Outlaws invade area Friday
The World of Outlaws Late Model series invades Lernerville Speedway Friday night for a 50-lap feature.
The series, which is in its second year, features the Dirty Dozen, 12 of the top Late Model drivers in the country who agreed to race the entire series this year.
Pit gates open at 4 p.m., with the grandstands opening at 5. Time trials begin at 7:15, with racing set for 8.
The 50-lap race pays $10,000 to the winner.
The Outlaws Late Model series resumes Friday after a two-week break. Current points leader Billy Moyer used the time off to venture to Columbus, Miss., April 15-17, where he won the 60-lap Governor's Cup race and the $10,000 first prize.
Moyer comes into Friday's race with 556 points. Also among the top 10 are Clint Smith with 538, Darrell Lanigan 536, Rick Eckert of York with 520, Chub Frank of Bear Lake and Mike Balzano 518, Scott Bloomquist and Tim McCreadie at 512, Dan Schlieper 506 and Dale McDowell 504.
Of the top 10 points leaders, only Moyer, Smith and McCreadie have won points races this season.
Frank and McDowell won the Outlaws Late Model features at Lernerville last season. Bloomquist is the series' defending points champion.
Friday's race will be taped by the Speed Channel and televised at 3 p.m. May 14.
