Cedar County Fair Awaits Sprint Invaders Thursday!
(Bill W) July 10, 2012 – One of the most anticipated stops on the Brockway Mechanical & Roofing Sprint Invaders is always the racy ¼-mile Cedar County Raceway in Tipton, Iowa. The annual event takes place this Thursday night, July 12, and there is plenty of anticipation!
This will mark the sixth year that the Sprint Invaders have competed in Tipton. Last year, Kaley Gharst became the first repeat winner at the track last season when he won for the second year in a row. Other past winners include Jack Dover, Bobby Mincer and current point leader, Ryan Jamison.
Mincer trails Jamison by only seven points heading into Thursday’s event. Knoxville, Iowa’s Tony Shilling is close behind, followed by Russ Hall and Ben Wagoner. Bret Tripplett, Justin Parrish, Jordan Goldesberry, Jimmy Davies and John Greenwood round out the top ten in series standings.
It was a night of thrills last time out, with double features at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. Josh Higday finished atop the make-up feature from April, while hometown hero, Josh Schneiderman, picked up his first Sprint Invaders win at the track.
Hot laps are scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Thursday with racing to follow! Tickets are just $10, with Seniors admitted for $7! Kids 6-10 are $2, with 5 and under FREE!
