The Independence Lumber Racing team invaded the Columbus Speedway in Columbus, Mississippi on March 9-10 for the annual 'Rebel Challenge.' Damon Eller was very successful at the "Baddest Bullring in the South," as he was able to notch a pair of sixth place performances at Columbus over the weekend. On Friday evening, Damon won his qualifying race before finishing sixth in the $2,000 to win A-Main. On Saturday, March 10, the Crumpler, North Carolina native qualified well and rolled off eighth for the 50-lap, $10,000 to win 'Rebel Challenge.' After fifty green flag racing laps, Damon found himself credited with another sixth place finish behind winner Don O'Neal, Steve Francis, Shannon Babb, Clint Smith, and Shane Clanton.

"Damon ran very well over the weekend at Columbus," commented team owner Randall Eller today via telephone. "We were able to qualify well both nights and that set us up to be successful during the feature events. Hopefully, we can continue to run strong and get Damon some valuable experience before the Lucas Oil Series starts back up on March 31 at Brownstown."

Damon and his #I4 team will be back in action this coming weekend, as they will compete in a trio of Dirt Late Model events. The North Georgia Speedway in Chatsworth, Georgia will be stop one this weekend, as a $3,000 to win, unsanctioned event is on tap at the northern Georgia oval on Friday night, March 16.

A $7,500 payday is up for grabs in the 60-lap main event, which will be sanctioned by the O'Reilly Southern Allstars Series.
