Tyler Carpenter (7) pulls away from K.C. Burdette (44) and never looks back.
What won the race: Taking command after an opening-lap caution, fourth-starting Tyler Carpenter of Parkersburg, W.Va., led all 26 laps to win Saturday's $5,000 Steel Block World Championship at Eldora Speedway. Carpenter cruised to win by 0.695 of a second over K.C. Burdette to claim the Steel Block portion of the 44th annual Dirt Track World Championship.
Quotable: “I’ve been wanting to win here something so bad, I don’t give a daggone if it’s a four-cylinder race, I just wanted to be up here in front of all you guys,” Carpenter exclaimed. “Just to say I won at Eldora man, I’m just always getting so close. We work ourselves (near) to death, people have no idea what we do just to try to perform here on this stage and I don’t care what anybody says, this is a tough place to run good at and man. If I gotta do it in the next class down, the heck with it, I’ll take it.”
Key notes: Carpenter captured his second career Burlile Steel Block Late Model Series victory and his first since Sept. 4, 2021, at Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, W.Va. ... Second-starting K.C. Burdette regained the runner-up spot on a lap-21 restart and trailed Carpenter the rest of the way. ... Apparent third-place finisher Wil Herrington was disqualified after postrace technical inspection, presumably for being found light at the scales. Herrington also failed postqualifying tech on Friday for being light, forcing him to tag his heat race. ... Derek Rogers inherited third following Herrington's DQ. ... Zach Milbee started 11th and finished fifth, clinching his fourth career SBLMS title and third in-a-row (2020, '22-'24). ... Skylar Marlar appeared to lose an engine while running 12th on the final lap, drawing the race's sixth caution. He did not continue. ... Miles Cook II spun on the ensuing restart to trigger the seventh and final stoppage. ... The biggest incident came on a lap-10 restart attempt when B.J. Gregory, Steve Dotson and Pete Crum all tangled on the frontstretch. Gregory got the worst of the deal, while Dotson also retired. Crum continued and was credited with 16th in the final rundown. ... Third-starting Tucker Anderson slowed from 10th on lap 21 before pulling off. ... The 26-lapper, extended one circuit after Marlar's expired engine, lasted 34 minutes, with 16 starters completing the distance and 21 running at the checkers.
On the move: Derek Rogers of Spelter, W.Va., started 21st and finished third; Lane Snook of Mifflintown, Pa., started 24th and finished sixth.
Winner's sponsors: Carpenter’s Kirk and Marty Isner-owned Kryptonite Race Car is powered by an Isner Racing Engine and sponsored by Isner Trucking, M&T Trucking, Orange Fatkat, Zamp Racing Suits & Accessories, KB Carbs, Integra Racing Shocks and Keyser Manufacturing.
