INDIANA LATE MODEL SERIES INVADES BLOOMINGTON SPEEDWAY
By: Chris Nunn
BLOOMINGTON, IN- MAY 10- Late Model fans will have their night at the Bloomington Speedway this Friday night, as the newly formed "Indiana Late Model Series" rolls into town. This will mark the first ever visit to Bloomington Speedway for the series, and will give the fans a chance to see what the Crate Late Models are all about. Using GM Performance Crate Engines with either a 602 or a 604hp powerplant, the Late Models use regular Late Model bodies just like their Super Late Model counterparts. This, in turn, makes racing more affordable and more competitive. The competitiveness of the series shows with three different winners in the first three races of the season. Bloomington's own Shannon Reed picked up the most recent win on the tour at Brownstown Speedway on May 2nd. The race will pay $600 to win and $100 to start. Steve Godsey leads the series points standings over Tim Rivers and Chip Stitsworth.
With only ten points seperating the top six drivers in the O'Neal Wood Products UMP Modified division, things will heat up this Friday as they return to action after a two week layoff. John Demoss of Bloomington, IN currently holds the points lead by two points over Josh Eads, four points over Kent Robinson, five points over Clint Demoss, and six points ahead of Matt Bex. In the Tire and Wheel Center UMP Super Stocks, Troy Clark currently is the only winner in the division, taking both victories on the season. Clark maintains a seven point advantage over Clayton Perry and an eight point lead over Brad Cummings in third going into Friday night's racing action.
Pit Gates open at 4:30 p.m., Grandstands 5:30 p.m., Hot Laps 6:30 p.m., Racing at 7:30 p.m. Kids 12 & Under FREE general admission with paid adult, General Admission $12, Pit Admission $25.
