Point Chases: This is what makes the Legendary 100 at Cedar Lake a must see event. The DTRA point structure utilizes a driver’s 10 best shows thru July 31st. Afterwards the top 10 drivers are locked into their own group and no further than 5 points behind the guy in front of them. The DTRA then uses the 5 best shows thru August and September with the Legendary 100 being the last point event. Fans get to see the final point chases unfold in front of them. The Friday night Late Model qualifying feature in 2006 saw a battle between the top 5 to determine the 2nd thru 5th positions for final DTRA points. Those that were there can attest to the importance and excitement these races generate. This year the points battles are even closer coming into this all important weekend.
- Arnie’s Sleds & Trailers Late Models: It all comes down to this! Brent Larson and defending champ Pat Doar are tied up going into this weekend. No other race all year matters as much as these.
- Bernick’s Pepsi Modifieds: defending DTRA champion Dave Cain holds a very slim 3 point lead over the V2 machine of Joey Jensen. Jason Miller in the 12M, last years Legendary 100 winner looks to keep 3rd position from the others.
- Winners Go Goodyear Super Stocks: Defending champion Ryan Aho holds the top spot while Larry Boumeester, Mike Bellefuille, Mike Weber and Dale Gangl round out the top 5. Those positions are up for grabs at the Legendary 100.
- Merchant Card Intl. Midwest Modifieds: Greg Chesley has 1st place handled while the battle for 2nd, 3rd & 4th couldn’t be any closer with 2 points separating Andy Jones, Ryan Olson & defending champ Dan Wheeler!
