County Raceway is preparing for one of the most anticipated nights
on the 2008 schedule as the fledgling Independent Racing Series
(IRS) will pay a visit to the 1/3rd mile speed plant. The 3rd annual Dave Lundgren Memorial will be on tap, Friday,
May 16 with a cool $5000 first place prize on the line. Also on tap
will be a $750 to win United Emod Series event for the UEMS Emods,
plus a regular show for the street stocks and mini stocks as Andrews
Auto Salvage, Close Racing Supply, Close Lumber and VIP Gas bring
you the night of action!
The IRS series is in its second full season and already the 2008
schedule is full of dates as the new series will make a early visit
to MCR. Rob Blair of Titusville, PA, won the season opening IRS
event and also won the last super late model event at MCR will lead
the IRS contingent into MCR. West Virginia drivers, Tim Dohm and
Mike Balzano are expected. Duane Chamberlain of Richmond, Indiana
will be heading east to MCR. Fans can expect to see regional stars,
Dave Hess Jr., Mike Knight and past MCR late model stars, Bob Close,
Todd Andrews, David Scott, Boom Briggs, Dutch and Ron Davies all on
hand to defend their home turf in the 50 lap event in memory of
former late model track champion, Dave Lundgren.
The United Emod Series will be making their debut at MCR also on the
same night. The UEMS inaugural event featured twenty-eight cars from
three states on hand in early April. With local racing now underway,
this event should draw a quality field of entries. Randy Hall of
Olean, NY leads the UEMS series with his win at Mercer. He no doubt
will have to fend off the challenges of Dave Hess Jr, Ohio driver,
Jack Young, Shawn Shingledecker, Russ Dunn, Al Brewer and defending
MCR champion, Rich Michael. The UEMS Emods will go 25 laps with $750
on the line.
The NE Micro and Graphic Street Stocks and the Hallock Enterprises –
Amsoil Mini Stocks will also be on the Andrews Auto Salvage, Close
Racing Supply, Close Lumber, VIP Dave Lundgren Memorial IRS night!
