(May
19,
2013) - Pay Less Little 500 week
kicks off on Monday, May 20 at Anderson
Speedway with a double header featuring the
Must See Racing Supermodified Series and
International Outlaw Figure 8 Series (IOFS).
The MSR Supermodifieds will be making their
second appearance at the quarter-mile oval
in the short history of the series. Last
October, when it appeared Kyle Edwards was
going to settle for a second place finish,
leader Charlie Schultz tangled with a lapped
car with 22 laps remaining.
Schultz dominated the first 78 laps of the
event and looked like he was leaving with
the trophy. Schultz made contact with the
lapped car of Don Johnson on the front
straight, getting slightly airborne and
rolling to a stop in the infield with
suspension damage.
That gave Edwards, running a distant second
at the time the lead and put Jimmy McCune
back on the lead lap for the restart. From
there Edwards pulled away to win by
2.5-seconds over McCune followed by Bandon
Fisher, Sondi Eden and Jon Henes.
The MSR Supermodifieds made their season
debut on Sunday, May 19 at Winchester
Speedway with Dave McKnight earning the
victory over Mike McVetta followed by Jimmy
McCune, Kyle Edwards, and Brian Gingrass
rounding out the top five.
Monday’s event will be the first of four
appearances of the IOFS at Anderson Speedway
in 2013. The additional dates will be
announced in the coming days. The National
Crown is included as one of the expected
dates that will be announced.
Due to the extra media attention surrounding
this event, a strong field of drivers is
expected to participate. Expected entrants
include: Eddie Van Meter, Ben Tunny, Charlie
Hargraves, Nick Moore, Manny Aguilar, Curtis
Chapman, Richard Dickens, Chuckie Hargraves,
Chris Green, Doug Greig, Dane Laster,
Preston Maxwell, Mike Riddle Jr., Jeff
Shackleford, Jeff Swinford, and Larry
Swinford among others.
WWW.XSAN.TV will stream the event live
across the world as a Pay Per View event.
The PPV will be a high-quality production
with an announcing crew and multi-cameras.
This will be a great way for IOFS fans to
catch the event if they are unable to
attend. The PPV is only $19.95 and can be
ordered the day of the event by going to
WWW.XSAN.TV and purchasing a one day ticket.
The Must See Racing Supermodified Series
portion of the night’s racing action will
also be included in the PPV.
Eddie Van Meter is the most recent IOFS
winner after he picked up the IOFS Southern
Figure 8 World Finals at Showtime Speedway
in Pinnelas Park, Fla. in February. Van
Meter is currently one of the hottest Figure
8 drivers in the country entering the May 20
event at Anderson. In addition to his
Florida win, Van Meter claimed last season’s
IOFS National Crown and won most recently at
the Indianapolis Speedrome on May 4.
