G.R. Smith Press Release - June 27, 2007
June 27, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) After taking a few weekends off to regroup
following some recent motor troubles, G.R. Smith and his Premier Motorsports
team were back in action over the weekend in three feature events in their home
state of North Carolina. On Friday evening, June 22, the #22 team invaded the
Fayetteville Motor Speedway in Fayetteville, North Carolina for a $10,000 to
win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series show. G.R. timed in well and finished
second in his heat race. After starting the 50-lap race from the eighth
position, the Huntersville, North Carolina native was running up front until a
broken axle on lap sixteen took him out of competition. He wound up finishing
twenty-fourth in the final rundown last Friday night at Fayetteville.

The action then turned to the 311 Speedway in Madison, North Carolina on
Saturday for a pair of 'Twin 25' events. After qualifying well, G.R. started
eighth in the first 25-lapper. He was able to pass five cars en route to a
solid third place showing in the $2,500 to win race. In the second feature,
G.R. and the rest of the field were inverted for the start of the race. He
drove his #22 Rocket / Custom machine back to the front of the field and was
battling for the top spot when he was turned around while making his way
through slower traffic. Despite the tangle, G.R. still managed to finish in
the seventh position in the second 'Twin 25.' You can view full results from
these two shows online at www.lucasdirt.com and www.new311speedway.com.

"It was a pretty good weekend for us, but it definitely could have been
better," stated Smith this week via telephone. "I had a good run going at
Fayetteville on Friday until the axle broke. Then at 311, the slower traffic
caused fits for everyone all night long. I definitely believe that we could
have won that second feature at 311 if not for lapped traffic and getting
turned around."

The Premier Motorsports team is scheduled to tackle a pair of events this
coming weekend. On Friday, June 29, the Dublin Motor Speedway in Dublin, North
Carolina will play host to a $2,000 to win show. The following evening will
take the team to the Laurens County Speedway in Laurens, South Carolina for a
$4,000 to win Carolina Clash Late Model Series race. Any late breaking
schedule changes will be noted first online at www.grsmith22.com!

G.R. Smith Picks Up First Win of 2007 in Delaware!
June 7, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) G.R. Smith and his Premier Motorsports team
reached victory lane for the first time in the 2007 racing season on Friday
night, June 1 at the Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown, Delaware! After a
strong run in his heat race, G.R. redrew a number four prior to the running of
the $2,500 to win A-Main. The young Huntersville, North Carolina native rolled
off from the outside of the second row for the feature event and found his way
to the front of the field in the opening laps. G.R. was able to hold off the
stellar field to record the victory, as he beat Billy Decker, Ricky Elliott,
Kenny Pettyjohn, and David Pettyjohn to the checkers.

One day earlier, G.R. was in action in a World of Outlaws Late Model Series
show at the Delaware International Speedway in Delmar, Delaware on Thursday,
May 31. He was thirty-fourth fastest in qualifying and later finished eighth
in his competitive heat race. Following a fourth place performance in the B-
Main, G.R. started the $10,000 to win A-Main from the twenty-second starting
position. After fifty green flag racing laps, the driver known as the "Wild
Child" was credited with a nineteenth place finish. The Premier Motorsports
team was also scheduled to race on Saturday, June 2 at the 311 (NC) Motor
Speedway, but engine woes during hot laps prevented G.R. in competing in
the 'Twin 25s.'

"It feels good to get that monkey off of our back and finally win a race this
year," quoted G.R. earlier this week via telephone. "I was good at Georgetown
earlier in the year and couldn't quite pull off the win, but I was able to get
it done last Friday night. Unfortunately, we had some mechanical problems in
hot laps on Saturday at 311, but we should have everything fixed in time to go
to Lavonia this weekend!"

