Stock Car Shootout this Saturday at DCRP!

 

Lonnie Wheatley, DODGE CITY, Kan. (July 14, 2020) – Dodge City Raceway Park fires back to action this weekend with the $1,000-to-win Stock Car Shootout presented by Winner’s Circle Feedyards and Factory Direct Fireworks on Saturday night atop the 3/8-mile clay oval in southwest Kansas.

 

Along with the IMCA Stock Cars it will also be a full slate of championship chase action for the Hambelton Racing DCRP Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Modifieds and IMCA Hobby Stocks.

 

Saturday’s racing action gets under way at 7:30 p.m.

 

Last year’s special event for the Stock Cars evolved into a true “Shootout” with Hill City’s Kyle Pfeifer battling past Jason Rogers in the closing rounds to secure the win.

 

While Lamar, Colorado’s Angel Munoz is the reigning IMCA Stock Car champion at DCRP and has frequented victory lane more than any other driver since 2012 with 23 overall wins, Hays shoe Troy Burkhart is out to the early lead in this year’s points chase.

 

Burkhart won the season opener on June 20 and then finished second behind race winner Gregg Schell most recently on July 2.

 

Schell is just four points behind Burkhart in the Stock Car points chase with Chris Oliver, past track champion Michael Pepper and Ondre Rexford also among the current top five.

 

Others out to early point leads include Zach Blurton in the IMCA Sprint Car ranks, Kale Beavers in IMCA Modifieds, Luke Stallbaumer in IMCA Sport Modifieds and Tathan Burkhart in IMCA Hobby Stocks.

 

Drivers in all classes note that DCRP will begin using Westhold transponders this Saturday night.  Those already with Westhold transponders may use their own while the track will have transponders available for purchase or rent for those that need them.

 

Last year’s IMCA Stock Car Shootout finish was as follows:  1. 54p-Kyle Pfeifer, 2. 37-Jason Rogers, 3. 52s-Angel Munoz, 4. 25p-Mike Petersilie, 5. 16-Will Bauer, 6. 3z-Mark Zorn, 7. 52T-Travis Baird, 8. 33-Marlin Hogie, 9. F0-Anthony Finch, 10. 97x-Ondre Rexford, 11. 99-Gerald Walker, 12. 91b-Richard Knoll, 13. 25x-Troy Burkhart, 14. 57-Dalton Bauer, 15. 21-Josh Siebert, 16. 22-Donald Kaup, 17. 94b-Brandon Ballard, 18. 3-Chris Oliver, 19. 20-Tyler Walker, 20. 42-Zach McLemore, 21. 38-Shaylan Holloway.
