After spending the last 3 days following the World Products Great American Stock Car Shootout Series in the hot and humid temperatures i decided to spend today crunching some numbers and bring you some stats for the 3 day Stock Car Shootout Swing that started at "The Beaver" Buena Vista Raceway in Alta then when on to the Marshalltown Speedway before wrapping it up at the "Mahaska County Monster" Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa.
I have to admit the racing was great in Alta and Marshalltown with late race passes and Oskaloosa had some good racing despite the show having to run during the day!
