Dotter, 49, of East Hazel Crest, has been involved in racing as a driver and car builder for 35 years. He built six cars that are competing in the turbo stox division at Illiana Speedway. He is the son of longtime ARCA star Bob Dotter and the brother of former Nationwide and NASCAR truck driver Bobby Dotter.Your passion seems to be car building rather than driving. Why? I’ve always had the passion for working on cars. I’ve never considered myself to be the next Eddie Hoffman or next Frank Gawlinski. Generally, I get more pleasure out of helping other people. Driving myself, I can’t focus on doing that. more from Tony Baranek @ the SouthTown Star...

Loves Park, IL - Defending Rockford Speedway All-Star 100 winner Ryan Carlson leads the list of former winners competing in this Saturday night’s Stanley Steemer All-Star 100. Carlson, the current NASCAR Late Model point leader will once again have the 2007 winner Eddie Hoffman to contend with, Carlson held off Hoffman in last season’s running by mere inches at the Checkered Flag. Minnesota transplant Trent Snyder (2008) has also filed his entry with Jeg’s CRA All-Stars Tour officials for the event. One entry that has the short track racing community buzzing is that of 1989 victor Rich Bickle. Bickle is known for his aggressive driving style that matches up to the tough Rockford Speedway quarter mile well and allowed the former National Short Track Champion to catapult his career into the upper levels of NASCAR.

7/17...Hoffman Comes Back to Front for the Win.
Starting on the pole at his home track Eddie Hoffman would seemed to be have been setup to lead flag to flag. However first Brandon Watson and then others had a different idea as Hoffman was shuttled back as far as four place before moving to the front and finally taking his first lead on the 67th lap. After Watson got out front, Blake Brown pulled up into second and raced with him side by side for over 10 laps as neither could make a break away, Brown led lap 8 by inches then Watson took it back by inches on lap 9. Brown then took the lead on the 17th lap and held it until lap 66 when Hoffman moved past him. Brown and Hoffman raced for many laps with Brown on the outside and Hoffman on the inside, in a race where side by side action was the norm and not the exception. Brown finished second, Brent Downey third, Josh Nelms fourth and Tracy Schuler fifth coming from the last starting position.
