CLARKSVILLE, TN – StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series officials have announced the addition of a July 1 40-lap $2,000-to-win National Touring event at Duck River Speedway in Wheel, TN to its 2006 schedule.
The Duck River event joins the 50-lap $3,000-to-win event at Thunderhill Raceway in Lawrenceburg, TN on July 2, and the $7,500-to-win two-day event at Clarksville StormPay.com Speedway in Clarksville, TN on July 3-4 to its holiday weekend line-up.
Ronnie Johnson of Chattanooga, TN, who is third in the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series National point standings, will return to Duck River Speedway on July 1 after winning the series National event there on May 25. Johnson beat David Gentry of Lewisburg, TN in the main event. Gentry is second in points, and will be looking for another good finish at his home track.
The Thunderhill Raceway event is a continuation of the May 26 StormPay.com DLMS National event that was rained out after 14-laps. The feature race will restart at lap one with fast qualifier Jeff Fields of Aragon, GA on the pole position, and 18-year-old “Young Gun” Jordy Nipper of Gray, GA starting on the outside of the front row.
Fields is fifth in the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series National point standings, and was leading the May 26 Thunderhill race when the rains came. Nipper is a young driver on the move in StormPay.com DLMS National competition, and has just moved up to the tenth spot in the National points chase.
The 24 drivers that have already qualified for the Thunderhill race will be the only drivers eligible to participate in the July 2 event.
The two-day July 3-4 event at Clarksville StormPay.com Speedway will be the second visit for the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series to its home track, and the $7,500 winner’s share will be the largest so far this season. The race will have qualifying and heat races on July 3, and the B-Mains and the 75-lap Feature Race on July 4.
StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series National point leader Shannon Buckingham of Morristown, TN took the win at Clarksville StormPay.com Speedway on May 27, with Gentry finishing in the second spot.
