Newsmakers of the Week // Anthony Perrego & Tyler Dippel

AREA AUTO RACING NEWS NEWSMAKER OF THE WEEK FOR MARCH 15, 2016

Youthful race car drivers Anthony Perrego and Tyler Dippel demonstrated this past weekend at two race tracks a thousand miles apart that the overused term ‘Young Guns’ doesn’t apply to them.

‘Top Guns’ is more appropriate.

Perrego put a hurtin’ on the Dirt Modified field at the Short Track Super Series event at Georgetown (DE) Speedway Saturday night. The next afternoon, another Dirt Track Mod man, Tyler Dippel, shocked the NASCAR world by winning the K&N East race at Mobile (AL) Speedway in just his second Series start.

In both of their wakes were combinations of veteran drivers and youths like them, each beaten by Top Guns.
Newsmakers both, these headlines are likely to be the first of many for each.
