Wheatland, MO (May 30th, 2007)-Street Rods, Muscle Cars, and Dirt Track Racing highlight events at the Lucas Oil Speedway this Saturday, June 2nd. The first event of June kicks off with The Pomme de Terre Car Club Car Show starting at 8:00am. The grandstand gates for racing action will open at 5:00 this Saturday with Hot Laps scheduled to begin at 6:30 and racing to follow.
The annual Pomme de Terre Car Club Car Show will take center stage from 8:00am until 2:00pm. The show will feature some of the most beautiful Antiques, Classics, Street Rods, Muscle Cars, and Customs to ever visit the Lucas Oil Speedway. The show car entry fee is $15.00 and each show car entrant will automatically be entered into the "Lucas Oil Speedway Night in the VIP Suite". There will also be a 50/50 drawing and door prizes for several lucky winners! Bring your camera, lawn chairs, and sunscreen and spend the day with us viewing the stunning Hot Rods during the day and watching 700 horsepower racecars in the evening.
Classes in action this week at "The Diamond of Dirt Tracks" will be the Miller Lite Late Models, the Pitt's Homes A-Modifieds, The TCI Transmission Factory Stocks, and the Hobby Stocks all running on the semi-banked 3/8th mile clay oval located in picturesque Wheatland, MO.
Defending track champion Kevin Kaiser has taken a slim 5 point lead over the 2-time and most recent winner, Rylan Long in the Miller Lite Late Models. Matt Menzie, Harlen Kennedy and J.D. Hubert round out the Top 5 in the season point's battle with just 40 points separating 1st-5th.
Rex Merritt has opened up a 41 point lead on second place Richard Turner in the Pitt's Homes A-Modifieds due in part to last weekend's clean sweep. Only 66 points however separate the 5th place point's man, Jason Pursley from the top spot with Justin Stoufer and Eric Turner residing in the 3rd and 4th spots respectively.
Veteran Bob Gustin continues to hold the top spot in the TCI Transmission Factory Stock point standings with Urich, Missouri's Troy Reasoner Jr. holding down the second spot. James Flood, Keith Webster, and Aaron Gustin fill the 3rd-5th positions.
Last but certainly not least is quite possibly the most competitive class in action at the speedway this year as Sedalia, Missouri's Mike Schrader holds a very narrow 4 point lead over Chris Williams. The 3rd spot is occupied by Adam Belt, with Don Belt and Nathan Vaughn completing the Top 5.
The Lucas Oil Spring-Bling Bonus Series presented by Sawyer Tire also resumes this weekend for the Factory Stocks and Late Models.
