Casebolt Racing caps successful western swing at La Salle and Leads Lucas Oil Points

RICHMOND, IN (May 21, 2008) - After a 4 race swing through Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois Casebolt Racing leads the Lucas Oil points for the first time this season.  Of the four races the worst finish was an eleventh place finish at La Salle Speedway in La Salle, IL. “We weren’t very happy with our run at La Salle, after the heat race we thought we had one of the better cars and I guess I just didn’t quite go far enough set-up wise to be competitive in the feature”, stated Steve. 

At La Salle the team qualified 2^nd fastest out of the 39 car field and ran 2^nd in their heat race after being inverted to the third starting spot.  Steve started 6^th in the main event and struggled throughout the event to keep his Dixie Chopper/Fatheadz Sunglasses sponsored machine towards the front of the field. By the time the checkers flew for Tim McCreadie, Steve had lost 5 positions and ended up eleventh in the final rundown.  The other 3 races of the swing saw the team finish 5^th twice and 4^th at the Diamond Nationals.
