Points Leader Jody Lavender to Race in Iowa

Mooresville, NC (05/03/09) - When the 2009 racing series began, Jody Lavender was scheduled to run only 3 races. But after the first two races, Jody is leading the NASCAR Camping World East points and has added the Sunday May 17th Iowa race to his schedule. He will also race in South Boston, VA on May 30th.

The Iowa race is a combination race with drivers from both the NASCAR East and West Series competing against each other. “King Richard Petty” will be the grand marshal and Kyle Busch is scheduled to compete after competing in the NASCAR Sprint Series All-Star race in Charlotte the night before. The Iowa race is scheduled for Sunday, May 17th, at 4:15 pm and will be replayed on the Speed Channel TV network on Thursday, May 21st at 3:00 pm.

Jody said, “I look forward to going back to Iowa. Last year we had major problems but this year we have a different car, a different color, a different engine, and a motivated car owner and pit crew. We also want to thank our sponsor Jo-Jo Enterprises, a real estate investment company, and Hartsville Mini-Storage for making this possible. We’re all motivated to continue the momentum we’ve had in the first two races. We didn’t plan to run the Iowa race but winning races and a championship is something I’ve always wanted to do. We now have a good chance to do this and I’ll do all I can to make it happen.”
