NON-CONFORMING PARTS LEADS TO DQ OF TOP  RUNNERS IN MAY 6 
FOOD 4 LESS SUPER LATE MODEL EVENT AT IRWINDALE


Irwindale, Calif.  - -  Irwindale Speedway's Director of Competition, Chris Morgan, 
today announced that both the first and second place finishers in last Saturday 
night's 75-lap Food 4 Less Super Late Model race would be disqualified on technical 
grounds stemming from non-conforming parts on both the #50 car driven by Kevin 
Vernon of Bakersfield, and the #63 car driven by Brandon Miller of Rancho Santa 
Fe.  

The race was also the first round of the Miller Lite Big 10 Challenge.  Both 
drivers will loose all points accrued and prize monies won at the May 6, 2000 
NASCAR event.

This action gives the win to last year's Super Late Model division champion Rod 
Johnson of Canyon Country.  Greg Voigt of Goleta is now classified second, Tim 
Wood III of Chino third, David Brandon of Palmdale fourth, and Doug Renno of 
Canoga Park fifth.
