O'Reilly Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar
Series Invades Twin Cities & Brownstown June 22nd & 23rd |
Lexington, KY (06/18/2007) - After jamming at
Bluegrass Speedway for the 6th Annual June Jam 30, the O'Reilly
NARA Battle of the Bluegrass presented by Arizona Sport Shirts
makes its second visit of the 2007 Season to the Hoosier state
for a weekend of nonstop action with events at Twin Cities
Raceway Park and Brownstown Speedway.
This past April, which was the most recent visit to the two
Indiana speed plants, a couple of racing veterans take home the
paychecks. National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame member Rick
Aukland picked up his first ever O'Reilly NARA Battle of the
Bluegrass series win taking home the gold at North Vernon,
Indiana's Twin Cities Raceway Park. While Martinsville, IN's Don
O'Neal took the Saturday night prize money at Brownstown
Speedway back in April, as he took the checkered flag for his
first win of the 2007 O'Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass
season.
As the Series sweeps into Indiana for its 13th and 14th stops of
the 2007 tour, the nation's most competitive regional dirt
racing Series hopes to crown two new Series winners. With
Scottsburg, IN's Mike Jewell picking up the most recent win at
Bluegrass Speedway, he became the 11th different A-main winner
of 2007. Still, Martinsville, IN's Don O'Neal is the only 2007
contender to find himself in victory lane more than once this
season.
The Series will roll into both facilities with the traditional
O'Reilly Battle of the Bluegrass format on the agenda, with
Racing Optics Time Trials, Mason Racin'/Arizona Sport Shirts
Heats, Design 500 B-Mains, and the O'Reilly Auto Parts A-main
event.
The purse for both events will be: 1. $3,000, 2. 1500, 3. 1000,
4. 800, 5. 750, 6. 700, 7. 650, 8. 600, 9. 550, 10. 500, 11.
450, 12. 400, 13. 350, 14. 350, 15. 325, 16. 325, 17. 300, 18.
300, 19. 300, 20. 300, 21. 300, 22. 300, 23. 250 and 24. 250.
Winfield, Tennessee's Mike Marlar continues to lead the points
battle with less than 60 points over Stanford, KY's Victor Lee.
With a strong finish at Bluegrass Speedway, Lee widened the gap
over third place Jerry Rice to 172 strikes. Rookie of the Year
points leader Jason Keltner remains in fourth spot as Tyrel Todd
inches closer to round out the top five. David Webb retains his
sixth position by a small four turns over Campbellsville, KY's
Tim Tungate. Michael Chilton of Salvisa, KY moves into the
number eight spot as Bobby Wolter, Jr. slides into the top ten
finding himself in ninth. Rounding out the top ten in points is
Isom, KY's Chris Combs.
