(Fairbury, Illinois) This past weekend saw Steidinger and crew head south. South to Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway in Calvert City, Kentucky for the annual '99' event sanctioned by Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series. A two day show was cut short my one day as mother nature took the checkered flag. Saturday night saw a full show of racing action with late model qualifying, heat races, consolation races, and the A-Main event. Wes finished 6th in the 2nd heat race behind Darren Miller, Kevin Cole, Terry Casey and Don O'Neal they took only the top 4. This gave him a place in the first consolation event. Wes picked up the win over Jeff Walston, John Mason, Jason Feger and Todd Hall placing him in the A-Main. With a starting position near the rear of the pack in the A- Main event, Wes took his J1 machine to finish in 8th place behind Brady Smith, Billy Drake, Darren Miller, Steve Casebolt, Earl Pearson Jr., Terry English and Matt Miller.
Friday May 9th & 10th local fans will once again be able to see Wes pilot the J1. The 9th Wes and crew will be heading to Farmer City Raceway for a regular UMP racing event.
