ODESSA, MO (June 8, 2007) -  Exciting door to door racing continues to greet race fans on “Five Dollar Fridays” at the dirt track at I-70 Speedway. “I just can’t get over how close the racing has been every Friday night” commented I-70 Owner, Brad McDonald. “This IMCA racing has been great, with gas cost what it is, race fans can find relief on Friday nights, where admission tickets for dirt track action, are only five dollars”, concluded McDonald.

From his outside, row two, starting position, the 20t of Mike Tanner headed to the front and never looked back, winning the IMCA Modified Feature. Close behind Mike was the 22y of Yancy Shepard, 26ss Steven Glenn, 73 Truman Asher, 93s Chad Shaw, 44g Randy Grimmett, 54 Lynn Starry, 97 Ron Hartford and the #8 of Jeremy Simmons.

Brad was followed by the 22a of Alvie Christofferson, 11t Bennie Turner, 86 Gary Foxworthy, 50 Curtis Morrison, 12 Russell Walter and the #95 driven by Brian Audette. The 97 of Travis Taylor was unable to make the call for the feature.

In the IMCA SportMods, Brad Smith in the 99 led wire to wire however, it was the #69 of Matt Marrant who was awarded the feature win. It seems that in post race inspection, Smith was disqualified for several rules infractions. Finishing second behind Marrant was the 70 of David Willey, 31z Wade Brown, 77 John Miller and the #23 of first time SpotMod driver, Chad Walter.
