Andy Jones got his second career feature win in the Midwest Mod division.Tim Borgeson got Mike Weber in turn four on the last lap of the Superstock race which was shortened to 14 laps because of seven cautions. Dave Cain continues to dominate the Modified class. This race was shortened to 18 laps because of seven yellows.

"......a sizzling hot weekend on and off the track. These are the Midwest Mod's going three wide for the lead on July 4 at Kopellah. Saturday we went south to Deer Creek. It was 95 when we pulled in. Great show. Adam Hensel won the 40 lap Tri-Star Challenge Series race. Joel Cryderman came from ninth to the second spot. The track was excellent despite the hot conditions. It was still a sweltering 82 when the show was over. See you at the races......"

....streetstock action during the feature at Kopellah Friday night. It was Midseason Championship already. Won by Chanda Fjordin-Nord. Jeff Hientz led most of the way until he and Jason VanDecamp got together on the back stretch cutting his tire down and knocking him out of action. See ya at the races.....

......a beautiful night for racing at Red Cedar Speedway Wednesday. 35 Late Models showed up for the WDRL show. Jimmy Mars was the class of the field as he ran off and hid during the 50 lap feature. He was never challenged although Ashley Anderson got close a couple times when Mars was in traffic. Jimmy pretty much stayed in the "Mars line" running the bottom. He said that's where his car wanted to run. It was a good show. Tonight it's off to Deer Creek and the "World of Outlaws" late models. I've never been to Dear Creek so it should be fun. See you at the races.......

SHOT OF THE WEEK by Dave Trautmiller

".......we finally got some decent weather Friday and Saturday. I was at Kopellah Friday night and it was a pretty good show. The Modified feature was outstanding. A real dogfight between Scott Splittstoesser and Buzzy Adams. Scott got the win on the last lap. Saturday we were back at our old haunts at Cedar Lake. It's the 50th year of racing there. T-shirt weather nearly all night. Both tracks I went to were pretty good considering it was the openers. I bought a new lens this year to try some outside the track shooting. This weeks shot is Dan Carlson(24) and Larry Boumiester(4) coming out of turn two. I shot it from accross the track at the excit of turn three. See ya at the races........."

"Hey Stan,
I bought a new very powerful lens a couple weeks ago. I'm just learning it now. This lens has a ton of potential. I got a few very nice shot tonite. The shot I'm sending was taken of a couple clowns who happened to get in the way LOL. Actually it was taken from my booth.
I'm at Kopellah Friday nights again. I'm the "official" track photographer now. Hope to see ya soon.
Dave"

Navy Davy Shot of the Week April 2, 2007

"....we opened the 2007 season at Brownstown Speedway in southern Indiana this past weekend. What a show!!! We were threatened by rain all weekend(it rained nearly all the way there). On raceday it stopped and the show went on. 72 Late Models showed up. It was pretty much a who's who of Late Model drivers. Brownstown is a third mile bullring and the racing there gets very competitive. It's wide enough that they run three and four wide all through the field. "Kid Rocket" Josh Richards led about half the 75 lap feature when Shannon Babb and Jimmy Owens tracked him down in traffic. Babb got by followed by Owens and Richards fell back to third. Steve Casebolt got by for third and Billy Moyer followed him through. It was a real dog fight the rest of the way. Moyer finally got by em all and led the rest of the way for the win. Casebolt was second followed by Jimmy Owens, Shannon Babb, and Josh Richards. It was a great way to open the season. This weeks shot is Billy Moyer at Brownstown. See ya at the races......."

......as many of you know we lost John Seitz this past week. John was becoming one of the better Late Model racers here in the Northland. He was also a very nice man. Everytime I approached him in the pits he'd take a minute or two to chat. He'll be missed a lot. I guess the Good Lord needed another driver..........
