(Bill W) July 10, 2012 – It has been over ten years since the 410 sprint cars have visited the Lee County Speedway, but the wait is over! The Midwest Open Wheel Association blasts into the racy 3/8-mile oval in Donnellson, Iowa, tomorrow night, Wednesday, July 11! The central Illinois-based MOWA series is approaching the halfway point of its second season of operation!
Jerrod Hull enters tomorrow night on a hot streak with two straight wins. Last weekend, he and crew chief, Scott Bonar, picked up victories at the Lincoln Speedway in Lincoln, Illinois Friday, and at MOWA’s first ever visit to the Vermilion County Speedway in Danville, Illinois on Sunday. The defending champion leads the all-time MOWA win list with seven, and has visited Victory Lane in Donnellson with the Sprint Invaders in the past.
Another competitor expected at Donnellson is Jimmy Hurley, who racked up two wins in a row himself earlier this season with tallies at Lincoln and at Quincy Raceways. AJ Bruns is the current point leader. He picked up the season opener in Jacksonville. Other drivers tentatively expected include Jim Moughan Jr., Korey Weyant, Ben Wagoner, Bret Tripplett, Ryan Jamison and Matt Sutton, who recently swept the Sprint Invaders event at Lee County.
Gates open Wednesday night at 5 p.m., with hot laps scheduled for 7 and racing to follow! Admission is just $12, with 5-13 admitted for $5. For more information, visit www.LeeCountySpeedway.com!
