It is then on to 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas on Sunday night for the series second and final appearance of the season. Both races will also see the Colorado based Colorado Late Model Association DIRTCar series competing as well. Four-time series champion Kelly Boen of Henderson, Colorado will once again come in as points leader with a 220 point advantage over Bellevue, Nebraska’s Corey Zeitner. Boen is a four time feature winner at Dodge City Raceway Park and has won this event the past two years in a row. Last year Boen decimated the field in lapping all competitors on the three-eighth mile oval. He also has six career series feature victories at 81 Speedway. Series rookie Jase Kaser of Lincoln, Nebraska currently holds down the third position in the point standings and also leads in rookie of the year honors. Jason O’Brien of Atlantic, Iowa sits fourth in the point standings while Soloman, Kansas driver Wylan Petrie rounds out the top five. Two-time and defending series champion Kyle Berck currently sits sixth in the point standings but is not expected to compete. Just weeks after splitting from car owner Bill Koons, former two-time series champion Al Purkey of Coffeyville, Kansas is coming off two straight top three finishes from last weekend and currently sits seventh. Other touring drivers expected to compete include Shawn Harker (Plattsmouth, Nebraska), Dean Moore (Grand Junction, Colorado), Jerry Warner (Lavesta, Nebraska), Delbert Smith (Wichita), Gary Scott Christian (Broken Bow, Oklahoma). The CLMA is led by current series point leader Eddie Kirchoff of Gillette, Wyoming but he is not expected to compete. Other series regulars include Jason Schierkolk (Casper, Wyoming), Dave Garmann (Brighton, Colorado), Scott Lewis (Henderson, Colorado), Eric Mass (Rapid City, South Dakota) and John Bey (Sturgis, South Dakota). Thus far through the fourteen events held, Boen has amassed seven feature victories with six other drivers reaching victory lane in 2010 with the only other repeat winner being Terry Phillips of Springfield, Missouri who is not expected to compete this weekend.
