Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (July 20, 2010) – With Sioux Falls, South Dakota’s Eric Lutz newly perched atop the American Sprint Car Series Midwest point charts, the series is set for another pair of events this week.
The seventh consecutive week of racing action for the ASCS Midwest Region includes a $2,000-to-win Wednesday night stop at Denison, Iowa’s Crawford County Speedway and then a Friday night outing atop Hartford, South Dakota’s I-90 Speedway.
Wednesday’s card at the Crawford County Fair marks the series only 2010 stop in Denison, with Friday’s event in South Dakota the final ASCS Midwest stop of the season at I-90.
Lutz, who has topped the two most recent stand-along ASCS Midwest Regional events at I-90 Speedway including one on June 25, took over the top spot in the ASCS Midwest title chase this past weekend.
Lutz holds the first position ahead of Springfield, Nebraska’s Jack Dover, with Nebraska racers Doug Lovegrove (Waverly), Jason Danley (Lincoln) and Tyler Drueke (Eagle) rounding out the current top five in points.
Iowa’s Bronson Maeschen, who topped last Friday night’s ASCS Midwest card at Cameron, MO, was victorious in last year’s ASCS Midwest event at Crawford County Speedway.
