Podium Finish for DNN Motorsports at SCCA DirtFish Rallycross National Championships!
With the SCCA Solo Nationals scheduled for September in Lincoln, Nebraska, suddenly cancelled, the team switched it up at the last minute and transformed the Fiesta ST from tarmac to dirt and drove 25 hours to Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kansas, to compete in the 2020 SCCA DirtFish Rallycross National Championships.
At the event Rob Krider clawed his way up the standings during the two day event improving his times against the rest of the Stock Front Wheel Drive class (SF) and earned a podium finish by a mere 18 thousandths of a second on the very last run of the championships.
Then it was a mere 25 hour drive back to California, cruising through numerous sights like the Utah Salt Flats, bringing home some National Championship hardware for the team’s trophy case. A quick write-up of the results can be found HERE from the SCCA. A full wrap-up story can be found HERE from the Napa Valley Register.