The Premier Motorsports team is set to invade the Lavonia Speedway in Lavonia,
Georgia this Saturday night, June 9. The O'Reilly Southern Allstars Series
will sanction a $5,000 to win event on Saturday in the Peachtree State. You

May 31, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) The Premier Motorsports team traveled to the
Buckeye State of Ohio over the weekend for a pair of Mid-Atlantic Championship
Series (MACS) shows and an O'Reilly Battle of the Bluegrass Series event from
May 25-27. Unfortunately for G.R. and his #22 team, they were unable to make
the A-Main starting fields for all three of those races. After taking a day
off to regroup on Memorial Day, G.R. was back in action on Tuesday, May 29 at
the Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Kentucky. After running fourth in his
competitive heat race, G.R. rolled off from the middle of the starting grid for
the $3,000 to win O'Reilly Battle of the Bluegrass Series main event.
Following thirty green flag laps of racing action, the Huntersville, North
Carolina native was credited with a fifteenth place performance.

"We aren't used to running on that slick stuff at all," commented G.R.
today. "It was slick everywhere we went and I just don't see that too much
down here in the south. I definitely got better and more accustomed to the
racing surfaces as the weekend progressed, but we still struggled a little.
Hopefully, we can get things going better this coming weekend in Delaware and
then at 311."

The Premier Motorsports team has a busy weekend ahead of them, as they plan to
enter three events in Delaware and North Carolina. You can view G.R.'s
tentative schedule for the weekend below:

May 31 | Delaware International Speedway, World of Outlaws | $10,000 to win

G.R. Smith Press Release - May 24, 2007
May 24, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) G.R. Smith and his #22 team invaded the 311
Speedway in Madison, North Carolina on Friday evening, May 18 for a pair of
$2,500 to win shows. In the first 25-lapper, G.R. had a great car and finished
third in the final rundown. Randle Chupp once again piloted G.R.'s MasterSbilt
racecar and he drove it to victory lane for the second straight weekend. In
the second $2,500 to win feature, both drivers were poised to make a run to the
front of the field after being inverted. However, both G.R. and Randle were
unable to finish the second race after being involved in an early race
incident. You can view full results from this event online at
www.new311speedway.com!

"I was glad one of our cars could win the other night at 311," commented Smith
earlier this week via telephone. "I have to congratulate Randle on the
victory, but I wish we could have both been around for the end of the second
feature as well. Even though we ran third during the first feature, I think I
had an even better car for the second race. But, we were involved in a serious
wreck on the first lap that took us out of contention."

The Premier Motorsports team plans on following an ambitious Memorial Day
holiday weekend schedule, as they will travel to Ohio and Kentucky. G.R. will
enter a pair of Mid-Atlantic Championship Series (MACS) events, before starting
the O'Reilly Battle of the Bluegrass Series "Kentucky Speedweek." The #22 team
plans on competing in the first two legs of "Kentucky Speedweek" and see how
they are doing at that point before making a commitment to follow the entire
mini-series. Their upcoming schedule shapes up like this:

Friday, May 25 | Skyline (OH) Speedway, MACS | $5,000 to win
Saturday, May 26 | Portsmouth (OH) Raceway Park, MACS | $5,000 to win
Sunday, May 27 | Portsmouth (OH) Raceway Park, BoB | $3,000 to win

Premier Motorsports Press Release May 17, 2007
May 17, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) The Premier Motorsports team fielded two
entries last Friday night, May 11 at the I-77 Speedway in Chester, South
Carolina and walked away with a victory and an eighth place finish to their
credit. Randle Chupp piloted one of the team's #22 Rocket machines to victory
lane in the $1,500 to win event by besting Randy Smith, Johnny Pursley, Gerald
Mintz, and Mike Duvall. G.R. Smith also found himself up front with Chupp
after qualifying well, but an unfortunate spin during the A-Main negated what
could have been a one-two finish for the Premier Motorsports team. G.R.
rebounded from the tail of the field to earn an eighth place finish in the
final rundown of the unsanctioned event. For complete results from this race,
please visit www.i-77speedway.com!

"Both me and Randle (Chupp) had good cars the other night at I-77," commented
G.R. earlier in the week. "If things wound have went right, I think we could
have had a nice one-two finish, but unfortunately that isn't how things turned
out. I have to congratulate Randle for running a great race and bringing home
the win for our team. We will work hard this week and get ready for Carolina
on Friday night and then enjoy the NASCAR Allstar Race at Charlotte."

