RIEHL WINS ASA
AERO EXHAUST NORTHWEST TOUR ACCESS ROAD SOLUTIONS 150
August 25, 2007 Post
Falls, ID – Brandon Riehl (Boring, OR) won an
ASA Northwest Tour event for the second time in 2007. Both wins have been
at Stateline Speedway in Post Falls, Idaho. At the end of the Access Road
Solutions 150 BJ Tidrick (Yakima, WA) finished second and strengthened his
hold on the 2007 points championship. Part time Tour racer Mike Longton (Moxee,
WA) finished third.

As Riehl climbed out of the car he said, “I like this track. It feels like
a home track as does Yakima Speedway. Last nights second place in the
INSSA race helped me a lot.”
Tidrick’s comments after the race were, “We were crap and I wanted to win
but second will have to do.” When asked if the championship was the
important thing at this time he stated, “No I want to win. I know my Dad
does not want me to say this but I want to go for the win at Yakima. I won
the last Tour race in 2006 at Yakima Speedway.”
“I felt we had a good car at the beginning but I did not get a good start
and ended playing catch up the rest of the night,” said Longton.
The highest finishing local driver was, the 2007 INSSA point leader, Dave
Garber (Spokane, WA)
who finished fifth.
Riehl took the lead on lap 31 of the 150 and was pulling away at the end.
Second in points at the beginning of the night Kelly Tanner (Auburn, WA)
got into the back of Dan Garber (Spokane, WA) in traffic and with the
ensuing long stop finished tenth and slipped from 1-point back to
37-points in third. A not so good night for Jay Sauls (Puyallup, WA) moved
him from third to second in points 32 back of Tidrick.
Next up for the ASA Aero Exhaust Northwest Tour is the 150-lap season
finale at Yakima Speedway on Sunday, September 2, 2007. A large field of
competitors are expected to help end the turn around year for the 23-year
old Northwest Tour.
