Invaders!

Racing starts in Tipton at 7 p.m., with an autograph session with series’
regulars slated for 5 p.m.
The Sprint Invaders visit the track holding the most history with the
series, the Lee County Speedway in Donnellson on Friday. This will mark the
29th appearance at the entertaining 3/8 mile oval for the Invaders. The
leading feature winners over the years include those who have won on three
occasions: Terry McCarl, Jeff Mitrisin, Matt Sutton, “Showtime” Kaley Gharst
and John Schulz.
Racing gets underway in Donnellson at 7 p.m. Tickets are just $12 for
