Minter to Run ASCSoT Events
at Edwards’ Tracks
MESQUITE , TX (July 18) – Kathryne Minter has never been shy
when discussing her favorite racetrack, Devil’s Bowl Speedway. She will race
in Thursday’s American Sprint Car Series on Tour event at the legendary
half-mile oval, then at two more facilities promoted by Lanny
Edwards and his family – State Fair Speedway in Oklahoma City
and Lawton Speedway – Friday and Saturday.
“I’m excited and ready
to go,” Kathryne said Wednesday. “Hopefully, when we go to the Devil’s
Bowl, we’ll run well. We’ve been really fast the last few weekends. I’m
really looking forward to racing at the Devil’s Bowl again. I don’t know
how many cars will be there since it’s a Thursday race, but I’m sure there
will be plenty of competition.
“I’ve never raced at
State Fair. We were rained out there the last time we went (in mid-June),
but I’ve heard it’s really nice. I’ve never raced at Lawton , either. It’s a high-banked, quarter-mile track, so I
figure it’s a lot like Cowtown (
Speedway ).
Minter, who ranks 24th
in the ASCSoT standings, expects to climb higher
in the points race this weekend.
“You get 75 points just
for showing up,” Kathryne said. “Depending on how many drivers who are in
front of me race, I could move up a few spots. I can really gain a lot of
national points running these three races but, mainly, I just want to run
well.”
Minter has been resting
after crashing in a July 7th ASCS Sooner Division race at Cowtown Speedway.
“I’m still a little
sore, but that’s probably because I’ve been working harder this week,”
Kathryne said. “I didn’t do much last week, but I’ll be ready to race this
weekend.”
Sean McClelland, the
team’s crew chief and the 2005 ASCS Sooner Division champion, should be
back with the team after attending his wife’s grandmother’s funeral earlier
this month.
“I think Sean will be
back for the Oklahoma
races,” Kathryne said. “He and I were working really well together before
he left to take care of family matters.”
