people and memories we were part of are priceless. Thank you to all the sponsors who supported Team 60 in our new racing avenues. It was a great building year and look forward to great things to come.

On Saturday, October 19, Portsmouth Raceway Park was hosting the 3rd and final night of the Dirt Track World Championship. On the schedule was Late Model B-Mains, Modified Feature and the Lucas Oil Late Model feature. The stands were packed, there was not an empty seat in the house. Dan went out for hot laps and came back to make a few changes. About 6 minutes after coming in from hot laps PRP called for the Modified Feature to get on the track. Twenty seven competitive Modified drivers were lined up for the 30 lap Feature and Dan started 5th (third row, inside). Dan had a couple really fast runs after cautions but they never completed a lap, so they had to go back to original starting order. Dan was trying different lines on the race track but one line seemed to be the fastest groove and that was on the bottom. Dan ended up 7th in the Dirt Track World Championship Modified Feature. Our crew worked hard, we were honored to be racing against some of the best Modified drivers in the country and part of a very well known event in dirt racing.  

Team 60 can't thank our sponsors and fans enough for the support this season. 

Team #60 was back at Portsmouth Raceway Park in Ohio last night for the 33rd Annual Dirt Track World Championship. Thursday night was a full schedule of Modified racing. 98 Modified drivers from all over were registered and the stands were packed! Dan qualified 3rd fastest in his group which put him in heat 5 starting on the outside pole. Due to light rain all day the track condition was tacky and fast. Green flag dropped for heat 5, Dan and Johnson were side by side coming into and out of corner 2. Dan had a little faster line, he took the lead on lap 1 and for the remainder of the race all the way to the checkers. A top 3 finish in the heat was the goal, it guaranteed you a spot in Saturday nights big show. So, a 1st place finish in the heat was just a bonus. Tonight (Friday) will be a full schedule of qualifying and heats for the Lucas Oil Late Models. Saturday night will consist of Dan's Modified feature and the Lucas Oil Late Model $50,000 to win feature. For immediate updates and results on Saturday check Dan Ebert #60 on Facebook.

Thanks to all sponsors and fans. We are looking forward to Saturday nights Modified feature!

On Saturday September 28, Skyline Speedway was hosting their 30th annual Harvest 50. The Harvest 50 is a well known event that draws in top drivers in all classes and wraps up points for the drivers in the AMRA Octane Modified division. About 20 Sprint, 43 Late Model and 50 Modified drivers were registered for the night. Our pill draw put us 18th driver in line to qualifying and Dan ended up 7th fastest. There were five fully packed heats for the Modifieds and we were put in the 2nd heat where we finished 2nd. We transferred right to the feature which gave Dan time to think and make adjustments. "Right now we have a 4th to 7th place car, the set up we have will not win us the race" Dan claimed. Feature time came and Dan started 7th. Right off the start Dan made the right choice and stuck to the bottom line and managed to get by 3 cars. He then decided to run the high line and got by another 2 cars. Caution flag came and Dan and Jeremy Berwanger (Modified fastest qualifier) found themselves battling immediately as the green flag flew. Berwanger was running the bottom and Dan stuck to the top, racing through lap traffic, they switched positions back and forth. White flag came out and it was nose and nose close, both charging out of corner 4, Dan had just a little faster run and came through the checkered of the 30 lap race and captured himself a feature win! Both Dan and Berwanger put on a great show!

Thank you sponsors, crew and fans.

This past weekend our racing agenda was switched around when PRP Mod Squad Special was cancelled due to heavy rain. We decided to run at 201 Speedway on Sunday the 22nd where they were hosting a special for the late models and a normal weekly show for all other classes, so naturally the grand stands were packed. The night started out great, Dan qualified with the fastest lap time out of all modified drivers and placed him in the 1st heat starting on the pole. Leading every lap, Dan went on to win his heat where he earned himself a pole position start for the feature. The modified's went green and Dan jumped out front coming out of corner 2 and then is when the on going cautions began. Dan lead the field the whole race and captured a feature win at 201 Speedway!!

Couldn't do it without the help and support from all sponsors, crew and fans. Thank you.

On September 20th, only 20 miles from where we are living in Kentucky, Team #60 was excited to race at the 1/4 mile track at Wilard Speedway! Starting in the back of Heat 1 in the modified class, Dan raced his way through the pack and on the white flag he found himself nose to nose with the leader. Just inches short of a win Dan ended up 2nd in his heat. We started 3rd (2nd row inside) of the 25 lap feature. After many cautions, the checkered appeared and Dan ended up 2nd in the feature!

Opening night at Atomic Speedway on September 14th was record breaking in crowd attendance. The grand stands were packed with fans and the drivers meeting was full of racers from all over. Our draw number started Dan outside pole of the 3rd heat and he ended up winning. Taking 1st in the heat put us 3rd starting position in the feature (2nd row inside.) The feature began and right off the start Dan got hung up in the cushion and dropped back a few positions. He tried different lines and raced himself back up to 3rd when the checkered flag flew. It was a great night of racing at a new track!

Thank you to all sponsors and fans.

On September 13th, Team #60 made their way to Moler Raceway Park for a UMP Modified Special where there were a handful of competitive modified drivers registered for the night. Dan’s draw pick placed him in Heat 3 starting in the last row but our luck looked up when Dan found a groove and raced his way up to 2nd in the heat. Starting 6th in the 30 lap feature, Rhoades took the lead as soon as the green flag dropped. Dan, battling from 6th, found a line and was able to work himself up to 2nd and soon pass Rhoades for his 2nd consecutive win at Moler Raceway Park!!

On August 31st - Portsmouth Raceway Park was hosting their annual Lucas Oil Late Model Series Pepsi 50 River Days Rumble event where they also included Modifieds. Dan finished 2nd in his heat which put him 6th starting position in the feature. The modified A-main was the last to run and "perhaps the most competitive, at least up front" PRP press release quoted. The modified feature went green and Robinson jumped right out front. Dan, stuck in 6th and soon falling back to 7th was looking for an opportunity to make some passes. The track turned into a one groove, run along the bottom, follow the leader race so making a pass wasn't going to happen unless Dan made some changes. After a few restarts Dan changed his line and ran the cushion while everybody else stuck low on the track. Up to 2nd, Dan managed to get by Robinson coming into corner 1 as the white flag waved. Dan held Robinson off that last lap and came out of corner 4 charging to his 2nd Victory at PRP!!

Thank you to all sponsors and fans.
