WDRL POINTS BATTLE TO BE DECIDED AT THE PRESTIGIOUS “IOWA GOVERNORS CUP”
DAVENPORT, IA (Sept. 29) - When the WORLD Dirt Racing League pulls in to the
Davenport Speedway this Friday for the 23rd running of the prestigious “Iowa
Governors Cup” Wisconsin driver John Kaanta will have a one point lead over
Iowa driver Chad Simpson.
John Kaanta and Chad Simpson are both excited about the coming weekend and
looking forward to racing for the Championship.
It’s only fitting that the WDRL points Champion be determined at a race with
the stature of the “Iowa Governors Cup”. This is one of the most, if not the
most, prestigious races and title in the state of Iowa. To tie it together
with the WDRL Championship is fantastic said WDRL owner, Jim Wilson. “I have
followed the Governors Cup every year for a long time and have been
impressed with the quality of cars and the different winners of this race
over the years”.
After the entire season, the point’s battle will come to an end as will the
season for the WORLD Dirt Racing League. This Saturday night at the
Davenport Speedway the 60 lap “Iowa Governors Cup” will reward the winner
with a $10,000.00 payday.
Stuart Motorsports is promoting the Iowa Governors Cup and has put together
