Dirt late model driver has been suspended after the crash with Garrett Alberson
Over the weekend, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series raced at Batesville Motor Speedway for the Topless 100. On Friday night, Garrett Alberson pulled a slider on Cade Dillard in the Group B feature.
Alberson cleared him but Dillard had momentum off the corner. It appeared that Dillard attempted to cross under Alberson but instead drove into his left rear fender.
In the process, Dillard climbed over the left rear wheel of Alberson. Alberson was turned into the outside wall. Both cars were collected and nearly flipped.
After the incident, Dillard had a lot to say, noting previous run-ins with Alberson. He stated, “If he touches me again, I’ll total him out, again.”
