Star-Studded Leffler Memorial Entry List Continues to Grow

Millstadt, IL – The pre-entry list for the Third Annual Jason Leffler Memorial sponsored by Great Clips continues to grow as the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series quickly approaches the highest paying midget event of the year.  Set for Friday, October 23rd at Wayne County Speedway in Wayne City, Illinois the Jason Leffler Memorial is expected to produce one of the most memorable races of the 2015 season.  Drivers from all across the United States are entered to chase the $20,000 to WIN event in honor of the late NASCAR and open wheel driver, Jason Leffler, with front gate proceeds benefiting Leffler’s son, Charlie Dean.  The list of drivers is headed up by none-other-than inaugural Jason Leffler Memorial winner, Zach Daum.

Starting the 2015 season off with a rocky start after being injured overseas, the former POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series champion was sidelined for a majority of the 2015 season.  But it took less than a handful of races for the Dauminator to knock the rust off and return to his winning ways, claiming events at Lincoln Speedway, Tri-State Speedway, and Macon Speedway.  Not only running midgets, Daum has dabbled in various open wheel machines ranging from winged and non-winged sprint cars to micros.

Winning the 2014 Jason Leffler Memorial, World of Outlaws Sprint Car driver Daryn Pittman took home the $10,000 check and bragging rights for the year.  Only stepping into a midget a handful of times per year, Pittman’s victory was anything but a fluke, as the Pittsboro, Indiana driver had to hold off Christopher Bell and Bryan Clauson for the victory.

Other notable entries include Rico Abreu (2015 Chili Bowl Nationals Champion), Darren Hagen (2015 POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget Series Champion), Christopher Bell, and Damion Gardner.

Stringer Holdings, owned by Wayne County Speedway track owner, Doug Stringer, manages the NASCAR, World of Outlaws, and POWRi partnerships for Great Clips. Leffler represented the world’s largest salon brand in the NASCAR Nationwide Series from 2006-2011. As a tribute to him, Great Clips is proudly serving as title sponsor of the Jason Leffler Memorial race.
