You can call her the "Queen of Speed" or "Lady Lead- foot" but Sprint car racing's fastest female is planning on being called the next champion of the 9^th Annual Jerry Richert Sr. Memorial Race this coming Saturday night the 12^th of September at Cedar Lake Speedway.

Crew chief Mike Woodring has confirmed today that Erin Crocker- Evernham is pumped and excited to take on the best sprint car drivers of the upper-Midwest on the racy 3/8 high banked dirt oval.

Crocker-Evernham will have her work cut out for her on that evening as we are expecting stiff competition from the newly crowned Knoxville Champion "Hollywood" Herrera. We are also excited to announce that our 2003 & 2004 Jerry Richert Sr. Memorial Champion Terry McCarl will be back and ready to battle with the best of the Midwest. Mark Dobmeier is also scheduled to make an appearance and will be out to make up for the disappointment of last year's race where he ended the night in the trailer with a blown motor. Travis Whitney is another confirmed driver and is excited for the race. With time trials kicking the night off it will give him a shot of regaining his one lap record at a track that he loves racing at.

IRA President Steve Sinclair is also excited for this year's event and is confident that one of his regular travelling team's will be on the podium for this event. The current point leader going into this event is 2008 Champion is Billy Balog. Will there be an Aussie Outlaw in the field at this year's Memorial? ?????

Wouldn't miss this race for anything.Will there be event shirts for sale, if so what is the price?

Since its inception this is the best sprint car race at Cedar Lake Speedway. The quantity and quality of the field is always very good. The best part is the support class will be the UMSS sprints. It is very rare for this area to have 410 & 360 sprints on the same night. Bewtween the two classes we should see at least 50 sprint cars.

Hopefully, the turnout of fans is good enough to keep the 360s on for future years. I can't wait.

I am betting you can add Scott Winters to this show, the 23w team has had some pretty good finishes the last couple years at Cedar Lake. Good luck Scott and the 23w team.

Brad Barickman plans to run both Ron Olson's 410 & 360.
