MAUMEE, OH (7-1-10)
The race for the 2010 Kistler Cup Trophy and the champion’s $10,000 share of the Kistler Racing Products FAST Championship Series points fund heats up this coming holiday weekend as three features are on tap. First on Friday, July 2nd the teams will haul to Attica Raceway Park for Kear’s Speed Shop Fan Appreciation Night. Fans will be treated to a great night of racing for an affordable $10 general admission ticket price! Then on Saturday, July 3rd at Fremont Speedway the teams will first compete in the make-up feature from the Night #10 rain out before the regular night’s program begins. The month of July will separate the contenders from the pretenders as the series only takes off the July 16th-17th weekend for the running of the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway.
It has been a grueling summer so far for many teams who will spend the second half of the season chasing down “The Monclova Missle” Byron Reed who currently leads the points chase and has proven to be the man to beat in 2010 at both tracks. Reed leads Brock Mayes by a 100 point margin while Mark Keegan and Phil Gressman lurk in the shadows waiting to strike. They will have a chance this weekend with 3 feature events in two days to gain some ground on Reed.
Also on tap for this weekend is the return of the FAST305’s for Nights #5 & #6 of the 10 race series. Stuart Brubaker leads John Ivy by just 13 points and only 95 points separate 1st place from 15th. The ultra-competetive 305 division will be interesting to watch as we pass the half way point on the 2010 schedule. Early season favorites Bobby Clark and Paul Weaver sit in 3rd and 4th place with up and comer DJ Foos rounding out the Top 5. Look for a points shake up this weekend once the dust settles.
