Lang Back In Victory Lane

Naima Lang won the 1^st Annual Mark Galloway Hot August Night Shootout for Super Late Models at Evergreen Speedway on Saturday August 27. The 125-lap feature on the BIG 5/8-mile paved oval put Lang back on the podium for the 11^th time this season. By virtue of the win Lang also won the four race ‘Big West Series’ and took home the 6 foot trophy. The Northwest Legends Series winner was Bob Kronenberg. Mike Middleton won the Stinger 8 main and ‘Crashin’ Kenny Bates won the Extreme V-8 main. The Evergreen State Fair race crowd enjoyed a great night of racing in the clear warm weather.

Lang who had a 8 in a row win streak end two weeks ago won his 11^th of the season in 14 starts. Taking the lead for good with 50 to go in the 125-lap main on the BIG track, Lang pulled out to a sizeable win. Gary Lewis and Lang had the fans on their feet as the two swapped the lead and some great side by side racing. The restarts after cautions had everyone gasping on which one would choose the inside or out on the commitment cone restarts. The final restart with 55 to go Lang decided to take the outside lane and Lewis decided to go inside. That is all Lang needed to pull away. Lewis then struggled with handling problems and fell to third well behind second place finisher Daniel Moore.

Kronenberg won the NW Legends main from the front row and never was challenged. Kronenberg spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons on the National Masters Legend’s tour and won championships. Kronenberg, who now runs periodically after traveling over 150,000 mile during the tour years, looked as good as ever. Jon VanGeesen finished second with Roger Drake directly behind.

Middleton who normally races in the Super Figure Eight division made a cameo appearance in the Stinger 8 main in a car he used to drive. Using cunning moves through traffic at the dreaded X, Middleton garnered the winner’s trophy and the accolades of the crowd. Josh Young was second and Melissa Repin third.

The Extreme V-8 main was to be one run in the normal counterclockwise direction and the second half in reverse also counterclockwise. Well everything was good until the half way point. Leader Bates should have then turned and gone in reverse. What he did was turn and go clockwise but forward. The problem was then compounded when the rest of the racers followed him. So at the end Bates was declared the winner since everyone did the same. Bates has gained a new nickname ‘wrong way’ Kenny Bates. The crowd laughed and so did Bates as he left the track in reverse.

Next up at Evergreen Speedway is a holiday weekend triple header as part of the 2011 Evergreen State Fair where everyone is ‘Hungry for Fun’.

Galloway 125 Set for Aug 27

Saturday August 27 at Evergreen Speedway the 1^st Annual Mark Galloway Memorial 125 for the Speedway Chevrolet NASCAR Whelen All American Series (Open/Crate Motor) Super Late Models on the BIG 5/8-mile paved oval. The Northwest best late model racers are scheduled go after the $3000 winners share of the $20,000 purse plus contingencies awards. In addition the Northwest Legends, Extreme V-8’s will be joined by the Stinger 8’s. The racing begins at 6pm as part of the 2011 Evergreen State Fair.

The 125-lap super late model race on the monster 5/8-mile has drawn many of the top drivers including the return to his home track after over a year away, Gary Lewis one of the best touring drivers in the country with an ASA (American Speed Association), an ARCA west and a NASCAR championship during his years touring the west coast. Another great touring driver, Ron Eaton returns after a long time away from the ‘Northwest Center of NASCAR Racing’, has four NASCAR touring championships and more wins as a late model racer than anybody scheduled for this prestigious event.

Current Evergreen Speedway and Big West Series point leader Naima Lang hopes to continue his 2011 season domination on the BIG track. Lang has won seven of this season’s eight races on the BIG track and ten of the thirteen races for the super late models. Another win or strong finish of the 125 by Lang will gain him the first ever ‘Big West Series’ championship and the 6 foot trophy.

Other drivers to watch of the many scheduled will be the most recent division winner Tom Hughes who won his first ever late model feature. Daniel Moore the WSU student who has won twice this season with one of those on the 5/8-mile. Kelly Mann who will be fresh off double header wins at South Sound Speedway. Jeff Knight who has come so close is overdue. Billy Webber had a BIG track win a few years ago. These are just few to be watching.

The new bump to pass division the Extreme V-8’s never know until close to race time what type of event they will be running. The last time out they held a ‘Cat & Mouse’ feature and the time before that a ‘Flagpole’ main. Always a crowd pleasure, this division is growing with the car count doubled of what started the season.

The Northwest Legends series had nineteen cars the last they time visited the ‘Super Speedway of the West’. They will be racing on the 3/8-mile oval.

The Stinger 8 division will be on the fast and furious figure eight track where ‘Highways 2 and 522 Collide’. These 4 cylinder powered daredevils of the dreaded X will be racing for 40-laps that is 80-times through the X.

All the action begins at 6pm with front gates opening at 4pm. The 2011 Evergreen State Fair is underway, come on out, enjoy a day at the fair and an evening of the best NASCAR racing on the 5/8; 3/8 mile ovals and on the fast figure eight track.

125 Mark Galloway Invitational Tire Clarification

There have been many questions concerning the 125 Mark Galloway Invitational.  Once again, the tire rules were 4 new for the night.  The intent is to manage the cost of the race.   At the 60 Lap 10 minute break, all teams will line up nose to tail.  In the event someone has a flat or cutdown tire, you may change the tire, but must start at the rear of the field.  Should a team replace multiple tires that team will lose one lap plus start at the rear of the field.  Any tire changes must be brought to the attention of an Official before being done. The “Lucky Dog” will not be in effect for this race.
