BURLINGTON, WI (Monday, June 02, 2008) – Donny Reuvers victory in the Miller Lite 100 presented by Arby’s at Dells Raceway Park on Sunday makes him the 11th different driver in 15 ASAMT starts to record a victory. Reuvers is one of four drivers to make every ASAMT feature race to date with Jonathan Eilen, Nathan Haseleu and Travis Sauter being the others.

GOPHER DOMINATION

Reuvers win continues a streak of domination by Minnesota competitors going back to last year’s ASAMT event at Raceway Park in Shakopee, MN. This was the sixth straight win for the Minnesota group with Dan Fredrickson recording three of those wins at Shakopee, Oktoberfest, and Madison. The others include: Jake Ryan at Elko, Jonathan Eilen at Jefferson, and now Reuvers at Dells.

The last ASAMT winner outside of the Land of 10,000 Lakes was Kyle Busch back on August 7, 2007 with his win at Wisconsin International Raceway.

HARD CHARGING THROUGH THE FIELD

Of the 26 competitors who competed in the Miller Lite 100 presented by Arby’s, half of the field (13) actually finished ahead of where they started. The average of positions gained by those drivers was 4.69.

Jamie Iverson gained the most as he finished twelve spots ahead. He started 21st and finished ninth. Johnny Sauter started 15th and finished fifth to gain ten spots.

Speaking of hard charging, qualifying was also close as well. The difference between first and 41st was only 0.571 seconds with the difference from first to 20th being 0.225 seconds.

Don Turner missed making the main event on qualifying by 0.007 seconds as he posted the 17th fastest time in qualifying. He would win his qualifier heat to make the main event and finish 17th.

SAUTERS RETURN TO THEIR HOME TRACK

Tim, Travis, and Johnny Sauter each made a solid return to Dells Raceway Park on Sunday. As noted above, Johnny came home with a fifth place finish, but it was his nephew Travis who had the best finish as he finished right ahead of Uncle Johnny with a fourth place finish.

Both Travis and Johnny qualified into the main event with Travis qualifying fourth and Johnny qualifying 15th. Tim missed making the show on qualifying with his 19th place qualifying run, but won his qualifier heat to earn a starting spot, he would finish 16th in the main event.
