8th Annual Liberty Station Racer Preview & Car Show
April 21, 2012 - Arlington, MN: The morning started out pretty nice, but then it started to mist, then light rain. We did have some hardy racers show up from all parts of Minnesota including Rice, Redwing, Lakeville, Mounds View and even Arlington.
Because of the rain, test and tune had to be postponed.
Thanks to all who made the effort to bring their cars and things to sell.

RUSTY WALLACE RETURNING TO ASA ROOTS AT MILWAUKEE MILE
Former NASCAR Champion to Compete in The Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 presented by RaceTeamGear.com
MOORESVILLE, NC (MARCH 22, 2012)--Officials of the ASA Midwest Tour and Rusty Wallace, Incorporated announced today that former NASCAR and ASA Champion, Rusty Wallace, will compete in the June 12th Swiss Colony Howie Lettow Memorial 150 presented by RaceTeamGear.com at The Milwaukee Mile. The race honors the late Lettow, a former standout ASA crew chief who mentored many young drivers. The event will benefit the MACC Fund, dedicated to childhood cancer and blood disorder research.
The June event will mark only Wallace's third time at the helm of a race car in competition, following his 2005 retirement from NASCAR's premier series. Wallace will pilot a No. 66 super late model in the event; the car was previously campaigned in 2012 by his youngest son, Steve. The younger Wallace is also scheduled to compete in the Milwaukee event, piloting a sister car to his father's.
The elder Wallace, the 1989 NASCAR and 1983 ASA Champion, has no lack of experience at the Milwaukee Mile. Wallace's five victories at Milwaukee in USAC and ASA competition mark one of the most successful stock car careers in the history of "The Mile."
Said Wallace, "I'm really excited about racing at Milwaukee again; I have a lot of great memories of that place from over the years. While I'm looking forward to having a lot of fun, believe me, we're going there to try and win the race too. There are a lot of great race fans in the Midwest and hopefully the ASA Midwest Tour will put on a great show for them, all the while benefitting a good cause."
Rusty and Steve Wallace will join other NASCAR drivers such as David Ragan, David Stremme and Tony Raines in the event, with others to be named soon. In addition to attending the race, fans can get up close and personal with the drivers at a pre-race VIP event, including a question and answer session and a private dinner with the drivers. Only 500 tickets for the VIP event will be sold. Fans can purchase tickets for the Howie Lettow Memorial 150 and the pre-race VIP event by visiting http://www.asarace.com.
