BELLINGHAM, MA – BELLINGHAM, MA – Last Saturday, June 10, was an exciting day for DDR Motorsports as they were thrilled to have competed with Derek Robbie as he took the wheel of the Mike and Jeff Horn-owned A1 Midget for the 2023 season at the New London Waterford Speedbowl. Derek brings a wealth of experience and passion to the team. He is excited to add another class of racing vehicle to his resume.

Joining Derek as co-owner of DDR Motorsports is his father, Doug Robbie, who, beside Derek, prepared the car for its first race of the season. Their shared love for racing has fueled their commitment to building a competitive team that strives for excellence both on and off the track.

The team encountered a few minor issues during practice in his first NEMA race, held recently at the New London Waterford Speedbowl in Waterford, CT. However, our team quickly overcame these challenges, demonstrating their determination and resilience. Derek’s skills shone brightly during the heat race, where he achieved an impressive third-place finish, marking his first competitive outing in the A1 Midget.

The 25-lap feature race presented a valuable learning opportunity for Derek as he completed all the laps and secured a commendable 8th-place finish. Every lap and every race provide him with valuable insights, which will be utilized to further improve the team’s performance in the upcoming events.

The team would like to express our appreciation to Mike and Jeff Horn of A1 Automotive, the proud owners of the A1 Midget. Their support and trust in our team has been invaluable, and we are grateful for their partnership.

Furthermore, we would also like to extend our gratitude to Jon Andruk at Circle Performance for powering the midget and ensuring it performs at its best. Their expertise and dedication have been instrumental in our success.

We are thrilled to announce that our next NEMA race will take place on June 24 at Wiscasset Speedway in Wiscasset, Maine. We invite all our fans and supporters to join us as we continue our journey in pursuit of success and podium finishes.

DDR Motorsports would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors, NHOU Protective Coatings, Miranda General Contracting, Roadactive Suspension, and Ro-Day Industries  and fans for their unwavering support. Your encouragement and belief in our team drive us to push our limits and achieve greatness. We look forward to continuing this incredible journey together.
