Last weekend, the #28 team competed in one lone event on Saturday evening, April 27 at Peoria Speedway in Peoria, Illinois. The MARS Late Model Championship tour presided over the ‘Garry Swibold Memorial’ and 36 competitors showed up to vie for the $5,098 first place prize money. Dennis knocked down the second quickest time in Group B during qualifying prior to securing a heat race triumph. After starting third on the grid in the 40-lap main event, Dennis was running in the third position late in the distance when a flat tire relegated him to a disappointing sixteenth place effort.
