The 2007 ASA Late Model Series Northern Division Presented by GM Performance Parts Shootout Season Championships are this Saturday October 6, 2007 during the 38th annual Oktoberfest Weekend at the LaCrosse (WI) Fairgrounds Speedway, located East of the Minnesota/Wisconsin state line in West Salem, Wisconsin.
Team Finley Racing will be heading out to the fast 0.545 Mile Progressively Banked Paved Oval, but once again without its’ primary driver; 15-year-old Chad Finley, who is still recovering from a severe break to his Left Thumb suffered in a crash at the Hawkeye Downs (IA) Speedway back on September 1, 2007.
The break to Finley’s thumb tore it completely away from the joint and still hasn’t healed enough to allow the DeWitt, Michigan teenager to compete forcing Car Owner/Crew Chief, Jeff Finley, Chad’s Father to park his son for the remainder of the 2007 season.
With Team Finley Racing sitting 11th in the ASALMS Northern Division Owners Points thanks to the efforts of Columbus, Ohio veteran, Robbie Pyle and Kansas City, Missouri teenager, Mike Vannoy Jr., in the event that Chad has missed, the team will head to Oktoberfest Weekend with a driver they feel very comfortable with behind the wheel.
Leslie, Michigan veteran, Tom Fedewa will climb into the drivers seat this weekend and fill in for the injured 15-year-old during the Oktoberfest 100. Fedewa is no stranger to the traveling Late Model circuits as a former competitor in the now defunct Iceman Super Car Series. Over the last several seasons, Fedewa has raced in the Auto Value Super Sprints Series where he has won Three Series Championships in 2002, 2003, and more recently in 2006.
