Lewis Wins Idaho 200

POST FALLS, IDAHO – August 6, 2007 – Bothell, Washington late model driver Gary Lewis continued his summer of victories winning the 2007 NAPA Auto Parts Idaho 200, Sunday afternoon at Stateline Speedway in Post Falls.

Lewis, coming off multiple wins including the recent Montana 200, passed early race leader Darrell Midgley of Canada before the 100-lap break to hold off defending race winner Kevin Richards at the finish line for the top prize and $4500 winner’s check.

Lewis fought off a determined Richards on the restart of the final 100-lap segment. Richards, who led laps early in the race but had to pit after a tire went down following a flagging error on track, looked for the way around the winning driver but was unable to carry enough momentum to pass on the high side exiting turn two on multiple occasions.

Lewis quickly darted past lapped traffic in the closing laps with Richards in chase for the win. South Sound Speedway champion Wes Rhodes patiently worked his up past the eight-car invert to finish third.

Late Model Challenge Series winner Garrett Evans finished fourth the last car on the lead lap. Spokane’s Shelby Thompson rallied back from an early race accident and multiple spins to finish sixth. Montana’s Agni Howell, Christian Roeder, Bodie Morton and two-time Idaho 200 winner John Gamble rounded out the top ten.

The wild, wacky, unpredictable action of Wednesday Night Fever continues every Wednesday at 6pm with the cars and superstars of the Road Runners, Fever 4’s, plus the wild and crazy Bump to Pass division. Adults are just $5.75; kids under the age of nine accompanied by adults are free.

Saturday the Northwest Outlaw Street Stock Series returns for the final time in 2007. Winged Sprint cars and Early Stocks are also scheduled to compete. Adult admission is $10; kids under the age of six are free.
