Sprint Invaders Join Open Wheel Tripleheader Friday in
Jacksonville!
(Bill W) May 11, 2009 – The Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders will try it
again at the Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville, Illinois this Friday
night, May 15! This will mark the tenth visit to the banked ¼ mile in the
eight year history of the Sprint Invaders. A date in early April was
weathered out. Also on the card, are the popular POWRi Midgets and POWRi
600cc Micro-Sprint series making for an “open wheel only” tripleheader!
The Sprint Invaders opened their season at the 34 Raceway four weeks ago.
2007 series champion Kaley Gharst and car owner Randy Plath emerged
victorious, and signaled that they will be a team to contend with all summer
long. “Flyin’” Ryan Jamison who finished second, Matt Rogerson, who finished
third and defending series champion, John Schulz round out the top four in
the standings. Jimmy Davies and Rookie of the Year candidate, Ben Wagoner,
are tied for fifth heading into Jacksonville.
Other drivers expected to appear include Bobby Mincer, Josh Schneiderman,
Matt Sutton, Justin Parrish, 2008 “Most Improved” driver, Matt Harms, 2008
Rookie of the Year, Andy Huston, Donnie Steward and many more!
All-time Feature Wins leader, Jerrod Hull (12), is expected to be a favorite
on Friday. In nine Sprint Invaders feature events at Jacksonville, only Hull
has been able to repeat as a winner. Other winners at the fairgrounds
facility have included Joey Montgomery, Terry McCarl, Tim Montgomery, Jesse
Giannetto, Robbie Standridge, Gharst and Schneiderman, who took the “Herb
Barlow Memorial” last October.
Pit gates open at 4:00, with the grandstand opening at 5:00. Tickets are $20
for adults, and $18 for Seniors. College students with a valid student
pictured ID will be admitted for $2, and young people 16 and under are free!
Camping is available on a first come, first serve basis in front of the
