Top Fives Only? 07/01/2008 With a long week of racing DPR and Willey Wilson Motorsports hit 3 races on two different tracks. Tuesday night the best of the ASCoT came into town at I-90 speedway, then Saturday at our local racing at I-90 also then Sunday we tried to tackle Husets. Tuesday night with a bad draw saw us starting 5th with some of the best in the business which included Gary Lee Maier, Wayne Johnson, Sam Hafertepe Jr. We ended up with a respectable 4th place finish, unfortantully we would end up sitting 17th in final points. That putting us 1st for the first B main, with a strong start we messed up in one corner and got passed by a few cars. “It was a fast and tough last chance race.” Ending up 4th in the B would make our night end early. However we were able to take a champions provisional and be able to start 24th in the a main. After the first 5 laps we had passed 6 cars however a red flag came and everybody was able to make changes and we would be hard charger finishing 17th. Saturday was once again at Hartford, in which we would walk away with yet another heat race win by over 6 seconds. Starting 13th in the feature we would finish a nice 5th place. “One of these weekends the breaks are going to come and we are going to win!” Stated an excited Donovan. Sunday we would try Husets. Starting 5th in the heat race is where we would finish and that was one spot short of starting on the pole. We hit the set up but everyone did and finished in 8th. The weekend of the 4th will see DPR at Rock Rapids Speedway for the $1000 to win “Bounty Win” and Saturday again at I-90 Speedway. Willey Wilson Motorsports and DPR would like to thank MetalworX Environmental Systems, PrimoGreen, West Sioux Exhaust and Brake, Trondson Motors, Ziebarth Trucking, Key Auto Sales, Simpson Race Products and Driver Websites. Without any of these we would not be able to race
Another Weekend In the Books 06/25/2008 With a total of 3 races in a 4 day period Donovan Peterson racing and Willey Wilson Motorsports ventured to 2 different tracks, which included I-90 Speedway, Husets Speedway, and then back to I-90 Speedway. “It was a fun week of racing with a lot of different cars.” Stated Donovan Peterson. Saturday saw DPR at I-90 Speedway in Hartford, SD for our weekly racing show. After another heat race win we would start 11th in the A. With a slow start we managed to finish the race in 5th, however after two cars that finished the race ahead of us got DQ’ed we were credited with 3rd place. “ Its always bummer when someone has to get DQ’ed but rules are rules.” Stated Donovan. With that 3rd place, we are now only 7 points out of the lead with hopes of taking over the points lead this weekend. Sunday we ventured over to Husets Speedway in Brandon, SD. It was a fun night of racing, with not racing there weekly we had to to start last in our heat race, in which we would finish 5th. We started the feature in 13th and would finish in 10th. Now since we have raced there twice, we have established our point average and will give Husets a try and our first win of the season this Sunday. Tuesday night we were back racing at I-90 Speedway, with the ASCS National Tour. With a strong run of 4th in our heat race we would end up 17th in overall points. The only bad thing is that they would only take the top 16 in points. With racing the B-Main we made a strong run and seemed to have a transfer spot locked but another car touched wheels and resulting in us having to use a provisional. Started the A in last place we would finish 17th in a field with WOO Regulars and the Nations best 360 drivers. Hard Charger and a car in one piece was all we could ask for. Look for DPR and Willey Wilson Motorsports again at I-90 Speedway and Husets Speedway this weekend.

Friday night saw the DPR and Willey Wilson sprint car at Slayton racing with the non wing cars. After starting in the back of a loaded heat race we managed to get 5th in a very tight heat race battle. In the feature we would line up 7th and after some yellows we worked our way up to 3rd and then ran out of laps. “It was a fun track and the last time I raced here was with my mod, I was glad to see sprint cars there,” stated Donovan Saturday Night once again saw the team at I-90 Speedway, after a strong 2nd place run in the heat race we would start 10th on a very dry track. “ It was one of the dryest tracks I have raced on, luckily we were able to get past some cars at the start,” said Donovan. As the race finished we crossed the checkers in 4th. This next week you will see DPR and Willey Wilson Motorsports at Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo, ND Thursday Night, Friday will either be at Grand Forks or Rock Rapids and Saturday will once again be at I-90 Speedway.
