Media Alert: Alvarado Sweeps EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Tour Feature at Fairgrounds Speedway
News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 18, 2009 Alvarado Sweeps EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Tour Feature at Fairgrounds Speedway CORTEZ, Colo. (Aug. 14-15) - Two more dominating runs put another $2,000 in Ricky Alvarado's pocket, following a weekend sweep of EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Northern Tour events at Fairgrounds Speedway. Alvarado picked up his fifth and sixth victories of the season in the IMCA Modified series, leading most of the distance both nights. Brandon Carley was the leader on the 13th circuit Friday, but Alvarado regained the front spot. Carley stayed close and was running second when the white flag came out, but was relegated to a midpack finish after hit-ting an infield tire. Nick Nelson, Danny Bradford and Aaron Spangler rounded out the top five. "B" qualifier Dennis Durmas advanced a dozen spots to finish ninth. Another good draw put Alvarado on the front row of the Saturday show. Carley again tried to reel Alvarado in but had his hands full with Bradford and neither could mount a challenge. Point leader Justen Yeager was fourth and Spangler repeated his fifth place finish. The race was slowed by just two early cautions. Rick Spangler advanced 13 spots to finish ninth. The third annual series concludes with a Sept. 18-19 doubleheader at Atomic Motor Raceway in Atomic City, Idaho. For more information about EngineQuest, visit www.enginequest.com.
