Bradley Galedridge Takes Stan Fox Memorial 50   Tracy Hines Sets New World Record By Bryan Gapinski

(Slinger, WI); May 17, 2008 - California's Bradley Galedridge won the 2nd annual Kubota Stan Fox Classic, Mopar USAC National Midget Car Championship feature, Saturday Night at Slinger Speedway. The event was the second ever for USAC at the track, and the first midget race run at the facility since 1989.

Four cautions during the first 24 laps kept the field tightly bunched with Galedridge easily leading the field after each restart. Chad Boat closed to Galedridge's rear bumper at the completion of lap 30. Galedridge began to encounter lapped traffic on the 38th circuit. The lapped traffic slowed Galedridge's pace, while Boat made several attempts to pass for the lead. The remainder of the top five also closed down on the pair.

Galedridge driving Alfred Galedridge Sr. owned Gerhardt/Mopar#29, finally cleared the lapped cars with three laps remaining and scored a three-car length victory over Boat, series points leader Tracy Hines, Bobby East and Kody Swanson. Earlier in the evening during qualifications Hines turned a lap of 10.845 seconds around the high banked quarter-mile paved oval. The time established a new Worlds Record for a midget race car on a quarter-mile asphalt oval track. Jason Leffler held the previous mark of 11.406 seconds set on June 17, 1998 at Anderson (Ind.) Speedway.
