MARTZ LEADS MIDWEST FOCUS MIDGETS TO LAKEVILLE; FISHER WINS FIRST CAREER USAC RACE AT KENTUCKY QUARTER

A week after its most high-profiled event of the season, the Midwest Ford
Focus Midget Car Series return to the dirt surface and Lakeville Speedway in
Lakeville, Ohio, with Tate Martz of Rushville, Ind. at the helm in the
points standings.

Martz finished fifth in Saturday’s combined Midwest-Carolina/Virginia Ford
Focus feature at Kentucky Speedway, won by Midwest pavement regular and
series rookie Derek Fisher of Columbus, Ind. Fisher led all 20 laps on the
quarter-mile oval inside the 1.5-mile superspeedway for his first career
USAC victory, driving the No. 97 Keith Kunz Motorsports Vital Express
Bullet.

Fisher was trailed by Stephanie Mockler, Carolina/Virginia Focus points
leader Chase Scott, James Robertson and Martz. Josh Clemons, who won last
year’s race at Kentucky, finished sixth. The event preceded the NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series race.

Martz clinched the 2004 Midwest Ford Focus championship at the 3/8-mile
track in Lakeville, finishing seventh in the race. The first scheduled event
at the track in 2005 was rained out.

Martz leads Mockler by 67 points heading into the second half of the Midwest
season.
