Multiple winners expected

There will be at least two winners during Saturday's Inland Northwest Super Stock Association (INSSA) race at Stateline Speedway.

First, at the end of the Physical Therapy Associates 100, there will be a winner crowned in INSSA's third race of 2006.

In addition, the night's activities will draw awareness and benefit Morning Star Boys Ranch. Physical Therapy Associates, operated by INSSA driver and former Spokane Chiefs hockey player Jeff Fenton, will use the track's hospitality area to host an event for Morning Star.

The evening also has a fitting military presence.

In honor of the Memorial Day weekend, the Idaho Army National Guard will distribute American flags to the first 500 kids younger than 12.

SPC Jonathon Pemp, a Purple Heart recipient from Charlie Company 116th Engineer Battalion in Post Falls, will be the honorary flagman.

Even though it's early, there's a points race shaping up. Dan Garber (293 points), winner of the last INSSA race, holds the lead over brother Dave (276).

Mike Behar, victorious in the season opener, is third at 269, with Andy Brown a point back in fourth place. 

Qualifying begins at 6 p.m. with racing at 7:30. The visiting Outlaw Compacts and Wednesday Night Fever regulars, the Fever 4's, get prime-time exposure.
