Ross Robinson
Robinson 14th in Ralph Latham Memorial at Florence
After Mother Nature plagued the tour in the months of March and April, Ross Robinson returned with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) on Thursday evening at Atomic Speedway (Chillicothe, Ohio) for the ninth running of the Buckeye Spring 50.
Forced to use a provisional into the opening night feature after missing a transfer spot in his heat race and B-Main, Ross worked forward six spots in the 50-lap affair to finish 19th.
For Friday’s John Bradshaw Memorial on Friday evening at Ponderosa Speedway (Junction City, Ky.), Robinson laid down the seventh-fastest lap in his time trial group before placing third in his heat. With $12,000 on the line in the feature, Ross recorded a 16th-place outing.
In a field of 41 LOLMDS entries on Saturday at Florence Speedway (Union, Ky.) for the 37th annual Ralph Latham Memorial, Ross logged a pair of eighth-place finishes in his heat and consolation race, relegating him to the 12th row for the $15,000-to-win A-Main via a provisional. Advancing forward 10 spots in the 50-lapper, Robinson raced to a 14th-place finish.
