Two $4,000 to Win 410
Shows This Weekend in Illinois/Iowa!
(Bill W) September 21, 2011 – A
great weekend is in store for sprint car fans in the Midwest! Two shows
featuring $4,000 to win main events are scheduled for Friday and
Saturday, and it looks like the weatherman will be cooperating!
A stout field of cars is expected
both Friday for Jacksonville Speedway’s “Shaheen’s Blast from the Past”,
and for Saturday’s Monster Energy™ Sprint Car Series event at the 34
Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. Drivers such as Jerrod Hull, Jimmy
Hurley, Robbie Standridge, Terry McCarl, Austin McCarl, Danny Smith,
Josh Schneiderman, Dustin Selvage and many more have expressed their
intentions in competing in one or both of this weekend’s shows.
Last Friday, JC Bland was the winner
of the $2,500 Herb Barlow Memorial at Jacksonville, while Hull took the
Tom Knowles Memorial on Saturday night at the Spoon River Speedway near
Canton, Illinois. This Friday’s “Shaheen’s Blast from the Past” at
Jacksonville is expected to draw a healthy number of competitors
including Smith and Terry McCarl, who will give a formidable challenge
to the “regulars” at Jacksonville. Both have already won in MOWA
competition at the banked ¼-mile oval this season.
The 34 Raceway in West Burlington
will host the Monster Energy™ series for the second time this season.
They also hosted the opener, which drew 39 cars and saw Danny Lasoski
cop the feature event. A large car count is expected for Saturday,
including a handful of the Knoxville regulars to challenge the series’
regulars.
Hull leads Hurley and Robbie
Standridge in the Monster Energy™ Sprint Car Series point race entering
Saturday night. Jim Moughan Jr. is fourth, followed by Korey Weyant.
Chris Urish, AJ Bruns, Jeremy Standridge, Joey Moughan and Bret
Tripplett round out the top ten.
At Jacksonville on Friday,
grandstands open at 5 p.m., with hot laps scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and
racing to follow. Tickets are $20 for adults. For more information,
