Tonight, he showed why as he collected his third American Speed Association Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment win of the season by winning the Shakopee 100 and gained valuable points on Dan Fredrickson.

“It was awesome; we had a really good car. We kind of screwed up in qualifying a little bit and I didn’t qualify as well as we should,� Reuvers stated in victory lane. “But that put on the front row but fortunately that put us on the front row which helped for the race.�

Tuesday, January 22, 2008 (Daytona Beach, FL) – The post season accolades continue to come in for 2007 ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by Echo Outdoor Power Equipment Champion, Nate Haseleu. He, along with second place finisher Donny Reuvers, was named as State Champions by Late Model Digest.

LMD Editor, Jim Carson, stated in the January 16, 2008 issue that he followed NASCAR’s new program for its Whelen All-American Series State Champion recognition, but he solely focused on the Late Model community as NASCAR’s program is open to dirt tracks and other racing divisions. Also, this was open to any Late Model driver in any series with the exception of the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series, ARCA, formerly known NASCAR West and Busch East Series. And the states indicate where the drivers lived during 2007 and not where they raced.
