Schrader on Bumper Streak

POST FALLS, IDAHO - April 30, 2009 - Joel Schrader muscled his trash can themed Bump to Pass car to win number four during week four of Wednesday Night Fever at Stateline Speedway. Schrader and car owner Vern Dorsey of Spokane remain undefeated in the division.

Schrader took the lead from dash winner Travis Cox at a lap seven double file race reset to take the win in the main event. Yvonne Lifsey finished second followed by Noah Hamlin and "Superbird" driver Len Clother.

Bruce Garber navigated through a tough early race caution fest to take the 30-lap main event in the Fever 4's over fast time driver Rich Hatton. Justin Lovitt took a strong third with dash winner KC Garber and Chris Kellogg rounding out the top five.

The event was red flagged on lap-8 when Corey Husk and heat winner Terry Auckerman collided hard in the backstretch. Chris McIlveen won a heat.

Joey Murfin, Tim Benn, and Scott Rupert picked up feature wins in the Road Runners. Benn and Rupert have three victories so far this season. Other Road Runner winners included Steve Murfin, Eric Harris, Mike Hall, and Jason Thomas.

Saturday the late models of the ICAR Racing Series take to the track along with Outlaw Compacts and Hobby cars. Events start a new start time of 6pm. General admission is $10 for adults; kids under six are free.

The wild, wacky, unpredictable action of Wednesday Night Fever continues every Wednesday at 6pm with the cars and superstars of the Road Runners, Fever 4's, plus the wild and crazy Bump to Pass division. Adults are just $5.75; kids under the age of nine accompanied by adults are free.
