Winchester, IN (July 19, 2006) – Winchester Speedway is ready to crown its second King Of The Wings in the second edition of the Winged Sprint Car Challenge on the famous High Banks this Sunday, July 23^rd. This year’s event will feature the best winged sprint car drivers in the region in an event co-sanctioned by the Auto Value Super Sprint Series and the Hoosier Outlaw Sprint Series. The event counts as a point’s event in the season championship for both winged sprint car series.

When it was all said and done it was very easy to determine who the first King Of The Wings was when Greenfield, Indiana’s Cameron Dodson raced his way into history, first by breaking Hank Lowers track record in qualifying, then dominated the First King Of the Wings Sprint Car Challenge last season by leading 28 of the 30 laps. The 17 year old put on an impressive display of racing ability by taking his car all over the racetrack to pass cars. Dodson lapped everyone but second place finisher Dave Steele, he even used the flat of the track in turn one to make a pass on two slower cars, the move brought the entire grandstand to it’s feet as Cameron showed no fear of the High Banks of Winchester Speedway.

Dodson gave the fans an extra show after the race. Dodson exited his car still in full uniform including his helmet, ran into the aisles of the main grandstand giving as many fans as he could a slap on the hand to remember his victory. Dodson was then awarded the winners crown, which he proudly displayed in victory lane with track owner Charlie Shaw. The win was Dodson’s first of the 2005 race season. Finishing third was Auto Value Sprint Series veteran Tom Fedewa, fourth was former USAC Sprint competitor Brad Armstrong and fifth was Shane Butler.

Dodson has turned his racing focus from sprint cars to stockcars for the 2006 season. Dodson is competing fulltime in the Hooters Pro Cup Northern Series were he is currently 12^th in season points and one of the leading rookie competitors in that division. With the Hooters North series off, Dodson will be able to "defend his crown" in this Sunday’s show.

"Yes, we will definitely be there to go for the crown again," remarked Dodson. "Winchester is one of my favorite tracks as well as my team owner Dick Myers.  We are really looking to Sunday and racing at Winchester Speedway again!"

Tommy Fedewa is the current points leader with the Auto Value Super Sprint Series, while Greg Wheeler leads the points in the Hoosier Outlaw Sprint Series, both are expected for Sunday’s event. Other top winged sprint car drivers expected are former track record holder Hank Lower, former Little 500 winner Jeff Bloom, Tim Cox, Kevin Feeney, Jason Blonde, Curt Shumaker, Ron Koehler, Richie Jacobs, Bill Tyler, Ryan Katz, Geoff Kaiser, and Hud Cone driving for Steve Stewart Motorsports out of Salem, Indiana with victories at Salem Speedway with the Auto Value Sprint Series and Hoosier Outlaw Sprint Series.
