SAUK CENTRE, MN -- Bill Prietzel of Franklin, WI leads the Yellow Book USA Super Truck point standings heading into a two race swing into Minnesota this weekend. The 500 horsepower super trucks will compete in 40-lap features Friday night, August 6 at the Fergus Falls Raceway in Fergus Falls and Saturday night, August 7 at i-94 Raceway in Sauk Centre, MN. Both tracks are 3/8-mile banked, paved ovals. Local competition includes late models, legends, four cylinders and street stocks.

It will be possible for one driver to earn over $2,000 during the weekend with added bonus money from the Pace American Trailer company. "We had a great, nearly perfect super truck the last time we were at Fergus Falls," Prietzel said. The win at Fergus Falls was among his three victories on the traveling circuit this year. The super trucks race in Wisconsin, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. John Vig, Jr of Shakopee, MN has won two of the last three series events and could be a top challenger for the weekend. Prietzel and Vig both drive 2004 Ford super trucks. The 2003 series champion Donnie Woller of Merrill, WI is coming off his first win of the year last weekend at Pepsi Raceway Park in Tomahawk, WI.
