Lanigan Strong Early in Indiana Icebreaker; Runs into Trouble Late
(March 17, 2019) Darrell Lanigan and the #29 DLR team were back in Super Late Model competition on Saturday night, March 16 at the legendary Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Indiana. The annual running of the 'Indiana Icebreaker' was on tap at the 1/4-mile fairgrounds facility and 34 entrants signed into the pit area to vie for the lucrative $12,000 winner's check. Darrell started his evening by posting the third fastest lap in Group A during Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series qualifying before grabbing the fourth and final transfer spot through his heat race.

After rolling off from the inside of the seventh row in the 50-lap headliner, Darrell had blasted all the way up to sixth in the running order and was in the eighth spot with only two laps remaining. Unfortunately, the Union, Kentucky star was caught up in an incident and brought out the caution flag, which dropped him to a disappointing twenty-first place showing.