G.R. will be back in action on Friday night, May 18 at the Carolina Speedway in
Gastonia, North Carolina. The Carolina Clash Late Model Series will sanction a
$4,000 to win show at the venerable Tarheel State oval tomorrow evening. For

G.R. Smith Press Release - May 10, 2007
May 10, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) G.R. Smith and his #22 team headed north last
week to try and beat the rain that had a stranglehold on much of the
southeast. On Thursday, May 3, G.R. invaded the Virginia Motor Speedway in
Jamaica, Virginia for the annual 'Paul Sawyer Memorial.' He finished sixth in
his heat race and rolled off twenty-second for the $5,000 to win A-Main.
During the course of the unsanctioned feature event, G.R. improved nine spots
en route to a thirteenth place performance. Randle Chupp once again piloted
G.R.'s back-up car and wound up twelfth in the final rundown.

The Premier Motorsports team then traveled to the Georgetown Speedway in
Georgetown, Delaware for a $2,500 to win show on Friday evening. G.R. won his
heat race and got up to second early on in the A-Main. However, an ultra-soft
tire combination caused the Huntersville, North Carolina native to
unfortunately fade back to fifth by the time the checkered flag fell over the
field. On Saturday, May 5, the #22 team searched and searched for a place that
would beat the weather, but their search ended with a rain-out at the Tyler
County (WV) Speedway.

"We traveled a long way last week to try to beat the rain and wound up racing
twice, which isn't bad," commented G.R. earlier this week. "On Thursday, I was
decent at Virginia, but had to start in the back, which made it difficult.
Then at Georgetown on Friday night, my car was really good at the beginning of
the feature. Unfortunately, I went like two stages too soft on tires and that
killed us. If we would have chosen a harder tire combination, things could
have been different up there Friday night."

G.R. and his Premier Motorsports tentatively have two events marked on the
calendar for May 11-12. On Friday night, May 11, the team plans to travel to
the I-77 Speedway in Chester, South Carolina for a $1,500 to win regular show.
Then on Saturday, the action will turn to the Tri-County Race Track in
Brasstown, North Carolina. A $4,000 top prize is up for grabs in the Carolina
Clash Late Model Series show on Saturday evening at Brasstown. You can view
more information on these two events by accessing www.i-77speedway.com and

G.R. Smith Press Release - May 2, 2007
May 2, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) The Premier Motorsports team, with young G.R.
Smith behind the wheel of their pristine #22 machine, stayed in North Carolina
over the weekend for a pair of Carolina Clash Late Model Series shows. On
Friday night, April 27, G.R. was battling for a top five finish at the Thunder
Valley Speedway in Lawndale, North Carolina before scraping the inside
guardrail on lap 22. The brush with the wall caused the Huntersville, North
Carolina transplant to unfortunately spin and relegated him to a disappointing
eighteenth place performance in the $4,000 to win show.

The action then turned to the Harris Motor Speedway in Harris, North Carolina
on Saturday evening for another $4,000 to win Carolina Clash Late Model Series
event. G.R. qualified well and ran a strong third through most of the feature
event. He was pushed up out of the way while battling for the second spot and
G.R. fell back to the fourth position, where he ultimately finished. Randle
Chupp once again piloted G.R.'s back-up car for the two events and he placed
fifth on Friday night and seventh on Saturday. You can view complete results
from these two shows online at www.carolinaclash.com!

"We had a decent weekend except for our finish in the feature on Friday at
Lawndale," quoted G.R. earlier this week. "It was pretty hard to pass and I
was trying to make a move on the guy in front of me when I got into the inside
guardrail. Then at Harris, it was also very hard to pass. We just had to get
in line and ride and we wound up fourth."

G.R. and his #22 team will now set their sights on the 'Paul Sawyer Memorial'
at the Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, Virginia on Thursday evening, May
3. The unsanctioned event will be 40-laps in length and will pay the winner a
cool $5,000. You can learn more about this show by accessing
www.vamotorspeedway.com! The weekend schedule is then up in the air.

