Chris Simpson and his #32 Dirt Late Model team entered a trio
of $2,000 to win Corn Belt Clash Series showdowns from August
25-27 in the states of Iowa and Minnesota! During the three-race
stretch, Chris notched a pair of Top Five finishes and three
Top Ten performances. On Wednesday night at the Cedar County
Raceway in Tipton, Iowa, Chris wound up seventh in the final
rundown. At the Highway 3 Raceway in Allison, Iowa on Thursday
evening, Chris started eighth on the grid and passed five
competitors en route to a strong third place effort behind
only winner Kurt Kile and runner-up Chad Simpson. In the finale
on Friday at the Chateau Raceway in Lansing, Minnesota, the
Oxford, Iowa native recorded a stellar runner-up finish in
the $2,000 to win A-Main behind only winner Brad Waits!

The
Chris Simpson Racing team invaded the Batesville Motor Speedway
in Locust Grove, Arkansas on Friday and Saturday, August 20-21
for the 18th Annual 'Topless 100.' The Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series once again sanctioned the most popular topless
race in the country and a $40,000 top prize was up for grabs.
Chris Simpson timed in eighteenth fastest in Group A during
qualifying on Friday night and later ran sixth in his stacked
heat race. When the racing action resumed at Batesville on
Saturday evening, Chris ran inside of the top five early in
his B-Main, but later retired in the sixteenth position. Unfortunately,
the Oxford, Iowa native was unable to transfer into the 100-lap
'Topless 100.'

Chris Simpson and his #32 team had two races on their schedule
last week in the states of Iowa and Minnesota. On Tuesday
night, August 10, the West Liberty Raceway in West Liberty,
Iowa played host to a $10,000 to win 'Tornado Tuesday' showdown.
After running third in heat race action, Chris had some problems
in the A-Main and wound up fifteenth in the final rundown.
Friday's $2,000 to win Corn Belt Clash Series race scheduled
for the Chateau Raceway in Lansing, Minnesota was then won
by Mother Nature.

The
Chris Simpson Racing team trekked north to the legendary Cedar
Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin from August 5-7 for
the 'USA Nationals' weekend. On Thursday night, a $5,000 to
win tune-up race was held at CLS. Chris Simpson timed in twenty-seventh
fastest in qualifying and later ran fourth in both his heat
race and his B-Main. Unfortunately, those finishes narrowly
kept him out of the 40-lap unsanctioned main event.
Things went much better for the #32 team on Friday and Saturday
during the 23rd Annual 'USA Nationals,' which was sanctioned
this year by the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. Chris
qualified twenty-fifth quickest during WOOLMS time trials
and later grabbed the third and final transfer spot through
his stacked heat race on Friday evening. After rolling off
fifteenth in the $50,000 to win 'USA Nationals' on Saturday
evening, Chris kept his nose clean throughout the rough and
tumble 100-lapper and late in the race found himself in the
second position behind only leader Billy Moyer. The Oxford,
Iowa native unfortunately had to pit in the waning laps for
fuel, but returned to the racetrack to salvage a hard-fought
seventh place performance in the crown jewel event!
