Greenwood, NE (May 21, 2008) - Some of the areas top outlaw late model
drivers will hit the dirt at I-80 Speedway for the 7th Annual Alphabet Soup
Race presented by Your Area Dodge Dealers on Sunday, May 25 in a 50
lap-$5,000 to win Late Model main event. The 50 lap race will showcase
drivers from four traveling late model series: World Dirt Racing League
(WDRL), Midwest Late Model Racing Association (MLRA), National Championship
Racing Association (NCRA), Topless Outlaw Racing Association (TORA) and the
Spec Late Model Racing Series (SLMR). Race fans will get a chance to win
NASCAR Sprint Cup Garage Passes from Dodge for the September 28 race at
Kansas Speedway.
Joining these four top late model series as support divisions for the annual
Memorial Day race will be the IMCA Great Clips Modifieds, IMCA Crate Models
and Ty's Outdoor Power Equipment Hobby Stocks.
"We expect the best of the best to be here on that Sunday with the return of
four of the top sanctioning bodies in late model racing," said track
promoter Ed Kosiski. "The WDRL, MLRA, NCRA and TORA are all well known for
their exciting racing action and we expect to see a great show with them all
combined in one big race."
Last year's exciting finish for the late model race saw Al Purkey pass
Jeremy Payne on the bottom coming out of turn four to take the checkered
flag by a car length. Race fans also saw Terry Phillips and Kelly Boen
tangle on the track, with Boen being spun out by Phillips causing him to be
hit by another driver, and knocking him out of the race. As the race was red
flagged, Boen leaped from his car and ran down the track after Phillips.
Track officials held back Boen, as Phillips drove to the flag stand where he
was thrown out of the race. Boen then made his way to the front straightaway
where he received cheers from the entire grandstands.
