On Friday evening for the “North Dakota Governor’s Cup 30” at the Red River
Valley Speedway in West Fargo, ND Kid Rocket finished third in his heat and
11th in the main event. When night two and a new program was presented, the
“North Dakota Governor’s Cup 50” at the Red River Valley Speedway Kid Rocket
snared a fourth in his heat and was running near the top five when an
incident resulted in Kid Rocket spinning on lap 41. Kid Rocket went to the
tail and fought his way up to 12th when the checkers waved.
Up next for Kid Rocket is the crown jewel of Cedar Lake Speedway’s schedule,
the 18th ANNUAL USA NATIONALS that will run Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,
August 4, 5, and 6, and will pay the winner $40,000. For the first time the
event will be sanctioned by the Stacker 2 World of Outlaws Late Model
Series. The big weekend starts off Thursday with a full show of modifieds,
super stocks, midwest modifieds and street stocks along with Late Model
practice. The action continues on Friday with time trials, heat races and
dashes for the WoO Late Models and a full show of late models. Time trials
for the WoO cars will be conducted in groups instead of one car at a time.
The dashes will take the top finishers in heat races, scramble their
starting positions, and their finishing positions will determine the lineup
of the front rows for the $40,000 to win feature on Saturday night.
Saturday’s finale will include the semi-features and the huge $40,000 to win
feature for the WoO portion of the show. |
