SPANAWAY, Washington -- The Limited Late Model Racing Series heads south to Douglas County Speedway in Roseburg, Oregon for the “Southern Swing 50”.

Reaching the halfway point of the 2008 championship season, the LLMRS makes it’s southern most stop on the Northwest circuit during the 4th of July holiday weekend. With many trends emerging in the series, some new faces have shown through, and some new names have made headlines.

The #10 hi-Tech Collision / Timco Inc. Chevy Monte Carlo of John Boyatt continues to lead the point standings, having held it from the very first race. The big surprise is Boyatt’s narrow margin at this point in the season, coming to the halfway point only 20 points ahead. Boyatt has continued his LLMRS dominance, taking 2 Fast Time awards and winning the first Main Event of the 2008 season.

The biggest buzz on the LLMRS season continues to circle around the 16 year old Dylan Caldwell and his #40 Chevy Monte Carlo. Staking a claim in the 2008 championship standings, Caldwell trails Boyatt, holding down the 2nd spot. The young phenom continues to pressure Boyatt, staying within striking distance of the championship lead.

Another big surprise for the 2008 season is rookie Jeff Mullins in the #08 Chevy Monte Carlo. Mullins currently stands in the 3rd spot in the championship standings, proving that he too is a contender.

Returning for 2008, “Terrible” Tim McDougald has proved that his team is no slouch when it comes race day either. McDougald and his #68 KMB Design / Print-NW / Ringers Gloves Toyota Camry tore on to the 2008 scene, winning the season’s first Trophy Dash. After early mechanical troubles left him deep in the point standings, McDougald has rebounded, mostly off his Main Event win during the previous race, to find himself with a firm hold on the 4th spot.

With the #40 Eastco Machining / VersaTech / Clyde West / T&T Draggin' Wagon Pontiac Grand Prix of Bob Hays set to return to the series as well as the #21 of Rick Gerard, the #51 & #52 of Lynch Racing & the #77 Yakima Air Tool / Travel Restaurant & Lounge Pontiac Grand Prix of Vic Beard all expected to attend, you can bet there will be plenty of fireworks on the tack as well as off the track.

Be sure to catch the mid season mark on the 2008 LLMRS tour, as this high energy, action packed series rolls through “the southern swing” of the Northwest during their visit to Douglas County Speedway, July 5th, 2008.
