Plattsburgh, NY - Yet another flat tire turned what appeared to be a winning run into a sixth place finish. From an eight place starting spot,  Brent quickly moved to the front, taking the lead on lap 27. The #55 held the lead - sometimes by a full straightaway - until slowing with the deflating tire and then spinning into the infleld on lap 148.

Brent started the evening off well by placing first in the 3rd of the 12 lap heats.

Brent had worked his machine from the 13th starting spot to third by lap 14 as light rain began to pepper the 1/3-mile oval. Dragon took second on lap 32 and pulled alongside the leader at the 40-circuit mark. The #55 took over the lead on lap 42.

The skies opened up just before 9 PM. After trying to keep the track dry for nearly 10 minutes, the cars were sent to the pit area to wait out the showers. Mother Nature, however, failed to cooperate, forcing the remainder of the event to be tabled. Since the race was 8 laps short of reaching the halfway point, which would have made it an official event, it was determined that the $20,000 purse and $2,400 first place paycheck would be doled out in a return visit.

Groveton, NH - Brent came back to a 10th place finish in the Central Falls Asphalt 100 after pitting to change a flat.

Oxford, ME - Aug. 2nd was not a good night for the #55. Brent was hit in the left rear and spun off of turn three with a flat. Upon pitting, the rim was found to be bent over the lugs. Several laps were lost while the wheel was changed.  A win by Scott Dragon combined with two poor showings for Brent moved Scott into the ACT points lead with 792 while Brent fell to third with 748 on the board.

Epping, NH - A run from a 21st place starting position fell apart as Brent was hit from behind and pushed into the car ahead.
The hood was buckled up and Brent could barely see. He waited for a yellow to pit and went a lap down. 

Oxford, ME - A run to sixth in the Maine-ly Action Sports 100
on Saturday June 12th put Brent with 628 points solidly in first ahead of cousin Scott Dragon's 613 markers - and earns Brent the ACT first leg bonus award. Leading the Tour's   points standings at the 2003 half way mark pays $ 5,000.00.

Oxford, Me  -  Brent and Scott Dragon, six points apart atop the tightly bunched ACT New England Dodge Tour championship point standings, are headed to Oxford Plains Speedway this Saturday, July 12 for a 100-lap battle that will decide who collects the winner’s share of the Tour’s first-half point-fund payout.

Leading the Tour at the end of the night will be worth $5,000. In addition, the ACT Dodge Tour 100 has a posted purse of $20,950 that pays $2,000 to win. In each of ACT’s previous appearances at OPS, the winner’s check has stayed local. Ryan Moore won the 2001 event, then went on to win the track title. Ricky Rolfe followed suit last year, holding off eventual ACT champion Phil Scott for the win.

Brent Dragon, second to Moore in 2001, returns to Oxford Plains on a roll. Dragon put the Leo’s Furniture/Kinney Drugs Dodge No. 55 in victory lane two weeks ago at Circuit Ste-Croix, Quebec then took over the point lead from cousin Scott (538-532) with his win Saturday at Waterford (CT) Speedbowl.
