GRUNDY WRAP-UP NOTES

By: Kevin Ramsell
MORRIS, IL (Monday, June 23, 2008) – The question used to be when would Donny Reuvers win an ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment event. But now, the question is who can beat the Dundas, MN driver after he won his second race in a row on Sunday as he captured the ECHO Power Blower 100 presented by ProSource Motorsports and Hype Energy Drink.

REUVERS JOINS AN ELITE CLUB

Reuvers second win makes him only the third driver 16 ASAMT events to have more than one win as he joins Dan Fredrickson and Jonathan Eilen on the list of multiple winners in the second year series.

He, along with Fredrickson, is the only two drivers to win back-to-back ASAMT wins. Last year, Fredrickson won back-to-back events at Raceway Park in Shakopee, MN and Oktoberfest at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway in West Salem, WI.

GOPHER MANIA IN THE ASAMT

The streak is now at seven in a row. That streak is the numbers of events that a Minnesota driver has won an ASAMT event going back to Fredrickson win at Raceway Park last August.

BURLINGTON, WI (Friday, June 20, 2008) – It took less than five weeks of preparation, but Art Frigo along with Bob Roper and John McKarns held the first ARTGO event on September 7, 1975 at Grundy County Speedway in Morris, IL. Today, the ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment will bring back the tradition that was started that night as five states will be represented at this Sunday’s ECHO Power Blower 100 presented by ProSource Motorsports and Hype Energy Drink.

“The most significant thing was that it was put together in less than five weeks and we had 49 cars at that event,” John McKarns recalled from his home in Florida. “It was exciting for the Chicagoland fans because it was one of the first times they got to see Wisconsin drivers take on the Chicago area competitors.”

It was Rudolph, WI competitor Tom Reffner taking home the win on that night. But, it was the official start of one of the most storied racing series in the United States.

That passion is now flowing into short track racing as ProSource Motorsports has teamed up with the ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment for this Sunday’s ECHO Power Blower 100 presented by ProSource Motorsports at Grundy County Speedway.