Depending on the weather, the Premier Motorsports team will either travel to
the I-77 Speedway in Chester, South Carolina on Friday night and the Tri-County
Race Track in Brasstown, North Carolina on Saturday or they will head to the
other side of the state to compete at the Dublin (NC) Motor Speedway and the
Fayetteville (NC) Motor Speedway. You can view the latest schedule information

G.R. Smith Press Release - April 26, 2007
April 26, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) G.R. Smith and the Premier Motorsports team
invaded the nearby Dirt Track at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North
Carolina last weekend for the second annual 'Circle K Colossal 100.' On
Friday, April 20, G.R. timed in twenty-sixth fastest of the ninety-two entrants
in qualifying and later finished fifth in his ultra-competitive heat race. The
#22 team returned to the Charlotte area venue on Saturday with high hopes of
transferring to the $50,000 to win A-Main. However, G.R. could only muster a
thirteenth place effort in his B-Main, which left him out of the 100-lap main
event. You can read more about this year's version of the 'Circle K Colossal
100,' which was won by Scott Bloomquist, online at www.worldofoutlaws.com!

"We have a fast racecar right now, but we have to gain some consistency,"
quoted G.R. this week via telephone. "I turned some fast laps at Charlotte
over the weekend, but we just haven't been able to put it all together yet this
year. Hopefully, things will turn around Friday at Lawndale and Saturday
wherever we end up racing."

G.R. and his #22 team will travel to the Thunder Valley Speedway in Lawndale,
North Carolina on Friday night, April 27 for a $4,000 to win Carolina Clash
Late Model Series event. The Huntersville, North Carolina based Dirt Late
Model team will then choose between the $10,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model
Dirt Series show at the Hagerstown (MD) Speedway and the $5,000 to win O'Reilly
Southern Allstars Series race at the Talladega (AL) Short Track on Saturday.
G.R. will make up his mind late Friday night or early Saturday morning,
depending on the weather. You can view the latest tentative racing schedule

G.R. Smith Preps for Colossal Event this Weekend at Lowe's!
April 18, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) G.R. Smith and the Premier Motorsports team
took to the track at the Dublin Motor Speedway in Dublin, North Carolina on
Friday night, April 13 for an unsanctioned, $4,000 to win event. After
qualifying fourth fastest in time trials, G.R. rolled off from the outside of
the second row for the A-Main. The Huntersville, North Carolina native was
running a solid third in the feature when he was struck in the helmet with a
rock. As a result, G.R. injured his eye and was forced to pull off of the
racetrack and was relegated to a disappointing fourteenth place effort.

The following evening was supposed to see G.R. in action at the Fayetteville
(NC) Motor Speedway in a $4,000 to win Carolina Clash Late Model Series show.
However, with his eye swollen virtually shut from the incident the night prior,
G.R. gave up his ride to Randle Chupp. Chupp was impressive in the #22
machine, as he drove it to a fifth place performance in the A-Main at
Fayetteville on Saturday, April 14.

"We had a good run going at Dublin on Friday until getting hit with that rock
or whatever it was," commented the driver known as the "Wild Child" this
week. "Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the race and then couldn't run on
Saturday at Fayetteville. I waited until the last minute, hoping to run on
Saturday, but I had to call up Randle (Chupp) to drive the car. He did a heck
of a job all night long and looked very good even though I am sure the cockpit
and seat weren't very comfortable for him. I am looking forward to racing at
Lowe's this weekend and hopefully my eye will be all healed up by then. I am
probably ninety percent today, so by Friday I should be in good shape."

G.R. and his #22 team will tackle the biggest Dirt Late Model event on their
schedule so far in 2007 this coming weekend! The Dirt Track at the Lowe's
Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina will play host to the $50,000 to
win 'Circle K Colossal 100' on April 20-21. Qualifications and heat race
action will take place at the Charlotte area oval on Friday evening, April 20,
while several last chance events and the $50,000 to win, 100-lap 'Circle K
Colossal 100' are slated for Saturday. The latest news and information

April 12, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) The Premier Motorsports team competed in a pair
of Dirt Late Model events in their home state of North Carolina over the busy
Easter holiday weekend. On Friday, April 6, G.R. Smith and his #22 team
invaded the Dublin Motor Speedway in Dublin, North Carolina for an
unsanctioned, $2,000 to win show. After rolling off from the outside of the
front row for the A-Main, G.R. took the lead heading down the backstretch.
However, the polesitter decided to make contact with G.R.'s Rocket racecar,
which basically took him out of the race and caused heavy damage to his mount.
He was able to ride around following the wreck, but was never a serious
contender for the win and was credited with a tenth place performance.

