Jimmie is out. But Kenny's in. Rusty is getting some pressure from home, and Denny's about to get hit up for a favor.

The ASA Midwest Tour race at the Milwaukee Mile has been overshadowed lately by news about the IndyCar race at the track, but it, too, is barely three months away.

Work on the event continues, not the least of which is assembling a field that will make the Howie Lettow Memorial a success befitting the Midwest racing legend after whom the June 12 event is named.

Lettow lived in Watertown, Wis., and made his name on the old ASA national tour, becoming one of the most respected crew chiefs in short-track stock-car racing. He died of cancer in August 2010 at age 62.

David Stremme, one of the many drivers who benefited from Lettow's mentoring, has worked with ASA Midwest president Steve Einhaus on the project. Stremme also has worked with his Sprint Cup team, Inception Motorsports, on building a late model, and he'll soon be working on some of his friends to race.

"There's other people that have run in the ASA series . . . a lot of guys are getting a hold of me," Stremme said. "I've got another car. I don't know, maybe I can get Denny (Hamlin) or somebody else to get in there from the Cup garage to get in there and go up and have some fun."
