CAMARGO, IL (5-7-07)
– The O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions are gearing up to take on some of
the toughest local competition they will face all season as they head to
Central PA for the 5th Annual Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal
Speedway in Port Royal, PA.Lance
Dewease took home the top honors in 2006 to bring his career All Star win total
to 24.Other drivers such as Fred
Rahmer, Mark Smith, Jeff Shepard, Keith Kauffman, and Lucas Wolfe – along with
a full field of tough weekly Port Royal
regulars – will try to make things tough for the traveling All Stars.
All Star point
leader and defending champion Greg Wilson will lead the charge into hostile territory
with his own traveling posse to take on the Central PA
competition.Brock Mayes, Danny Smith,
Shane Stewart, Kenny Jacobs, Brian Paulus, Paul May, Bill Rose, Craig Mintz,
Brandon Martin, and Brian Ellenberger will be gunning for the Bob Weikert trophy
and bragging rights for another year.
From there the
series heads back West on Sunday to Bedford Speedway in Bedford, PA.
The All Stars have not visited Bedford
since 2001 when Lance Dewease picked up the win.The two day event has been dubbed the “Battle of the Fairgrounds
- The Way Racing Was” referring to how the sprint car circuit traveled from
fairgrounds to fairgrounds all across the nation back in the thirties, forties,
and fifties. There will be a $1,000 bonus if one driver can win at Port Royal
on Saturday, and then at Bedford
on Sunday.
Ticket prices for each night are $18.00 general admission
and $25.00 for a pit pass.There is free
camping available at both tracks, but please call ahead for hook-ups.For those not planning to camp for the night,
please visit the Official Hotel of the All Star Circuit of Champions - The Best

Oh Lord, "they" do try! You get my money on Saturday night and maybe Sunday night! If you want more of my dough, run "snappy" shows (especially Sunday night). I don't want to be driving home and see the sun rising over the PA Turnpike on a Monday morning! E-Mods.

There is no chance of Rahmer skipping double features at Lincoln to run Port on Saturday.

I think you're right, but he is supposed to be at Bedford.

Ahhh, the fun starts the minute I take the pepsi shirt off and put a racing tee on!
I am getting a bit old for the all nighters, but if it's what it takes to see the world then so be it. Like my buddy George says....or to paraphrase a little..." Life's short...Play Hard"
