Memorial Well Represented
Schererville, Ind. (June 20, 2006) - Five former track
champions are set to do battle with top stock car pilots from the
Champion Racing Association (CRA) Super Series as the late
 model
tour visits Illiana Motor Speedway this Saturday evening for the 5th
Annual Elmer Musgrave Memorial 100 presented by Texas Corral.
Illiana "top guns" Pat Kelly, John Nutley, Dave Weltmeyer, Boris
Jurkovic and Mike White, all with Illiana late model track
championships on their racing resumes, will face off against the
"cream of the crop" of CRA Super Series stars, including Scott
Hantz, Jeff Lane, Eddie Van Meter, J.R. Roahrig, current points
leader Tommy St. John and Midwest late model ace Nathan Haseleu.
Kelly is the defending Illiana champion and also won the crown in
2000. Nutley captured top honors in 2004, while Weltmeyer won in
2003, Jurkovic in 2002 with White putting together a string of three
championships from 1997 through 1999.
Also entered is Jack Kalwasinski, who currently leads Illiana's
limited late model point standings. Kalwasinski will do "double
duty" during the night, competing both in the CRA competition, as
well as racing in the 35-lap limited late model feature. A field
of close to 30 entries is expected for the 100-lap battle on the
half-mile paved oval. Four cylinder Pure Stocks will also be on the
racing card.
The event is held in the memory of the late Elmer Musgrave, who
competed and won in both local and national stock car competition.

champion, will be on hand Saturday for a special autograph session.
