Congrats to Scott Lawver
Scott Lawver won his 100th Rockford Speedway Feature Event on July 4th. After an intense four car battle in the caution free event, it may have been one of his toughest wins as Matt Lundberg, Rich Hinerichsen and Matt Berger made him earn it. A big congratulations to Scott and everyone involved with his career from day one to today, it is an impressive accomplishment.
