POINT BATTLES AND TEMPERATURES HEATING UP HEADING INTO THIS WEEK

( Cedar Rapids, IA 05/23/06)-One thing is clear after the third week of
competition at Hawkeye Downs Speedway. No one driver in any division is a clear
favorite to win their respective division in any of the six classes doing
battle at the historic fairgrounds racing facility.

Only one division, the Barron Motor Supply Hobby Stocks, has recorded a
repeat winner. Tim Dains won the first two features of the season and then
finished second to Terry Shaffar on Friday night, May 19.

This Friday night all six divisions of the Papa Johns Cup/ I-Wireless
Championships and the Full Throttle Energy Drink Stars of Tomorrow will be in
action once again. The evening of racing is presented by All Seasons Equipment.

Looking at the point battles, Scott Wennermark holds a slim two-point
lead over Jeff King and Kyle Hinrichs in the Performance Concepts Late Models.

Despite not winning a feature yet, Andy Duggan has turned consistent
performances into the points lead. Duggan holds a two-point margin over Brian
Franks. Dave McCalla is nine points behind the leader.

Tim Plummer has forged a marrow lead in the Miller Time Modifieds,
holding an 8 point lead over Griffin McGrath. Jim Hanson is within easy
striking distance 10 points behind the leader.

In the quarter-mile divisions, Brad Dvorak has a two-point cushion over
Logan Hale in the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Car division. Randy Filling
and Bob Ahrendsen are tied, just three points back.

The Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stock division shows Tim Dains with
two points on Terry Shaffar. Rodney Grother is just four points behind Dains.

Finally, in the Sunline Hornets, Nathan Ballard holds a six-point edge
over Creston Williams. Derrick Beadle is a somewhat distant third.
