Fan Information for the Shakopee 100

By: Kevin Ramsell
BURLINGTON, WI (Monday, August 11, 2008) – As the sun sets and the shadows of the roller coasters from nearby Valley Fair cast over Raceway Park, the Touring Stars of the American Speed Association Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment will be preparing for their 10th battle of the 2008 season on the ¼-mile asphalt oval in Shakopee, MN.

Last year’s race saw Dan Fredrickson battle with Adam Royle in the closing laps of the 100-lap event while Nathan Haseleu stretched a point lead over Donny Reuvers en route to becoming the first champion in front of a standing room only crowd.

So far this season, the first nine ASAMT events have seen six different drivers capture a win. Along with that at most of the events, over half of the field finish ahead of where they have started. For example, at the SCAG Power Equipment Dixieland 150 at Wisconsin International Raceway, 14 of the 26 starters finished ahead of where they started with an average of 6.714 places.

Fans attending the event this Sunday night are will see “Certified Super Late Model Excitement� at its finest as the best Midwest Super Late Model drivers will compete on one of the toughest tracks in the series.
