ALTORFER CAT NIGHT THIS FRIDAY AT HAWKEYE DOWNS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

(Cedar Rapids, IA  06/04/07)—The regular racing schedule resumes at ASA-Sanctioned Hawkeye Downs Speedway this Friday night as Altorfer CAT presents seven divisions of racing action.

 

                Altorfer CAT is the “Official Track Maintenance Equipment Supplier” for Hawkeye Downs Speedway.

 

                Miller Time Modifieds, Budweiser Sportsmen, Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars, Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks, Sunline Hornets, IMCA SportMods, and Go-Karts are all on the schedule.

 

                As drivers continue their quest for the Papa Johns Cup/I-Wireless Championships the point races remain very tight.

 

                In Miller Time Modifieds, Tim Plummer’s lead has shrunk to just one point over Arlo Becker.  Rodney Rocarek, winner  of the Modified feature during the Miller 100 is just three points behind Plummer.

 

                Andy Duggan has a three point lead over David McCalla in the Budweiser Sportsmen points chase. Mel Schappert sits in third twelve markers behind Duggan.

 

                The point chart for the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars shows Logan Hale with just a two point edge on Doug Otto and Bob Ahrendsen, who are tied for second. Nest in line, four points behind Hale is Randy Filling.

 

                Gary Pfantz has turned consistent finishes into the points lead in the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks, despite not having a feature win. Phantz sits one point in front of Tim Dains while Rodney Grother and Dennis Klinsky are in third, nine points off the pace.

 

                The Sunline Hornets are being led by Shawn Myers who sits just one point ahead of Brian Beaty and Brad Chandler.  Much like the Hobby Stocks, Myers has earned the points lead without the benefit of a feature win. The Bighouse Motorsports entry is next in line, five points behind Myers.

 

                Finally, two feature wins have propelled Ryan Luedtke into a one point lead over Tony Olson and Arnie Reif in the IMCA SportMods. Jim Buhlman is nine points behind Luedtke.

 

                The Go-Karts which race regularly on select Sundays will again feature a variety of drivers and classes of Karts in an exhibition race.

 

                The action kicks off at 6pm Friday night when Grandstand gates open and practice gets underway. The first green flag waves shortly after 7pm.

 

                Admission prices remain the same as they have been the past few years.  Children (0-11) are $1.00; Students (12-17) are $7.00; Adults (18-61) are $10.00; and Senior Citizens (62+) are admitted for $7.00.
