Benson, Nextel Cup driver
Stremme headline ASA Challenge Series Safety-Kleen 200
on June 14
MARNE, MI - The ASA Late Model Series Challenge Division
returns home for one of the biggest events in series
history on Wednesday, June 14, when a special mid-week
extravaganza will see the superstars of the Challenge
Division make a visit to Berlin Raceway for the running
of the Safety-Kleen 200. Big names fill the field for
the event, which is expected to draw nearly 40 entries.
Because the race is being held mid-week leading up to
NASCAR's Michigan International Speedway weekend, it
affords NASCAR drivers the opportunity to make a quick
detour from Brooklyn to Marne to compete at the 7/16
mile oval track. Headlining the 200-lap feature is 1993
ASA National Tour Champion Johnny Benson Jr., a
one-time winner in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series and
current NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series regular, where he
is fourth in points. Another star heading to Marne is
NASCAR Nextel Cup Series rookie David Stremme,
the ASA National Tour rookie of the year in 2002 and
NASCAR Busch Series rookie of the year in 2003. Also
scheduled to race is Coopersville native and 3-time ASA
champion Butch Miller.
It is the first ASALMS appearance at Berlin since June
11, 2004, when 2004 Champion and Rookie of the Year
Bobby Stremme took home the win in the Berlin 100.
Stremme survived a lengthy battle with hometown favorite
and eventual 2005 Rookie of the Year Brian Campbell,
a former regular in Berlin's Coors Light Late Model
division, to score what was Stremme's first career
ASALMS Feature win. Stremme will return to the scene of
his first career win and will get the rare opportunity
to race against his older brother David Stremme.
The ASALMS was formed in 2003 after the USPRO Racing
Series formed a partnership with the American Speed
Association. The 12-race, long-distance, top-tier
Challenge Series was joined by companion divisions, the
ASALMS North and ASALMS South, in 2006.
Current ASALMS Challenge Division points leader Kelly
Bires will lead a strong contingent of racers,
including ASA veteran Peter Cozzolino; veteran
Eddie Hoffman, the winner of the 2006 ASALMS season
opener at the Music City (TN) Motorplex; and rookie
Jake Ryan, the winner of the 2006 Alamo 200 on April
1, 2006 at San Antonio (TX) Speedway. In addition, the
Patriarch of the "Young Lions of the ASALMS", Travis
Dassow, looks to challenge the likes of a pair of
16-year-olds, Landon Cassill and current ASALMS
Northern Division Points Leader Jesse Smith; and
Berlin Late Model drivers Chris Anthony and
Greg Usher are also entered in the event. One final
notable driver is Kyle Nicholas, entered to drive
a car owned by Bud Gebben of Holland. Nicholas is a
regular on the USAC Midget circuit where he races for
NASCAR star Tony Stewart.
Berlin's De-Jay Slick Truck Pro Stock division will join
the ASALMS for this special mid-week event. For more
information about all three divisions of the ASALMS, log
onto any of the three websites: for the Challenge
Division, go to www.asalatemodels.com; for the Northern
Division, log in at www.asalatemodelsnorth.com, and for
the Southern Division click on
www.asalatemodelssouth.com.
The special event will serve as a fundraiser called
"Flush The Debt" for Wright Township, to help the
township where Berlin Raceway is located to retire the
debt incurred from a sewer project. One dollar from
every ticket sold will be donated to the project. Berlin
has raised $9,522 in the past two years through the
Wednesday mid-June special event races for the cause.
The ASALMS Challenge Division events will be televised
on The Men's Channel and IDrive TV on a tape delayed
basis beginning in mid-September.
Tickets for the June 14 special event are $20 in advance
and $25 on the day of the race for adults (children ages
6 to 12 are half price and 5 and under are free).
Tickets can be purchased in several ways, including in
person at Berlin Raceway from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday and on racedays beginning at 11:15
a.m.,online at www.berlinraceway.com, and by phone to
Berlin Raceway, (616) 677-5000. For a complete schedule
