By John RittenhouseExpect a full field of cars for Saturday’s Bio Fuels Enduro Race, which will serve as the grandstand show for the Rock County Fair that evening.According to Burdette Braun, event chairman for the Rock County Fair Board, 57 drivers have made commitments to compete in the race as of Wednesday.Since the field will be limited to 60 cars, and with five more days remaining to register, Braun said it won’t be a problem to attract three more cars to round out the field."I think we’ll have a good time Saturday night," he said. "I hate to do it, but we might have to turn away a driver or two who try to enter their cars on the night of the race. Hopefully, the rain will stay away and we’ll get in a full race."Driving rains limited the 2004 version of the race to one hour. Since the event reached the half-way mark, race officials declared Luverne’s Greg Vande Velde the winner for completing 71 laps ahead of any other driver.Vande Velde will be on hand to defend his 2004 title Saturday night.Valley Springs (S.D.) driver Jeremy Scadden, who won the July 7 Enduro Race sponsored by the Fair Board, will try to win his second straight race at the Luverne oval.Braun said a majority of the field will consist of Rock County drivers.Two female drivers have committed to the race, and an entry from White Bear Lake has been received.The two-hour, 200-lap race (whichever comes first) is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Gates for the drivers and their crews open at 4:30 p.m. The grandstand gate opens at 6 p.m.