The action then turned to the Fayetteville Motor Speedway in Fayetteville,
North Carolina on Saturday evening, April 7. After a sub par qualifying effort,
which landed him the eleventh starting spot for the feature event, G.R. had a
great car for the $2,000 to win A-Main. Even though it was difficult to pass
at the Fayetteville oval on Saturday, the driver known as the "Wild Child" was
able to advance five positions to earn a hard-fought sixth place finish.

"I think we had a car capable of winning the race on Friday night if not for
the unfortunate incident on the backstretch," commented G.R. this week. "I got
booted from behind and that is the bottom line. The car sustained heavy
damage, but luckily the great people at the Dunn-Benson Racing Supply opened up
their shop to us on Saturday and we were able to work on the car indoors and
get it fixed for Fayetteville. I really have to thank Carlton and Kemp Lamm
for their generosity, as it really meant a lot to our entire race team. Then
at Fayetteville, I screwed up in qualifying, but had a great car in the
feature. We still came up to sixth, but I think we probably had a second place
car if the track would have been a little racier."

G.R. and his Premier Motorsports team are set to tackle the same two venues
this coming weekend, as both Dublin and Fayetteville will host a pair of $4,000
to win feature events. On Friday, the Dublin Motor Speedway will play host to
an unsanctioned event, while the Fayetteville Motor Speedway will hold a
Carolina Clash Late Model Series show on Saturday evening. For more

G.R. Smith Strong at 311, Preps for Doubleheader Weekend!
April 5, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) Following mechanical problems prior to the
racing action on Friday, March 30 at the Dublin (NC) Motor Speedway, G.R. Smith
and his Premier Motorsports team fixed their #22 Rocket machine in time to head
to the New 311 Speedway in Madison, North Carolina on Saturday evening. G.R.
was strong all night at 311, as he posted a pair of Top Ten efforts in
the 'Twin 25s.' The Huntersville, North Carolina transplant finished fourth in
the first $2,500 to win A-Main and was probably going to run even better in the
second feature event, but an early spin sent G.R. to the tail of the field.
However, the driver quickly becoming known as the "Wild Child" got up on the
wheel and passed several cars in the late stages of the second 25-lap feature
to claim an eighth place performance.

"We had some mechanical issues on our car before the racing even started at
Dublin on Friday, so we headed back to the shop and got things fixed before 311
on Saturday," stated G.R. earlier this week. "At 311, we had a good car in
both features and I was pleased with how the Rocket car performed. I was
probably going to run in the top five of the second feature too, but we all got
bottlenecked early in the race and I spun and had to go to the tail. It is
encouraging, though, to be finishing races now instead of suffering through all
of the problems that we did earlier this year."

The Premier Motorsports team has a pair of Dirt Late Model events in their
sights this weekend, as they plan to tackle both the Dublin Motor Speedway in
Dublin, North Carolina and the I-20 Speedway in Batesburg, South Carolina. A
$2,000 to win show will be held on Friday, April 6 at Dublin, while a $3,000
top prize is up for grabs in a 35-lap A-Main on Saturday evening at I-20. For

G.R. Smith Press Release - March 28, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) The Premier Motorsports team and young Dirt
Late Model pilot G.R. Smith invaded the Gordon Park Speedway in Augusta,
Georgia on Saturday night, March 24 for another exciting round of Carolina
Clash Late Model Series action! G.R. advanced to the $4,000 to win A-Main by
virtue of his second place finish in the consolation event, which he led nearly
flag-to-flag. After getting turned around on the first lap of the feature
event and restarting from the tail of the field, the Huntersville, North
Carolina native advanced up to the fourteenth spot by the end of the race.

"Our Rocket car was pretty good at Gordon Park the other night, but the track
was pretty hard to pass on," commented the driver known as the "Wild
Child." "I had to start close to the back anyways, but getting turned around
on the first lap didn't help things at all. At least we got into the show and
I was able to make some laps in the feature. Hopefully, we can go to Dublin
and 311 this coming weekend and get our season turned around!"

