BOSS Prepares For Legendary Doubleheader

The word “legendary” is often overused. In the case of this weekends Mo Vaughn Transport / BOSS doubleheader, the word fits. The very definition of legendary (1. of, described in, or based on legends 2. remarkable enough to be famous, very well known) describes both facilities that are set to host the tour.

Auto racing first began at the site of Limaland Speedway in the late 1930’s and operated for many decades under the name “Allentown Speedway”. The track has seen the likes of Ferkel, Hewitt, Dawson and hundreds more famous names in the annals of the sport. On the other hand, Lawrenceburg Speedway can trace its racing roots back to 1910 when auto racing first began at the Dearborn County Fairgrounds. The current track has existed since 1950 and has hosted many famous last names as well like Gaines, Gilstrap, Vogler, and the list goes on.

This Friday and Saturday night, the stars and cars of the MVT / BOSS series hope to add to the long legacy of both facilities. Following 2 rainouts, the tour finally opened the 2015 season at Mercer Raceway Park in Pennsylvania on May 23rd with 30 cars on hand. Local driver Brandon Matus scored the upset win in what became a survival test on the tricky 3/8 mile surface.

Defending BOSS champion “The Magic Man” Mike Miller will lead the series regulars into battle for the weekend after finishing 3rd at Mercer. Tour newcomers Cooper Clouse and Kent Wolters scored impressive top 5 finishes in the opener and appear to be legitimate threats to steal the title. Brandon Spithaler appeared to be on his way to his 3rd Mercer BOSS win when mechanical troubles bit him. No less than 20 drivers are aiming for the 2015 championship and this weekends events will play a key role in determining who stays in the running.
