Falls, ID – Brandon Riehl
(Boring, OR) won an ASA Northwest Tour event for the
second time in 2007. Both wins have been at Stateline
Speedway in Post Falls, Idaho. At the end of the Access
Road Solutions 150 BJ Tidrick (Yakima, WA) finished
second and strengthened his hold on the 2007 points
championship. Part time Tour racer Mike Longton (Moxee,
WA) finished third.
As Riehl climbed out of the car he said, “I like this
track. It feels like a home track as does Yakima
Speedway. Last nights second place in the INSSA race
helped me a lot.”
Tidrick’s comments after the race were, “We were
crap and I wanted to win but second will have to do.”
When asked if the championship was the important thing
at this time he stated, “No I want to win. I know my
Dad does not want me to say this but I want to go for
the win at Yakima. I won the last Tour race in 2006 at
Yakima Speedway.”
“I felt we had a good car at the beginning but I did
not get a good start and ended playing catch up the rest
of the night,” said Longton.
The highest finishing local driver was, the 2007 INSSA
point leader, Dave Garber (Spokane, WA)
who finished fifth.
Riehl took the lead on lap 31 of the 150 and was pulling
away at the end. Second in points at the beginning of
the night Kelly Tanner (Auburn, WA) got into the back of
Dan Garber (Spokane, WA) in traffic and with the ensuing
long stop finished tenth and slipped from 1-point back
to 37-points in third. A not so good night for Jay Sauls
(Puyallup, WA) moved him from third to second in points
32 back of Tidrick.
Next up for the ASA Aero Exhaust Northwest Tour is the
150-lap season finale at Yakima Speedway on Sunday,
September 2, 2007. A large field of competitors are
expected to help end the turn around year for the
23-year old Northwest Tour.
