Weltmeyer Heads List for Seventh Annual Musgrave 100

By: Tom White

Schererville, IN (June 17, 2008) - Dave Weltmeyer heads the list of top drivers competing in Saturday nights Elmer Musgrave 100 presented by Texas Corral Grill & Saloon. Weltmeyer “The Dyer Flyer” worked his way up to the front with less than 10 laps to go to score the win in last year’s event. Other entries include three time winner Eddie Hoffman driving the TK Racing Ford Fusion, 2007 Illiana track champion Jeff Cannon in specially prepared Wayne Govert Monte Carlo, Four Time Champion Mike White, and Jack Kalwasinski.

The CRA Super Series will again sanction this event pitting their top “touring stars” including Scott Hantz- Angola, IN. John Van Doorn- Coopersville, MI. Rick Turner-Hartsville, TN. against “Chicagoland’s Best.”

The Nights program will also feature the Schepel Performance Late Models in a special 35 Lap main event along with the Wild & Crazy 4 cylinder pure stocks, which are sure to provide plenty of exciting racing action.

The Family Fun Zone will be in operation for the first time ever at the Illiana Motor Speedway and will be located in the Midway behind the new grandstands. The CRA Family Fun Zone is a special place for fans attending the series events this season to spend some entertaining time with their family. The CRA Family Fun Zone includes a #0 Brookside Motorsports CRA Super Series late model show car that fans are able to get in and get their picture taken. There are also several family friendly games and lots of prizes that were given away to the kids and some of the adults as well.

The event is held in the memory and honor of the late Elmer Musgrave, who passed away in 2000. Musgrave was a long-time Chicagoland stock car competitor, racing at tracks throughout the Midwest and the Chicago area. His son, Ted Musgrave, the 2005 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion, will be on hand Saturday for a special autograph session.
