World of Outlaws Late Model Series Points Leader Steve Francis To Appear On SPEED’s ‘Wind Tunnel With Dave Despain’ This Sunday (Oct. 28)
CONCORD , NC – Oct. 24, 2007 – Before Steve Francis attempts to clinch the 2007 World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship in the ‘Outlaws World Finals’ Nov. 1-3 at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway, he’ll tell a national television audience how he hopes to do it.
Francis, 40, of Ashland , Ky. , is scheduled as a guest on SPEED’s ‘Wind Tunnel With Dave Despain’ this Sunday night (Oct. 28). He’ll talk with Despain live via satellite from his race shop during the popular weekly television show, which runs from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time on the cable network.
A WoO LMS stalwart for the past four years, Francis leads the tour’s points standings by 62 points over Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., entering the season-ending ‘Outlaws World Finals’ next weekend. He can assure himself the $100,000 title by finishing at least 14th in each of the 50-lap A-Mains that comprise the Late Model portion of the event.
Francis has been solid all season in pursuit of his first career WoO LMS championship, rolling up four wins, 25 top-five and 38 top-10 finishes in 42 A-Mains. He has failed to finish just two events this year, on March 24 at Columbus ( Miss. ) Speedway and April 17 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver , Pa. He’s been on the lead lap at the end of every other A-Main contested in 2007 -- a true demonstration of his championship credentials.
A review of his spectacular campaign and a preview of the ‘Outlaws World Finals’ will be part of Francis’s live discussion with Despain, who will also interview NASCAR NEXTEL Cup champion Jimmie Johnson during Sunday’s ‘Wind Tunnel.’
Francis will also be live on SPEED when he looks to close out his championship season. The Late Model and Sprint Car action on the last night of the ‘Outlaws World Finals,’ on Sat., Nov. 3, will be telecast live on SPEED from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern Time.
The ‘World Finals’ will bring the World of Outlaws Late Models and Sprint Cars together on the same program for the first time in history. Time trials will be held on Thurs., Nov. 1, with complete programs for both series taking place on Fri., Nov. 2, and Sat., Nov. 3.
