GILMAN CITY, Mo. (Aug. 29, 2007) - The WORLD Dirt Racing League brings the PolyDome Late Model Series to Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., and Quad City Raceway in East Moline, Ill., over the Labor Day holiday weekend, where the best Late Model drivers in the country are expected to provide racing fans with side-by-side racing.

Things kick off Saturday, Sept. 1, at Deer Creek Speedway when the WDRL stars make their annual stop at the three-eighths-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 p.m. with racing to follow.

The WDRL Polydome Late Model Series hits the Quad City Raceway, promoted by Brian Stuart, one night later, on Sunday night, Sept. 2.

This is the only quarter-mile oval on the 2007 WDRL schedule, and action will happen fast. It is also the first-ever visit to Quad City Raceway for the stars of the WDRL.

Hot laps are slated for 5 p.m. with racing to follow.

"The Labor Day Duel at Deer Creek (Speedway) is a must-see event for a true race fan," comments 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 20 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," adds 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-10 finishes in his last 10 races.

Second in points is Justin Fegers, who has racked up one win and five top-10 finishes over those same 10 races.

John Kaanta finds himself in third, and he leads the WDRL 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 and Rob Moss. Traveling star Brady Smith has also indicated via his Web site that he will compete at Deer Creek Speedway on Saturday night.

"The WDRL is one of the most competitive Late Model series in the Midwest," says Queensland. "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 Quad City Raceway's 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 pitside."

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