Eddie Sharp Racing Toyota head to first dirt track race of the season at the Illinois State Fairgrounds on Sunday, August 22. Goess, coming off an eighth-place finish at the road course of New Jersey Motorsports Park, looks to continue his streak of seven consecutive top-10 finishes, marking his 10th top-10 of the 13 races so far this season. Craig Goess Fast Facts: Last Race: New Jersey Motorsports Park: Goess took on his second road course of the year at the 2.25-mile Thunderbolt Raceway course at the New Jersey Motorsports Park. The weekend got off to a rough start when Goess wrecked his car during the first practice, then the engine blew in the back-up car during the final practice. Despite the bumpy start, Goess was able to bring home an eighth-place finish. Goess on the Dirt: The August 2009 race at the Illinois State Fairgrounds marked Goess' first-ever race on a dirt track. The driver, who grew up racing on asphalt in Legends cars, got caught up in an accident halfway through the race, and he settled for a 26th-place finish. The series also traveled to the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds in September 2009, a one-mile clay oval track, where Goess competed in his second dirt track race. After only five laps in the 100-lap race, the No. 81 got caught up in a five-car accident. He finished the race 34th. The series will head back to the DuQuoin, Illinois dirt track this season on September 6. In the Points: Goess moved down one position in the ARCA Racing Series point standings to second-place behind Frank Kimmel, who finished fourth at NJMP. Goess is only 10 points out of the first-place position with seven races remaining in the 2010 ARCA Racing Series schedule. Listen live: Live scoring, timing and audio will be available during practice, qualifying and the Allen Crowe 100 on www.ARCARacing.com. QUOTES Goess on running the dirt track at Illinois State Fairgrounds: "Last season, we didn't have the best of luck at the dirt tracks. The race at the Illinois State Fairgrounds was my first race ever on a dirt track. I'm going back to the dirt tracks with more experience in the series, and I'm really looking forward to it. Coming off the road course race in New Jersey, it really shows how diverse the tracks are that we compete at throughout one season. That is what makes the ARCA Racing Series unique."
