Track Schedules

COLUMBUS JUNCTION, IA (August 25) - Join the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders on Sunday, August 31 for more of the side-by-side, high-speed, dirt-slingin¹ action you¹ve come to expect from the Invaders! Under the promotion of Checkered Flag Promotions (Jeff and Amy Laue), the Sprint Invaders will tackle the 4/10 mile CJ Raceway in Columbus Junction, Iowa for the first time in 2008. The event will kick off six events covering five straight weekends of racing for the Sprint Invaders. The Louisa County Fairgrounds were underwater in June, but with lots of hard work by volunteers and perseverance by everyone, it¹s back in action, so don¹t miss this one!

Sunday¹s show marks the eighth visit for the Ideal Ready Sprint Invaders over the years. In 2007, West Burlington, Iowa¹s Nick Eastin was able to win his first career feature with the series, as he topped Kaley Gharst and Larry Pinegar II. Eastin, who had recently put his #22x team together, passed pole-sitter Russ Hall on the second lap, and never looked back in the May event.

In 2008, it¹s the ³Lil¹ Dude² Bobby Mincer, who has been on a roll. On August 16, he won his second Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders of the season by topping all challengers in the first of Twin Features at the 34 Raceway near West Burlington, Iowa (Mike Houseman Jr. of Des Moines won the second).
The Burlington native has climbed to the top of the standings, by way of his two wins, and three hard-charger efforts.

Just eleven points behind Mincer, is West Burlington¹s John Schulz, who also has two wins to his credit this year. Veteran Matt Rogerson, who won the season opener at 34 Raceway, is only three points behind Schulz. ³The Professor² Josh Schneiderman, who just turned 21 years old and ³Flyin¹² Ryan Jamison from Mediapolis are within striking range as well, and round out the top five in the standings.

The rookies with the series are running well. ³A-MAC² Austin McCarl is just
15 years old, but showed the prowess of a veteran, finishing a career best third at 34. He is threatening the top ten contenders in the point race.
³The Flying Farmer² Andy Huston is also showing steady progress after moving up from the mini-sprint ranks.

The CJ Raceway will be a good proving ground for all the Sprint Invaders competitors and whoever else may choose to venture to the high-speed oval!
Join us for all the action, and be sure to visit with your favorite drivers afterwards. You¹re always

Pit gates open at 4:00 and Grandstands open at 5:30. Hot laps are scheduled for 6:30 with racing to follow. Admission is $12 for adults in the stands, and $25 for a pit pass.

Brian Hetrick Passes

The Sprint Invaders would like to extend their heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the family of Brian Hetrick on his untimely passing.
