WDRL HIT DEER CREEK AND QUAD CITY OVER LABOR DAY
By: Bucky Doren

GILMAN CITY, MO (Aug 28) - The WORLD Dirt Racing League brings the Polydome Late Model Series to Deer Creek Speedway (Spring Valley,
MN) and Quad City Raceway (East Moline, IL) over the Labor Day Weekend. Race fans will be entertained with great side-by-side racing both nights with some of the best Late Model drivers in the country.

Things kick off Saturday, September 1st at Deer Creek Speedway.
The stars of the WDRL will make their annual stop to the 3/8-mile oval in Southern Minnesota run by the Queensland family. Deer Creek is famous for its two and three wide racing in the corners. Hot laps are set for 5:00 PM with racing to follow.

The next night the WDRL Polydome Late Model Series hits the Quad City Raceway promoted by Brian Stuart. This is the only quarter-mile oval on the 2007 schedule, and things will happen fast. It is also be the first ever visit to the Quad City Raceway for the stars of the WDRL. Hot laps are slated for 5:00 PM with racing to follow.

"The Labor Day Duel at Deer Creek (Speedway) is a must see event for a true race fan," comment Justin Queensland. "When a powerful late model series like the WDRL comes into town followed up with another exciting series like the USMTS modifieds, for only twenty bucks, on the same night, I don't see how a race fan could pass that up."

"Some of our weekly drivers have proven themselves as WDRL winners," added Queesnland. "Keith Foss and Mark Teske both have grabbed wins in the past with the series. Adam Hansel is another driver to keep an on this weekend."

The Polydome Late Model Series drivers will be up for the challenge. Current points leader Brian Harris has scored one win and ripped off eight top ten finishes in his last ten races.
Second in points Justin Fegers has racked up one win and five top ten finishes over those same ten races. John Kaanta finds himself in third, and leads the Rookie of the Year battle.

Some of the other regulars on the WDRL Polydome Late Model Series to keep an eye on include: Denny Eckrich, Dave Eckrich, Eric Pember, Chris Simpson, Ace Ihm, Rob Moss, and many more.
Traveling star Brady Smith has also indicated via his web site that he will be at Deer Creek Speedway Saturday night.

"The WDRL is one of the most competitive late models series in the Midwest," Queensland felt. "It's fun to see guys from across the country compete with our local drivers. The format of the WDRL allows our local stars to showcase their talent."

"I think when you put a series like the WDRL on a quarter-mile track, things will get exciting," added Brian Stuart. "And with the way the facilities are set up at the Quad City Raceway, the fans are right on top of the action."

"Area race fans will be thrilled to see Gary Webb return," said Stuart. "It's been quite a while since he has raced here. Rob Toland should also be someone to watch. Our points champion Jason Bahrs will also be pit side."

Jimmy Mars has indicated via his web site that he will also be on hand at Sunday night.
