Ross Robinson Rolls to Camp Barnes Benefit Triumph at Georgetown Speedway
Pockets $5,000 for Second Victory of 2024 at Delaware Oval
GEORGETOWN, Del. (08/05/24) – Ross Robinson Racing got sweet revenge in Thursday’s Camp Barnes Benefit at Georgetown Speedway with a dominating victory aboard his Commonwealth Equipment / Stockley Materials No. 7 DutchStar Motorsports / The Frozen Farmer / Wesley Collins Builders / XR1 Rocket Chassis / Clements Race Engine Super Late Model.
After a mechanical failure while leading the race in 2023 derailed his hopes of winning the event, the hometown driver led flag-to-flag in the 25-lap feature to claim his fourth win of the season and the $5,000 winner’s payday.
"We have a good package. It just seems to work no matter how far — I've said it before — no matter how far I get lost, I can always come home and I just think the package works," Robinson said. "And I owe a lot of that to (Rick Eckert who) was chasing me and making me earn it, too. He's helped me out a lot this year and I'm grateful for it. ... It's cool to get redemption from losing Camp Barnes last year when we were leading and had a part failure. (And) to see this place full like this for what this means for the kids and the state police."
Ross Robinson kicked off his month of August with a quick trip to his hometown track of Georgetown (DE) Speedway for the 52nd annual Camp Barnes Benefit.
Joined by his wife Amanda for the unsanctioned event, both Amanda and Ross raced into the A-Main with a heat race win. Seeking redemption in the feature after a parts failure spoiled his promising run in 2023 in the same event, Ross rolled to a flag-to-flag victory in the 25-lap affair to secure the $5,000 top prize. He was joined by Rick Eckert and Amanda on the podium.
The win marked Robinson's second of the season at the Delaware oval and fourth overall of the 2024 campaign.
