Lexington, MI (December 3, 2007) - The ASA Late Model Series Most Popular Driver Award contest continues to be one of the most exciting off season contests in ASALMS history. Over a Million votes have been cast in the last week just for the leader alone! The nominees have been cut down to Six (6) drivers as the great fans of the ASALMS continue to rally themselves around their favorite drivers.

 

In a surprising turn of events in the “American Idol” style voting, the latest “cast off” is 2007 ASA Late Model Series Challenge Division Champion, Travis Dassow while for the third week in a row, Colt James was the leading vote getter as the Buda, Texas driver continues to take advantage of his strong fan base in his home state of Texas to lead the remaining nominees.

 

Six (6) drivers remain and the votes have all been reset to Zero. Here are the remaining nominees: 170 Jeff Choquette, 8 Eddie Hoffman, 015 Colt James, 41 Brandon Johnson, 87 Jesse Saunders, and 88 Trent Snyder.

 

There's still a lot of time left to vote and it's real simple; Vote for your favorite driver and that driver who receives the most votes from our great fans of the ASALMS will be honored as the 2007 ASALMS Most Popular Driver at the 2007 ASALMS Awards Banquet and Weekend of Champions on Saturday January 19, 2008 at the Clarion Hotel and Convention Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

 

The catch is; The driver with the least amount of votes on each Monday of each week leading up to the banquet, will be eliminated from award contention! So don't let your favorite driver be voted off, keep voting as often as you like on the ASALMS Official Forum as well as the Poll Question Sections of the ASALMS North and South websites.

 

So far 2007 ASALMS Challenge Division Champion, Travis Dassow, 2007 ASALMS Northern Division Runner-Up, 19-year-old Nick Neville, Four-Time ASALMS Southern Division Feature Winner, Beau Slocumb and 2007 Pat Bourdow Memorial Rookie of the Year in the ASALMS Challenge Division, Sean Murphy have been voted off the ballot.

 

There will be Two (2) drivers left to begin the new calendar (2008) year. From that point forward, the votes will be tabulated right up until the weekend of the banquet and the Winner will be announced at the 2007 ASA Late Model Series Awards Banquet and Weekend of Champions on Saturday January 19, 2008.

 

For more information about the 2007 ASA Late Model Series Awards Banquet and Weekend of Champions as well as the 2008 seasons within all four divisions of the ASALMS, you can call the ASALMS home offices during normal business hours Monday through Friday 9:00am-5:00pm (EST) at: 1 (800) 385-2503.
