WHEATLAND, MO (September 9th, 2014) – With only two points events remaining in 2014, join the National Wildlife Turkey Federation “Race to Save the Hunt” at Lucas Oil Speedway on September 13th for the second to last Budweiser Weekly Racing Series event of the season.
The NWTF is dedicated to the conservation of wild turkey and preservation of our hunting heritage. For more info, please visit www.NWTF.org.
The ALPS Food Stores ULMA Late Models, the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds, the Carson’s Corner Napa Factory Stocks, and the Tri-Lakes RV USRA B-Mods will all be in action.
The ALPS Food Store ULMA Late Models will be the evening’s featured class, as the top Late Model drivers in the region hit the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks” for a special 25 Lap, $1,000 to win Main Event courtesy of Rains Ice.
The ALPS Food Store ULMA Late Model championship chase is one for the ages as Jake Williams holds a miniscule 2-point lead over J.D. Hubert with only two races remaining. Brian Schutt has made great strides this year driving Daryl Capps’ GRT as the ULMA rookie sits in third, only 10 points behind the leader. Dwight Niehoff and Ethan Young round out the top-5.
In the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds, Jeff Cutshaw has taken control of the points standings as the veteran driver sits 143 points ahead of Jason Pursley. Season long points leader Tim Setzer has slipped to third after missing several nights late in the season for personal reasons. Nathan Vaughn has moved up to the fourth spot while Stephen Muilenburg occupies the fifth spot, just 18 points out of fourth.
In the Carson’s Corner Napa Factory Stocks, David Hendrix has a fairly insurmountable 98 point lead but Kenny Carroll in second place is mathematically still in the running going into this weekend. Warrensburg, Missouri’s Marc Carter holds down the third spot while a pair of Wheatland drivers, Chip Shaddox and Randy Gilmore sit in fourth and fifth respectively.
Kris Jackson looks to go back to back to back in the Tri-Lakes RV USRA B-Mods as the Lebanon, Missouri driver has a 70 point lead over Wheatland’s Mike Striegel. Fort Scott, Kansas’ youngster Andy Bryant has challenged all season as he sits in the third position with two races remaining. Finally, Stephen Muilenburg and Dustin Campbell ride in fourth and fifth.
