JACKSONVILLE, IL (May 12) - When the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders take to the Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville, Illinois this Friday night,May 16, it will be interesting to see who graces victory lane. In seven career series feature events at the banked ¼ mile oval, there have been seven different winners! Will they make it eight, or will we have our first repeat winner at MCS?

The Sprint Invaders feature win list at the popular facility is composed of an impressive bunch. A veteran presence composes the winners' list.

Joey and Tim Montgomery, Terry McCarl, Jesse Giannetto, Jerrod Hull, Robbie Standridge and Kaley Gharst have all enjoyed a victory with the Sprint Invaders at MCS. Who will step up on Friday night? If the series opener at 34 Raceway was any indication, it's going to be a wild season!

Matt Rogerson, who won the opener at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa and John Schulz, who battled the leader the distance and finished second, share the series' points lead at 221 heading into Jacksonville.

They are followed closely by Korey Weyant, who will have a short tow from his home in Springfield and 2004 Invaders champ, Bobby Mincer. Others expected to compete include 2007 Sprint Invaders Rookie of the Year, Jordan Goldesberry, Jacksonville master, Jerrod Hull, Matt Sutton, "Flyin'" Ryan Jamison and many more!
