Derek Robbie excited for his second race of the season at Seekonk Speedway during Open Wheel Wednesday
15-year-old phenom looking for another solid race July 20th
BELLINGHAM, MA- Derek Robbie will make his second start at Seekonk Speedway on Wednesday when the family-owned team travels to Seekonk Speedway in Seekonk, Massachusetts. Wednesday will be his 5th Pro Four Modified of New England Series race. The 15-year-old from Bellingham, Massachusetts, drives the family owned DDR Motorsports #27 Limited Pro Four Modified.
Last time Robbie was at Seekonk he did not finish the heat race due to mechanical issues, but he hopes to finish it this Wednesday. In the feature Robbie started scratch on the field in 23rd place and slowly moved up through the field. With 5 to go Derek spun the car battling for 7th position but quickly got control of the car and didn't lose his position. Robbie completed the race in the 7th place position.
"I'm hoping to continue to my steady progress and keep on learning" said Robbie. Derek is excited to come back to Seekonk speedway where he showed the best finish of the season with a 7th place finish.
This season is Robbie's 8th year racing with DDR-Motorsports. He began his career racing Quarter midgets and later a 270 sprint car before getting behind the wheel of the modified.
In Robbie's last race he debuted at Stafford Motor Speedway during the Extreme Tuesday event. Though the final run down does not display the results everyone hoped for, the team deemed it a good day. During practice Derek quickly adapted to the ultra fast Stafford Speedway. In the heat race Robbie was scheduled to start 5th, but the 86 car moved to the rear before the green and Derek slid up to the 3rd starting position. On the start, Derek encountered shifting problems. He quickly rebounded and brought up the back of the pack in 8th. Derek remained calmed and quietly started moving forward. At the conclusion of the heat race he found his way in to 4th place.
Next up the feature, where Robbie would start 17th. Derek would not stay there long were he quickly moving up through the field. The first 3 laps saw him get to 14th when he saw two cars begin to spin in front of him. Quick action allowed Derek to miss them to claimed the 12th position. On the restart Robbie garnered 10th and stayed there for awhile running at the back of the lead pack. This until he over drover the corner and lost control of the car and spun. After regaining control of the car he began the long assault to run the field down. When Robbie was making a pass for the 15th spot he got together with the 75 and spun again. This time the caution came out. He would restart 15th and move to 12th when the throttle cable broke and ended his day. Robbie hopes to rebound from the disappointing finish at Stafford and get the top 5 he has been chasing all year.
With the race at Stafford showing a DNF in the record book Robbie keeps his rookie points lead, and increased his margin to second place. Derek also moved into the top 10 in overall drivers points with his finish that evening.
