Inside Line Promotions – COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (Aug. 22, 2016) – Patrick Dills is one solid performance away from securing his second straight track championship at Cottage Grove Speedway.
Dills leads the Extreme Sprints championship standings by 19 points entering this Saturday’s season finale for the class at the quarter-mile oval.
“We really want to back up our championship performance last year and we feel great about our chances to do so,” he said. “We need to have a consistent night from start to finish and if we can do that we will accomplish our goal.”
Dills is tied for the class lead with two feature victories and seven top-five finishes. He’s also tied for second with nine top-10 results in 10 features this season.
“Consistency is what wins championships,” he said. “We’ve been consistent in qualifying and heat races all year. We’ve had a couple of bad results in main events because of bad luck, but that’s part of racing and our consistency has overcome that.”
A win this Saturday will help accomplish one of the team goals of another track title.
“Last year we ended the season with a win on championship night to cap everything the right way,” he said. “I can’t think of a better way to wrap up the year in the Extreme Sprints class than to go out with a win and a championship so that’s our goal for this weekend.”
Saturday is also the first night of the Triple Crown, which features three races in three straight weekends. The second round is Sept. 3 at Coos Bay Speedway in Coos Bay, Ore., and the final round is Sept. 10 at Southern Oregon Speedway in White City, Ore.