G.R. and his #22 team are set to tackle a pair of North Carolina ovals this
coming weekend. The Dublin Motor Speedway in Dublin, North Carolina will host
a $2,000 to win show on Friday, March 30. The New 311 Speedway in Madison,
North Carolina will then hold 'Twin 25s' at the historic facility on Saturday,
March 31. Both 25-lap feature events at 311 on Saturday will pay $2,500 to the
winner. For more information concerning these events, please visit

G.R. Smith Press Release
March 13, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) G.R. Smith and his Premier Motorsports team
invaded the historic Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, North Carolina on Saturday
night, March 10 for round one of the ultra-competitive Carolina Clash Late
Model Series schedule. The Huntersville, North Carolina based Dirt Late Model
team was looking to rebound from a disappointing start to their season, but the
Gastonia oval proved to be yet another road block in their early '07 campaign.
G.R. had a strong run going in qualifying, aboard his new MasterSbilt machine,
until he got his right rear tire above the crown of the track exiting turn four
on his first lap. As a result, G.R.'s #22 car spun and hit the wall in the
process. Unfortunately, the young Tarheel State transplant and his team could
not regroup from the mishap in qualifying to transfer into the $5,000 to win
feature event.

"We were tight in hot laps, so we loosened the car up quite a bit for
qualifying," commented G.R. recently. "I had a great lap going through one and
two and even through turn three. Then coming out of turn four, my right rear
just got above the crown and it caused me to spin and get into the wall. We
suffered from rear suspension problems after that and unfortunately couldn't
make the feature event. I knew the track was going to be one-lane and hard to
pass on, so I probably over-drove the car in an effort to try to earn the pole
position in qualifying."

Next up on the Carolina Clash Late Model Series schedule will be the Lancaster
Motor Speedway in Lancaster, South Carolina this Saturday night, March 17.
G.R. will be looking to turn around his recent string of bad luck at Lancaster
and hopes to compete for the $5,000 payday. For more information on this one-
day show, please visit www.carolinaclash.com.

G.R. Smith Looks to Rebound this Weekend at Gastonia!

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA) New car blues struck the Premier Motorsports
team in a big way over the weekend, as they failed to make the starting field
for both the 'Spring Thaw 100' at the Volunteer (TN) Speedway and 'March
Madness' at the Cherokee (SC) Speedway. A defective steering shaft column
caused his new #22 MasterSbilt machine to not turn properly throughout the
weekend. As a result, G.R. Smith struggled to control the car and
unfortunately missed both $10,000 to win shows to start his 2007 season.

"It was a very disappointing way to start off the season, but we will rebound
just fine," commented G.R. recently. "The new MasterSbilt car didn't feel all
that bad, but the steering was so messed up that I looked awful driving the
car. Hopefully, the Carolina Speedway will treat us a little better this
coming weekend, but it can't get much worse than it was last weekend."

The Huntersville, North Carolina based Dirt Late Model team will look to
rebound from the disappointing weekend in a $5,000 to win Carolina Clash Super
Late Model Series event at the Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, North Carolina on
Saturday, March 10. After an open practice and media day on Friday, March 9,
G.R. will look to start this year's Carolina Clash season off on a strong
note. A complete show will be held on Saturday, with a 50-lap A-Main
highlighting the action at the historic Tarheel State oval. More information
on this event can be found online at www.carolinaclash.com.

G.R. Smith Kicks Off Season at Bulls Gap & Cherokee this Weekend!
February 26, 2007

(HUNTERSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA)  After choosing to forego "Raceweeks 2007" at
the Volusia (FL) Speedway Park a few weeks ago, G.R. Smith and the Premier
Motorsports team will kick off their version of the 2007 racing season this
weekend with a couple of big events.  They will unload their MasterSbilt
chassis at the Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee on Friday and
Saturday night, March 2-3 in hopes of claiming the $10,000 to win 'Spring Thaw
100.'  Preliminary action will take place at the ultra-fast Volunteer State
oval on Friday evening, with the 100-lap feature event headlining the action on
Saturday.  Following the unsanctioned 'Spring Thaw 100,' the #22 team will head
to the newly configured Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina on Sunday,
March 4.  The O'Reilly Southern Allstars Series will sanction the $10,000 to
win 'March Madness' show at the track formerly known as the "Place Your Momma
Warned You About."  You can learn more about these two events by clicking on
www.volunteerspeedway.com and www.southern-allstars.com.

