WHITE BECOMES FOURTH DIFFERENT IOFS WINNER Plymouth, IN - July 11, 2009 - Casey White earned his first career International Outlaw Figure 8 Series (IOFS ) feature win Saturday night at Plymouth, IN Speedway. He becomes the fourth different winner in as many events in 2009. The evening began with a new track record. Eddie VanMeter earned the Edco Welding Fast Time Award with a lap of 18.623 seconds around the 3/8 mile Figure 8 coarse. Heat races went to Charlie Hargraves and Rich Fenwick. When the feature began, pole sitter Jeff Hizer's night got off to a rough start as he was involved in a crash on the opening lap. When the race finally began Jeff Shackleford found himself leading the first 1/4 of the event. Shackleford was being trailed closely by White and VanMeter. VanMeter was forced to the pits with a flat left rear tire prior to the half way point. White then took command of the event for good building a small lead the rest of the way. Shackleford and Van Meter battled for second place until the checkered flag with VanMeter coming out on top. Fourth place went to Chris Green while current point leader, Doug Greig, rounded out the top five. Richard Dickens earned the highest finishing stock award with his seventh place finish. The IOFS will not be in action again until August 15 when the series returns to Plymouth Speedway. The event will be round #5 of the IOFS 2009 season schedule. OFFICIAL FINISH: 1. Casey White2.
