ASCS Midwest Ready for Holiday Double in Nebraska

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (June 28, 2010) - The American Sprint Car
Series Midwest Region kicks off the Fourth of July weekend racing
festivities with a pair of events in Cornhusker Territory this Thursday and
Friday.

The Holiday weekend officially gets under way when the ASCS Midwest Regional
forces take to Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, NE, on Thursday
night, before then moving on to Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway
between Lincoln and Omaha on Friday night.

This weekend's events mark Rounds Nine and Ten in pursuit of the ASCS
Midwest crown, with Lucas Oil ASCS National title contender Jack Dover of
Springfield, NE, holding the current edge over Sioux Falls racer Eric Lutz.

Through the opening eight events of the season, only Dover has been able to
post a pair of wins with six other drivers each capturing one victory. Lutz
snared his first series win of the season last Friday at Hartford, SD. to
close to within 151 points of Dover.

Motor Speedway, where Aurora, Nebraska's Ryan Roberts picked off his first
career ASCS win by holding off Shane Stewart in Midwest action on May 28.

April, Shane Stewart broke into I-80 Speedway victory lane on May 27.
