It may be the halfway point for the 2011 FASTRAK SE Touring Championship, but the FASTRAK teams are full throttle in their attempt to position themselves for a touring victory and a run at the championship. The battle for the series title is just as hot as the summer heat heading into the next event at Cleveland County Speedway. Next Friday, July 15th, the fast ˝ mile in Lawndale, NC will play host to event # 7 on the tour in a $2000 To Win battle. Then on the following day the teams will head to the high banked confines of Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee for another $2000 To Win event. With a heavy touring schedule set for July, everyone will be looking for solid finishes at both tracks in hopes of positioning themselves for a championship run.

“I am excited about visiting Cleveland County”, stated FASTRAK’s Jason Atkins. ‘I think we will see one of the most diverse fields there. CCS is a central location for many racers. We could easily see teams from each of the following states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.” Cleveland County reunited with FASTRAK earlier this season and it looks to be an exciting event as it will be the first pro late model touring race at the facility with the Hoosier Racing Tire compounds.

Volunteer Speedway, who hosted round 2 of the FASTRAK SE Tour earlier this year, is gearing up for another summer shootout as Brandon Umberger will look to repeat his win earlier this season and vault back to the top of the championship standings. David Smith leads the standings heading into this blockbuster doubleheader as Umberger and Triple Crown winner Lee Cooper are tied for 2nd in the standings just 8 points behind the leader. Vic Chandler, Chad Hale, and Brian Connor are right outside the top 3 and all are looking for their first SE tour win of the season.
