But in addition to Yoder, there are several local late model competitors that did well with MACS in 2001 and, although not running the full 2002 MACS Tour, will be on hand at Big Diamond.
Past Big Diamond limited late model champion and feature winner, Scott Haus of Hamburg, PA, finished seventh in points. Scott has run well this year and won at Renegade (formerly called STARS) Late Model race in Pennsylvania just last weekend.
Big D's historic limited late model Mr. Consistency, Jim Bernheisel of Lebanon, PA took a MACS feature win at Latrobe Speedway. This year Jim is in the top ten in Renegade Late Model points and is the Rookie of the Year point leader.
Chris Shuey of Orefield, PA was 14th in points with MACS in 2001 but this year is staying closer to home and already has a feature win to his credit.
