Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders Title Up For Grabs in Weekend Doubleheader!
(Bill W) Entering the last weekend of the race season, the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders have yet to decide a champion! Just six points separate point leader John Schulz from Bobby Mincer. Josh Schneiderman lurks in third, just 24 points out of the lead, and Matt Rogerson is not far behind him. The "Herb Barlow Memorial" at the Morgan County Fairgrounds in Jacksonville, Illinois this Friday, October 3, and the Season Finale at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa on Saturday, October 4, will both pay $1,500 to the winner, and decide everything!
The Sprint Invaders will be racing on common ground. This will be their ninth visit to Jacksonville in series' history. Last May, Jerrod Hull became the first repeat series' winner at the tight ¼ mile, and he is expected to be there to defend his turf. 34 Raceway will be holding its 18th Sprint Invaders event. Winners this year have included Rogerson, Schulz, Mincer and Mike Houseman Jr. Rogerson leads all feature winners at West Burlington with five Sprint Invaders wins at the banked 3/8 mile oval. Several visitors are expected to throw their hat in the ring this weekend as well.
Just one point separates "Flyin'" Ryan Jamison from Korey Weyant in the battle for fifth, while Matt Harms, Jimmy Davies, Jordan Goldesberry and Dan Avery round out the top ten. The battle for Rookie of the Year is also coming down to the wire, as "A-MAC" Austin McCarl and "The Flying Farmer" Andy Huston are only 23 points apart! Last weekend, the 2007 Sprint Invaders Rookie of the Year, Jordan Goldesberry, won his first ever sprint car feature, capturing the prestigious 24th Annual Tom Knowles Memorial at the Spoon River Speedway near Canton, Illinois!
Racing at the Morgan County Speedway will get underway Friday with hot laps at 6:00 with racing to follow! Pits will open at 4 p.m. and grandstands at 5 p.m. Grandstand seating is $20 for adults, with seniors $18 and children 6-12 $5. Children 5 and under are free!
The racing action will kick off at the 34 Raceway Saturday at 7 p.m.! Grandstand seating is $15 for adults, with children and seniors $13! Join us afterwards for a FREE pit party to celebrate another successful season! We'll see you this weekend!
