The city employees work hard insuring that Bloomington remains a great place to live. And, when they take a break from their labors, they play hard too. Their trip to Bloomington Speedway will give them an opportunity to enjoy a great evening of racing with their friends and co-workers. By the time that July 28th arrives our season should be more than half over. The drivers who have done well up until now will be enjoying their position at the top of the points standings. However, they will not be deluded into thinking that they should be comfortable there. A position in the points standings can go bad with a bad outing; and the competitors know it. For that reason, they will race every Friday night as if it were the final race of the season. On the other hand, those competitors who have had a bad start to their season know that they can still recover if they do their job well. Bloomington Speedway will feature sprint cars, O'Neal Wood Products modifieds, and Tire and Wheel Center super stocks. All three classes typically show up in force every Friday night. The full pits that are a trademark of Bloomington Speedway insure a lot of racing. A typical program includes 12 heat races, 3 B features, and 3 features. At some tracks, a program like that could run to the wee hours of the morning. However, Mike Miles and his able staff do everything in their power to keep the program moving. And, the competitors know that when it's their time to race, they'd better be in the staging area and ready to go. Consequently, most are there when they need to be. We really never know exactly which competitors will be racing with us on a regular basis until the season is underway. However, we can generally figure on most of our top competitors in the points races being with us. The top ten competitors in this year's points are:: Sprint Cars: 1. Kent Christian (574), 2. Kevin Briscoe (570), 3. Kenny Carmichael, Sr. (492), 4. Josh Cunningham (490), 5. Bobby Stines (458), 5. Kenny Carmichael, Jr. (458), 7. Jon Stanbrough (453), 8. Jon Sciscoe (451), 9. Steve Rone (429), 10. Mitch Cunningham (415) O'Neal Wood Products Modifieds: 1. Kent Robinson (564), 2. John DeMoss (559), 3. Ryan Thomas (554), 4. Matt Boknecht (550), 5. Ray Humphrey (545), 6. Jeff Bland, Jr. (541), 7. Jess Cramer (597), 8. Clint DeMoss (492), 9. Richie Lex (467), 10. Bradley Sterrett (427) Tire & Wheel Center Super Stocks: 1. Jeremy Hines (599), 2. Greg Kendall (557), 3. Kevin Arthur (552), 4. Joe Lucas (536), 5. Greg Amick (527), 6. Winston Howe (520), 6. Jack Frye (519), 8. Troy Clark (509), 9. Steve Hollars (472), 10. Ben DuBois (469) Pit gates will open at 4:30 PM, the grandstand gates will open at 5:30 PM, hot laps will start at 6:30 PM, and racing will begin at 7:30 PM.

The evening's racing will feature sprint cars, O'Neal Wood Products modifieds, and Tire & Wheel Center super stocks. Joining us on August 4 will be members of the South Central Building & Construction Trades Council. These guys work hard for their money; and they expect value for it. They know that they get that value at Bloomington Speedway. There should also be plenty of sprint cars,O'Neal Wood Products modifieds, Tire & Wheel Stock super stocks. This will give the fans more of what they come to Bloomington Speedway to see - GREAT RACING. There will be only four more sprint car points races after the August 4 race. Kent Christian holds a slim 4 point edge over Kevin Briscoe. That makes this one of the tightest sprint car points races that we've had in some time. Because of the participation of many of our sponsors, each position in the points races is worth more money. Those at the top of the points standing will be doing everything possible improve their position or, at the very least, hold onto the one they have. In the O'Neal Wood Products/Monroe County Pizza Dept. modified division only 19 points separate the top five drivers (Kent Robinson, John DeMoss, Ryan Thomas, Matt Boknecht, and Ray Humphrey). Any of them are capable of making a charge to win the championship. And, of course, all of the competitors have the opportunity to improve their positions in the points races and their year end points awards.. In the Tire & Wheel Center super stock division Jeremy Hines holds a 42 point lead over Greg Kendall. However, only 130 points separate the top ten competitors. On August 4, these guys along with all of the other Tire & Wheel Center super stock racers are expected to be on hand to pick up the points along with the extra prize money. Because performance at Bloomington Speedway such a good measure of a racer's performance, a Bloomington Speedway championship is one of the most coveted in the area. Don't miss the next battles in the wars for Bloomington Speedway championships.
