DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- While Jerry Robertson, of Arvada, Colo., maintained a strong lead in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Northwest Region standings, drivers throughout the region continued their efforts to match his performance on the track. John Zaretske, of Monroe, Wash., recorded his fifth win - tying Robertson for the most feature wins in the Northwest Region - at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe to stay within striking distance of Robertson's record.

Robertson, a NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series regional champion in 2000, had the weekend off as the NASCAR Elite Division, International Truck and Engine Corporation Midwest Series raced at his home track, Colorado National Speedway near Denver.

Gary Madsen, of Salt Lake City, recorded his third feature victory at Rocky Mountain Raceways in West Valley City, Utah and moved up one position in the regional standings. Scott Walker, of Prosser, Wash., won his third race at Yakima (Wash.) Speedway and is now ranked sixth in the Northwest Region standings.

RAIN EPIDEMIC? ... With 15 weeks remaining in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series season, weeks of rain in several regions of the country may have serious implications for many competitors. In order to be eligible for one of NASCAR's eight regional championships, feature division competitors must complete a minimum of 18 starts before Sept. 21. Nationwide, 177 NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series events have been rained out since March.

NICK PARKER LEADS SHORTRACK STANDINGS ... Competition in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series ShorTrack Division is underway. The ShorTrack Division includes a support class at each participating NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series track, which competes for additional prize money, regional championships and a national title - just like their feature division counterparts. This year's ShorTrack Division regional champions will each collect $2,500 in post-season awards and the ShorTrack Division national champion receives a $10,000 bonus. Nick Parker, of Kearns, Utah, leads this week's ShorTrack Division standings in the Northwest Region. Parker has five feature victories in the Super Stock division at Rocky Mountain Raceways in West Valley City, Utah. ####
