FASTRAK National Championship "HEATS UP" among Weekly and Regional Competitors July 31, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE(Carnesville, GA)...As the 2007 FASTRAK season is a little over halfway completed, the list of National Championship competitors continues to grow. Point battles continue to be in contention across the country in both Regional and Weekly Track Championships. In a very unique points system only teams that are first, FASTRAK MEMBERS, and secondly, make at least 51% of their perspective events at either FASTRAK weekly-sanctioned tracks or in Regional Touring seriesacross the country, will be allowed to attend the second annual FASTRAK "Grand Nationals" paying a WHOPPING $50,000 TO WIN! 2006 FASTRAK National Champion, Steve "Hot Rod" Lamance will once again contend for the $50,000 to win prize as he is currently registered at Travelers Rest Speedway in SC and has already performed his duties on making a minimum of 51% of the races at his local track. "I love the way the FASTRAK system is designed, said LaMance. This way the teams that support theseries are the only ones that get the chance at the $50,000 to win prize at the Grand Nationals. It doesn't cater to the big names in the sport to come in and steal the biggest prize money of the year. Last year when I won the grand total was over $82,000 including $50,000 in cash. I commend Stan Lester for doing everything he has stated from day one of the series. The 2006 story of LaMance was one of the best in racing. LaMance came to most of the events in 2006 with an open trailer, with a 99 model car, didn't win either night of the three-night National events, but had the best average overall and took home the $50,000 prize. LaMance and his wife Teresa overcame a lot of obstacles just to get there as Teresa had some major health problems earlier in the year. "I was in the hospital and Hot Rod said he wasn't going to the races that night, said Teresa. I told him he had to go because we needed the two bonus points. I finally talked him into it and guess what? We won the National Championship by those exact 2 bonus points. $50,000 later LaManace would agree that was the most important decision of the year for his team and gives credit to his wife. 2007 WEEKLY PONT LEADERS Antioch Speedway (NC) Will ShufflerCarolina Speedway (NC) no results postedCalloway Raceway (MO) Robbie WrightCherokee Speedway (SC) Chris FergusonDog Hollow (PA) David PadulaEast Alabama Motor Speeedway (AL) Larry HarrodFreedom Raceway (NY) Greg OakesGreen Valley Speedway (AL) Clay GroganHarris Speedway (NC) David SmithI-20 Speedway (SC) David CovanI-77 Speedway (SC) Chris SteeleLancaster Speedeway (SC) Timbo MangumModoc Speedway (SC) Brandon CarpenterMcKean Raceway (PA) Greg OakesMontgomery County Speedway (MO) Shawn RayfieldOshkosh Speedway (WI) Justin HirtPrinceton Speedway (WV) Tate HughesRaceway 7 (PA) Dick BartonRolling Thunder Speedway (VA) no results postedSeymour Speedway (WI) Justin HirtShawano Speedway (WI) Justin HirtSugar Creek Raceway (GA) Tim GreenTomahawk Speedway (SD) John SmithThunder Valley Speedway (NC) no results postedToccoa Speedway (GA) no results postedTravelers Rest Speedway (SC) no results postedTri County Speedway (NC) Seth WimpeyVolunteer Speedway (TN) Bobby MaysWestminster Speedway (SC) no results postedWythe Raceway (VA) Kenny Peeples2007 REGIONAL TOURING POINT LEADERS:Dakota: John SmithGreat Lakes: Michael StranglHeartland: no points recordedMid East: John LlewellynMid West: Darin WalkerNorth East: Alan Dellinger Pacific: no results postedSouthern: William Thomas Upper Mid West: no points recordedTo join our mailing list, simply send an e-mail to fastrakpr-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
