MATHER TAKES TWO AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
by Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 25) - Wednesday's USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series action at the Southern
Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, was sponsored by Eric
Palmer for the third straight year as the State
Representative continued his support of local auto racing.

Three out of the four features went the total length, but
the final feature of the night was cut short as heavy rain
made the racing surface very slick.

Colt Mather of Webster took the win in both the USRA Karl
Chevrolet Stock Car and MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds main
events.

The Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mod feature went to
Oskaloosa driver Brian Edel, who scored his third win of
the 2008 season with his GM Performance Parts crate
engine.

The USRA Hobby Stock feature went to Don Nunnikhoven of
Kellogg after rain started falling at 9:50 p.m., forcing
the officials to call the racing action after just six
laps were completed.

UP NEXT:

It's gonna be a great Fourth of July holiday next week,
and one Great American tradition deserves another.

On Wednesday, July 2, the Southern Iowa Speedway in
Oskaloosa, Iowa, will host the 13th Annual MUSCO Lighting
Great American Stock Car Shootout. The prestigious event,
which attracts America's most talented Stock Car and Hobby
Stock drivers in the business, will feature a $1,000 top
prize in the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car division's main
event and $400 to the winner of the USRA Hobby Stock
feature on the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster.

Then on Thursday, July 3, the action continues at the
Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, for the 5th Annual
Kabrick Distributing Great American Stock Car Challenge.
Stock Car drivers will have a chance to compete for a
$1,500 winner's share of the purse at Cresco while Hobby
Stock drivers will be battling for $700.

Both events are presented by Plain Motorsports of Webster
City, Iowa, and both events will award track and national
points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series. However, drivers do not need a USRA license to
compete in this annual blockbuster.

Just in case that wasn't enough, the high-powered USRA
Modifieds will be racing for $1,000 to win each night
while the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods will compete for $400
and $700 to win, respectively. Outlaw Hobbys will also
join the card at Cresco Thursday and race for $300 to win.

Pit gates open at 4 p.m. both days and grandstand gates
open for general admission seating at 5:30. Hot laps are
slated for 7 and the mud starts flying at 7:30 p.m.

At each show, adult grandstands tickets are $15, kids ages
6-12 are just $5 and children 5 & under are admitted FREE.
Pit passes are $25.
