Lebanon,Mo.-The high-banks of the Lebanon I-44 Speedway will see if the parity that has been established early this season will continue as the gates open at 5PM with hotlaps at 7 and the first race at 7:30 sharp Sat.Night.

Going into this weekend's action,The LateModels have found 3 different feature winners in 3 races so far as Jason Bodenhamer,Justin Wells,and Brad Looney have all visited the O'Reilly Winners Circle.Heading into this weekend,Rookie LateModel driver Brandon Maggard will be heading up the point standings,and it looks as if all 3 previous winners will be racing elsewhere this Sat Night.That would mean the 4th different winner to take the checkered flag will pocket 1,000.

The same look is in the Modified class as defending champion Erik Maggard,James Hartman,and last week Eric Lampe have all taken the checkered flag early this season. Second year driver Eric Hudson will be heading-up the point pack this weekend as he holds a slim lead over Hartman.Hudson has yet to take the feature win,but consistant finishes has put him in a good position.

The only class without parity has been in the SuperStock Class as Jerome's Larry Prewitt has taken all 3 features and is holding on strong as the point leader as the rest of the field is starting to get the bugs worked out.

The FactoryStocks are coming in strong numbers as Tim Brown,Bobby Williams,and Burl Woods have claimed feature wins,but 14 year old Micheal Maggard heads the point standing up with consistant finishes in the top 5 without a win yet.Defending champion Quintin Day captured last weeks B feature and is quietly climbing up the standings.

The Bombers also have had 3 different winners as David Hendrix,Dusty Rhoades,and current point leader KC Prettyman have captured feature wins.

This week the MidWest Limited Sprints will be back into action as Clint Todd and Joe Todd have taken the first 2 features.
