USAC Event Opens Powercom Park Season
Beaver Dam,
WI -
One of the most anticipated
open wheel racing events of the season in the state of Wisconsin
kicks off the season at the Raceway at Powercom Park on Saturday May
7. For the second straight season the track will host a USAC
Valvoline National Sprint Car Series, and National Midget Car Series
doubleheader.
"The fact that
only eight National Sprint/Midget doubleheaders will be held this
season throughout the country makes this a must-see event for fans"
commented Rex Melius, track general manager.
Last season the
event was one of four victories captured by Jay Drake on his way to
winning his first Sprint Car Series title. The event which was the
second of 35 events for the series played a key role in Drake's
championship season giving him the lead for the remainder of the
year. Drake finished 74 points ahead of Bud Kaeding for the
championship. Kaeding failed to make the feature lineup for the
Powercom event.
In the midget
feature J.J.Yeley made a brilliant last lap pass of Kevin Doty as
the pair exited the fourth turn to capture the 30-lap feature. Yeley
secured a late minute ride for the event with car owner Karl Warnke.
The feature saw five lead changes among four drivers. Following
Yeley, and Doty were: Davey Ray, Cory Kruseman, and Tony Elliott.
Tony Stewart
leads all USAC Feature winners at the facility with two victories,
while single wins have been registered by: Donnie Beechler, Doty,
Elliott, Drake, and Yeley.
