ASCS Midwest vs. Warrior Rubber Match
Friday at U.S. 36!
BY: Lonnie Wheatley
CAMERON, MO (August 22, 2011) – The Speedway Motors ASCS Midwest and Warrior
Regions have squared off twice already this season top the ultra-fast high
banks of Cameron, Missouri’s U.S. 36 Raceway.
And, in those two
previous events, a Midwest representative won the first time while a Warrior
shoe topped the second clash.
This Friday night
will be the rubber match, as the ASCS Midwest and Warrior Regions clash for
a third and final time of the year at U.S. 36 Raceway.
Leading their
respective Regions into the event are Jack Dover (Midwest) and Brad Loyet
(Warrior), both of whom have tasted past ASCS glory at U.S. 36. Dover, the
21-year-old from Springfield, NE, has won twice at U.S. 36, including most
recently in June of 2010, while 23-year-old Loyet of Sunset Hills, MO, won
the recent clash event at U.S. 36 on July 15.
While Loyet won the
most recent Midwest vs. Warrior card, Midwest rep Wayne Johnson topped the
first 2011 card on June 17
After ranking
fourth with the premier Lucas Oil ASCS National series in 2010, Dover is
closing in on a second ASCS Midwest championship with a healthy lead over
Bryan Gossel, Lee Grosz, Jordan Boston and Wayne Johnson entering Friday’s
action.
Loyet, a rookie in
the Sprint Car ranks after collecting several Midget titles, holds a
111-point edge over four-time champion Randy Martin in the Warrior title
chase with Kyle Bell, Jonathan Cornell and Mark Shirshekan also among the
top five.
Friday's racing
action atop the high-banked, 3/8-mile U.S. 36 Raceway clay oval is set to
fire off at 8:00 p.m.
