Rossburg, OH — (May 25, 2014) — Jim nier won the Engine Pro Sprints on Dirt presented by ARP / K&L Ready Mix National Racing Alliance feature Sunday night at Eldora Speedway.

“I’ve been racing here a long time, been close a couple of times, but this place has whipped me on a regular basis,” said nier.  “(Eldora) is the most prestigious track in Ohio and the world, and it means everything to win here”.

Jared Horstman and Ryah Ruhl started on the front row for the 20-lap feature.  Horstman took the lead as Ruhl dropped back through the field.  nier quickly asserted himself to second and started to run down Horstman.
