Sarver, PA (May 8, 2007) With three nights of Budweiser Point Fund racing in the books the 2007 Budweiser Point Standings are starting to take shape.
In the Commercial Truck & Trailer Sprints, “The Apollo Rocket” Ed Lynch Jr. has an eight-point edge over Reigning Track Champion “Cool” Kevin Schaeffer. Lynch has two feature wins, two heat wins, and a third place finish in the only feature he didn’t win. Schaeffer has one win and a second place finish in feature events, along with two heat race wins. Dan Shetler, with two Top Fives and a seventh place finish is third. Gary Rankin and Carl Bowser round out the Top Five.
Alex Ferree’s two wins and a second place finish in three points races has him solidly in the Budweiser points lead in the Friedman’s Freshmarkets Late Model division. With two Top Fives and two heat race wins, Mike Blose sits second, a distant 24 points behind Ferree. Gary Lyle is third, Dutch Davies is fourth, and newcomer Jared Hawkins sits fifth.
The top of the point standings both in the Ferrante Motor Cars Modifieds and Advance Auto Parts Pure Stocks reflect the competitive action on the track in both divisions.
Kevin Bolland leads the Ferrante Motor Cars Modifieds points by just two markers over Del Rougeux Jr. Bolland has a second and two fourth place finishes in feature events and two heat race wins. Rougeux has finished third, fourth, and second so far this season. Dave Murdick, who currently sits third, has a second and third place finish to his credit in feature events, and one heat race win. Feature winners Brian Swartzlander and Jeremiah Shingledecker, (2 wins), round out the Top Five.
The Budweiser points are just as close in the Advance Auto Parts Pure Stocks, where Mike Pegher, Jr. is in the lead. Pegher has won one feature, a second and a third and has not lost a heat race all year. Close behind in second place is Joe Kelley with a win and a second place finish. This past week’s feature winner Bob Egley is third. Egley also has two other Top Fives and a heat race win. Terry Young with two Top Fives and two heat race wins is fourth. Greg Beech and Paul Schreckengost are tied for fifth place.
All four “Fab Four” Divisions will be back in action this Friday May 11 as the Budweiser Points Fund rolls on. Then next Tuesday, May 15 the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars invade the Action Track for the first time in the 2007 season. Can Budweiser Points leader Ed Lynch Jr. get his second career World of Outlaws win at his home track? Be there to find out! Call the track office (724) 353-1511 to reserve your tickets now. Or purchase them at the main ticket windows after 8:30 p.m. this Friday Night at the speedway. Either way, you won’t want to miss the return of “King” Steve Kinser, “The Dude” Danny Lasoski, as well as 2006 Outlaws Champion Donny Schatz, or current Outlaw points leader Joey Saldana
