Drake Troutman tackles The Big Deal at Mississippi Thunder Speedway

Driving a George Beckett-owned Modified for the weekend, Drake Troutman joined a massive field of 145 entries at Mississippi Thunder Speedway (Fountain City, Wis.) on Wednesday afternoon for the qualifying night with the ONUM Dirt Modifieds.

Drawing in the third qualifying group, Troutman laid down the seventh-quickest lap out of 24 cars. This placed him in Thursday's preliminary action.

Starting fifth and finishing fourth in his heat, Drake earned a starting spot on the 10th-row for the $5,000-to-win preliminary feature where he would make up seven spots to finish 13th after 30 laps.

Needing a Top-8 finish in his B-Main on Saturday, Troutman came up one spot short with a ninth-place finish and was forced to watch the $100,0001-to-win main event from the sidelines.
