Southwest Missouri Racing

Wheatland, MO (July 20th, 2010) - This Saturday, July 24th it's "A & G Electric Night at the Races" at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, as the battle for the Rockstar Energy Drink Weekly Championship Series hits the homestretch of the 2010 Racing Season. This will be the first of five consecutive weekends of competition for the TNT Quick Shop Late Models, Pitt's Homes A-Modifieds, and the Carson's Corner Napa Factory Stocks as the top drivers in the region try to solidify their points position in the chase for the coveted Lucas Oil Speedway Track Championship. As an added bonus, Pre-Race Entertainment will be provided by "7 Dollar Stereo" from 5-6 pm on the Midway, plus Face Painting for the kids and a special Junior Fan Club Scavenger Hunt.

Browning, Missouri's Tommy Cordray continues to set the pace in the TNT Quick Shop Late Models but Wheatland, Missouri brothers Andy and Harlen Kennedy have climbed up to second and third place in points respectively with Andy leading Harlen by just 12 points and trailing Cordray by 84 points. A pair of Springfield, Missouri residents occupy the fourth and fifth spots as R.D. Peterson sits in fourth and with Ben Solberg in fifth. Walnut Grove, Missouri's Jeremy Kelley and Jefferson City, Missouri's Chris Cox sit in a tie for the 6th spot with Danny Lorton, Joe Walkenhorst, and Vance Wilson rounding out the Top-10.
