Fans can expect to see the MCR faithful of Tim Peterson, Travis Asel, Billy Peterson, John Woodward jr., defending track champion, Rich Michael on hand as well. Other notable entries should be John Lacki, Jack Young of Thompson, Ohio, Quincy Turner, Justin Carlson, Al Brewer, Craig and Kyle Bedell along with many more from the region.
The top ten in points currently has Hall with a four point lead over Russ Dunn, followed by Hess, Shingledecker, Catanzano, with Butch Lambert and Woodward tied for sixth, Brewer sits in eighth followed by, Carlson and Bruce Powell.
Also on the program that night will be the Independent Regional Series (IRS) for the super late models as they compete in the 3rd annual Dave Lundgren Memorial that will pay $5000 to win. The street stocks and 4 cylinder mini stocks will also compete.
