The track conditions were not in our favor but we still were able to set quick time in our group and finish second in the heat.” Dylan ran third for the first ten laps and then fell back to finish [...]

NORRIS SHOWS SPEED DESPITE RESULTS; THREE RACE WEEKEND AHEAD
Hanover, PA (April 18, 2023) – Dylan Norris and the Gobrecht Motorsports Team opted out of running Williams Grove on Friday night as they got their engine program squared away after last weekend. The Team intended to run Lincoln on Saturday night but racing was canceled due to weather. Sunday night Norris and the team were back in action at BAPS Motor Speedway with 31 cars in competition. Dylan lined up fifth in his heat race and that is where he finished, qualifying for the feature, “We struggled in the heat but ended up finding we had a left rear shock go bad.” Norris started the feature 15th and got caught up in an on-track incident in turns 1 and 2 on the initial start. Norris rejoined the field and would once again find trouble in turns 1 and 2, this time on the final lap. Dylan was scored as [...]
ENGINES WOES PLAGUE NORRIS THROUGHOUT WEEKEND
Hanover, PA (April 10, 2023) – Williams Grove finally got their season opener in on Friday night but to say the night did not go as planned for Dylan and the Gobrecht Motorsports Team would be an understatement. After a third place finish in the point standings in 2022, Norris was looking to come out of the gate strong to back up last year’s success at the famous half-mile. Dylan started the night timing third quickest in his time trial group which put him second for the start of heat 2, but Norris would not be able to make the call for his heat race, “We blew a motor Friday night in warmups and didn’t have one that had enough horsepower to put in to be worth our time.” The team went to work and swapped out motors to get ready for Lincoln on Saturday night. Dylan started seventh in [...]
