ENGLISH LEADS MAJORITY
OF HAROLD HARDGROVE MEMORIAL
(September
2, 2021) Fresh off completing the grueling DIRTcar Summer
Nationals tour, Tanner English and Riggs Motorsports busted out
a new XR1 Rocket Chassis on Saturday night, August 28 at Lake
Cumberland Speedway in Burnside, Kentucky. The Valvoline Iron-Man
Late Model Series presided over the annual running of the 'Harold
Hardgrove Memorial' and a 25 car field converged on the Bluegrass
State oval for the single-day throwdown. (MRM

Tanner promptly laid down the fastest lap overall
during the qualifying session before securing a heat race triumph.
After starting the $10,022 to win main event from the pole position
and leading the first 36 circuits, Tanner unfortunately knocked
part of his spoiler off and faded late in the 50-lap distance
to finish fifth at the checkers behind only victor Michael Chilton,
Josh Rice, Devin Gilpin, and Dustin Linville. Complete results
from the annual 'Harold Hardgrove Memorial' can be found by clicking
on www.imdirt.net.
The #81e team will jump right back into action later
tonight, September 2 in the first of three MARS Racing Series
battles in the Land of Lincoln. Tanner will gun for the $5,000
winner's check tonight at Farmer City Raceway in Farmer City,
Illinois. Another $5,000 payday will then be up for grabs at the
same 1/4-mile, fairgrounds facility on Friday evening, September
3. The Labor Day tripleheader weekend will then conclude with
the $10,000 to win 'FALS Super Nationals' on Saturday, September
4 at Fairbury Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois. You can learn more
