Josh Richards Tops Mohawk 100-Lapper, Gains On Extreme Tough Challenge Title
CONCORD, NC – Sept. 2, 2010 – Josh Richards scored a major victory on Wednesday night in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series “Battle At Eastern Door” at Mohawk International Raceway.
For the first time in his career, the 22-year-old defending series champion won a 100-lap event and moved up the standings in the LaCrosse Footwear Extreme Tough Challenge.
“This was just one great night,” said Richards, of Shinnston, W.Va. “It’s an awesome feeling to finally win a 100-lap race after seven years of trying – and getting some more points for the LaCrosse Extreme Tough Challenge makes the night even better. We have a few more LaCrosse shows left to go and hopefully we’ll run good in them to get to the top of the points standings.”
Through five Extreme Tough Challenge events for the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and five events for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, Tony Stewart Racing’s Donny Schatz, the four-time and defending World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, remains the overall leader by four points over World of Outlaws Late Model Series star Shane Clanton. Through the 10 events, 19 different drivers have earned Extreme Tough Challenge points.
The World of Outlaws Late Model Series drivers are back in action this weekend in another LaCrosse Extreme Tough Challenge event at Tri-State Speedway in Franklin, Pa.
The Extreme Tough Challenge features 16 overall events – eight per series – where drivers who are competing full-time in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series or the World of Outlaws Late Model Series earn points toward the championship, which will be decided at the World of Outlaws World Finals in November at The Dirt Track at Charlotte. The top five finishers no matter the series will share a $15,000 point fund, and the winning driver will receive the Extreme Tough Challenge champion trophy.
Also, at each Extreme Tough Challenge event, LaCrosse will distribute keepsake posters as well as provide hat and t-shirt giveaways. Fans can get involved at every race through a unique Extreme Tough competition with the chance to win a pair of LaCrosse boots.
