Whiteman Sets New Track Record
Freedom 40 set for Sept 10; $3,000 to win for Sprints

CHILLICOTHE, OHIO-A large field of Late Models is expected for the $2,000 to win "Tecumseh 30" AMRA Late Model Special Saturday Aug. 27 at Jeff and Vicki Schrader's K-C Raceway. K-C will add the Hobby Stocks to the line-up.

Additionally, K-C management would like to congratulate Brian Whiteman, the McArthur area driver for setting a new track record Saturday, Aug. 20.

The "Tecumseh 30" pays $2,000 to the winner for Late Models with $250 to start. Also on the race card are Mini-Sprints and Rear Wheel Drive Four Cylinders.

The track will be idle Labor Day weekend, then Saturday, September 10, K-C hosts the Freedom 40 for 410 Sprints (to remember 9/11). The event pays $3,000 to win with Advanced Services Modifieds and Hobby Stocks.

This past Saturday, Whiteman set fast time with a 15:381 clock, eclipsing the Oct. 15, 2006, record of 15:401 set by Doug Adkins. In the confusion of getting Saturday's show underway and presenting Whiteman with the Grooms Trucking $50 Fast Time award, no one had realized that Whiteman's time was indeed a new track record.

Owners Jeff and Vicki Schrader would like to pass along their congratulations.

Currently, Whiteman is in a points battle for another championship with Dave Fireball Pinkerton. Pinkerton leads Whiteman 453 to 444. Jeremy Rayburn, Jeremy Berwanger, and Bob Crace Jr. are also contenders still in alignment for a possible championship bid.

K-C has added Late Models to the October 1 racing program. This will give the late model and modified drivers their last chance to race on K-C before the DTWC. There will be no BOSS sprints this night.

While plans are in the works for more Road Warrior Challenge modified races, those that remain currently on the AMRA National schedule are Sept. 17 at Skyline Speedway, Stewart, Ohio(Harvest 50 Weekend)and Oct 1 at K-C Raceway in Chillicothe, Ohio as a warm-up for Dirt Track World Championship.
