“THE TRADITION RETURNS”

CORNING, IA (Sept. 9) - For the ninth year The Tradition will make a return to the Adams County Speedway, in Corning, Iowa on Saturday September 22, 2007. An event putting NASCAR and IMCA drivers on the same track on the same night for bragging rights. Three classes of cars will be in competition , Pro-Am, Street Stock, I Stocks making up the top class followed by the Hobby Stocks, and Hornets.

The Tradition is a event of unique qualifying procedures and many twist and turn. In the Pro-Am and Hobbies all drivers draw for their heat race starting position with the top finishers moving to their respective “A” feature. All others will try to qualify through consolation events. All heat race winners will race a “Dash for Cash” to determine the starting order of the “A” feature. The winner of the Dash for Cash then has to decide rather to take all the cash and start 6th or split the money with all the competitors in the dash and start from the pole position.

The Pro-Am Feature has changed from a 40 lap to a 30 lap event this year with the 10 minute break coming after lap 15. Hobby Stocks will run a 24 lap feature with their 10 minute break coming after lap 12. Each lap will pay lap money to the driver leading each lap in each feature with a bonus for leading the half way. Plus if the same driver can lead half way and win there is yet another added bonus.

During the break a playing card is revealed that was drawn by the dash winner but kept secret until now, on how many cars will invert for the restart.

Previous winners include defending Champion Steve Jackson, Des Moines, IA one of the Winn ingest drivers in the IMCA Stock Car division. A.J. Miller, Jeremy Miller, Cody Weaver, Scott Carlson, Stephen Jenkins, and Cornings own Jeremy Houck. Hobby Stock winner have been Doug Siedle, Todd Jansonius, Andy Boeckman (2) and Jim Tull.

Hornet cars will run two 6 lap races with each winner receiving trophies. After the second race the low point car will be awarded the first place money and so on. Points will be awarded corresponding to their finishing position.

The Tradition is promoted by the Adams Co. Fair & Racing Assc. and sponsored by KMA/KKBZ, Stalker Chevrolet-Cadillac Creston, Miller Beer Southwest Distributing, Budweiser Doll Distributing, Northland Products Co. And Houck Supply. Plus many other lap sponsors.
