Big 10 Street Stocks Join Supers At Lincoln Speedway Friday
Drivers To Garner Points For Season Ending Awards
Lincoln Speedway is the site of two special events for the Midwest Big Ten Series this coming Friday, April 22. For the Big Ten Super Late Models, it is their second event of the year, with the first at Belle-Clair in the books from April 1. For the Big Ten Street Stocks, it will be the season opener. In both events, drivers will be trying to garner important points toward their year-end total for points money and trophies.
For the Midwest Big Ten Series Super Late Models, this will be the second event of 2016. At the Belle-Clair Speedway event on April 1, over 25 Super Late Model competitors were on hand. Taking the win that night was Chad Zobrist, while Michael Kloos, Andrew Johns, Brian Diveley, and Richard Frost finished off the top five. Diveley will be one of the favorites this week, as he looks to defend his 2015 Big Ten championship and claim Friday’s $1,500 top prize.
At the end of the 10 race series, each driver will have their best 8 events counted toward their season points. The top ten will be in line for a point fund of $4,000 that will give the champion a $1,500 bonus.
Friday night will also mark the season opener for the Midwest Big Ten Street Stocks. Opening night at Lincoln last week had a solid field of Street Stocks competing for a regular night of racing so this Friday should have a stacked field of good racers going for the $500 top prize. The Big Ten Street Stocks ran once at Lincoln last season with Terry Miller claiming the win. Miller was followed by John Farris, Brian Gaines, series champion Terry Reed, and Jeffery Reed, Jr.
Much like the Super Late Models, the Street Stocks of the Midwest Big Ten Series will run for a season ending point fund. It will pay the champion $1,000 with the top ten receiving a total of $3,000 and awards. Points will count from each driver’s best eight finishes out of the ten events.
In addition to the two Big Ten Classes, the Stock Car Spectacular will have Modifieds, Sportsman, and Hornets on the card.
Pit gates open Friday at 4:00, grandstands at 5:00, pill draw ends at 6:00, hotlaps begin at 6:20, and racing will take the green shortly after 7:00. Grandstand admission is $15 for adults and free for kids 11 and under.
