Media Alert: Yeager, Alvarado Top Sweetwater Foes in EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Tour
News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 23, 2009 Yeager, Alvarado Top Sweetwater Foes in EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Tour ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. (July 17-18) - Two familiar faces were back in victory lane when the EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Northern Tour traveled to Sweetwater Speedway. Current IMCA Modified series point leader Justen Yeager, a four-time track champion at Rock Springs, topped the Friday night show in extending his tour winning streak to three events. Two-time defending tour champion Ricky Alvarado returned to Wild West Tour action and captured the Saturday checkers. The victory was his career 21st on the EQ circuit. Both events paid $1,000 to win and put Yeager and Alvarado on the ballot for the 2010 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Zane DeVilbiss ran second in both shows, scoring runner-up points after qualifying through his Friday "B" and starting way back in 19th. Roy Spielman, Troy McElroy and George Ashby Jr. completed Friday's top five. Dennis Durmas, Brad Boyer and Yeager ran third through fifth, respectively, on Saturday. Yeager made his opening night advance from the sixth starting spot. DeVilbiss was up to 13th when the caution came out, took to the high side of the track when the race went back to green and was up to second in just five circuits. Coming off his fourth place finish in the Big Dog Dakota Classic Tour, Alvarado took the checkers in his ninth consecutive night on the track. Alvarado took the green from the fourth spot and dueled with the eighth starting DeVilbiss in a 30-lapper than went non-stop for all 30 laps. Durmas, also racing for the ninth consecutive night, qualified by winning his "B" and moved up 10 positions. Next on the tour schedule is the Friday and Saturday, Aug. 14-15 doubleheader at Fairgrounds Speedway in Cortez, Colo. Pit gates and the grandstand open at 4 p.m. both days.
