Kim Lang Accepts Trophy for Winning NASCAR Mini-Stock Main

Lang Wins NASCAR Mini Stock Main

Monroe, WA (July 19, 2008): Kim Lang finished building the new car a 6:00pm and rushed to the track in time to win her first NASCAR Whelen All American Series Mini-Stock main in over three years at Evergreen Speedway. Rick Dietz won the NASCAR Pawn Exchange Figure-Eight main. The NASCAR Stinger Eight Main was won by point leader Mike Middleton. Rick Palmer made a late race pass to win the SVR Hornet main. Finishing the night in victory circle was the Crash-Car main winner Lance ‘Hammerhead’ O’Grain.

As she climbed from her winning car Lang was all smiles and a few tears were mixed in. At one time she built a 9-second lead over point’s leader Mark Weedin. Weedin brought out a late caution when he went off the track in turn one. This had the field lined up behind Lang for the five lap shoot out. Once again she was able to jump out to a comfortable lead on her way to the win.

Dietz waited until the last lap last turn to make a pass on Quinton Boreson to win the Super Figure Eight 35-lap main. Boreson led with three laps to go when he closed on lapped traffic. This traffic slowed him enough for Dietz to make the last turn heroics.

Following up last weeks win Mike Middleton strengthened his point lead with a strong win in the Stinger Eight main.

Next up at Evergreen Speedway is the Washington 500 on Saturday July 26 featuring the NASCAR Les Schwab Tires Bombers, ASA Aero Exhaust Northwest Tour, NASCAR Speedway Chevrolet Super Stocks and NASCAR Camping World West Series all on the .667-mile oval.

The night ends with one of NASCAR’s premier divisions the West Series concludes with a 150-lap event.