"I am really looking forward to my second year of Dirt Late Model racing,"
commented G.R. earlier today via telephone.  "We plan on running the entire
Carolina Clash Series in 2007, as well as Ray Cook's Southern Nationals
Series.  Both of those circuits work well with our schedule at this time and
will provide me a great opportunity to gain more experience at tracks I am
familiar with at this point in my career.  I also plan on hitting some of the
major shows across the country and region that do not conflict with the
Carolina Clash and Southern Nationals schedules.  With both MasterSbilt and
Rocket racecars in our arsenal in 2007, we will probably run the MasterSbilt at
most of the big shows and save the Rocket car for Carolina Clash shows.  I have
to really thank the people at Earnest Construction Management and Giacobbe
Trucking for all of their help with our program this year, as well as all of
our great product supporters!"

‘Bonus Bucks’ Program Gives Regional & Local Drivers Shot At Extra $500 In Every 360 OTC World of Outlaws Late Model Series Event This Season 

CONCORD, NC – Feb. 28, 2007 – When the 360 OTC World of Outlaws Late Model returns to action March 23-25 with its three-night, three-state ‘March Through Dixie,’ eligible regional and local drivers will be looking to pad their earnings each evening with a cool $500 in cash. 

The popular World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks Program, which will be in effect at every 360 OTC WoO LMS event in 2007, will provide an extra $500 to the highest-finishing driver in the A-Main who has never won a 360 OTC WoO LMS feature and does not rank among the top 12 in the tour’s current point standings. 

“We want to encourage more regional and local drivers to come out and support the series when we visit their areas,” said Tim Christman, the director of the 360 OTC WoO LMS. “Sweetening the pot with the ‘World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks’ gives them another incentive to shoot for as they test their skills against the touring World of Outlaws stars.” 

Dozens of regional and local drivers will chase the ‘Bonus Bucks’ in each of the events that comprise the upcoming ‘World of Outlaws March Through Dixie’ weekend, which stops at Baton Rouge Raceway in Baker, La., on Fri., March 23; Columbus (Miss.) Speedway on Sat., March 24; and North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala., on Sun., March 25. 

Offered at selected 360 OTC WoO LMS events in 2006, the World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks Program has been expanded this season to include all A-Mains listed on the tour’s ambitious schedule. 

The 2007 campaign’s first ‘Bonus Bucks’ winner was Jimmy Mars of Menominee, Wis., who added $500 to his eighth-place earnings in the 360 OTC WoO LMS season opener on Feb. 18 at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla. 

Registered contenders for this year’s 360 OTC WoO LMS Rookie of the Year Award will be eligible for the World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks Program, provided they do not win an A-Main in 2007 or rank among the top 12 in the current tour point standings. That means a 360 OTC WoO LMS rookie contender will have up to $750 in bonus cash available to them at each tour event, combining the $500 in ‘Bonus Bucks’ and the $250 top-finishing rookie prize that is on the line in all series A-Mains.

Entry Forms Available For Inaugural $140,000-Plus ‘Firecracker 100’ June 29-30 At Lernerville Speedway 

SARVER, PA – Feb. 25, 2007 – The field is beginning to build for the richest dirt Late Model event ever contested in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Entry forms are now available for the inaugural ‘Firecracker 100,’ an eagerly anticipated, $30,000-to-win extravaganza set for June 29-30 at the renowned Lernerville Speedway.

A jammed pit area is expected for the two-night program, which will be part of the 360 OTC World of Outlaws Late Model Series and offer a $140,000-plus total cash purse.

“We’ve already received an overwhelming amount of interest in the ‘Firecracker 100’ and it’s just going to continue to build,” said Gary Risch Jr., general manager of the four-tenths-mile Lernerville oval. “Now fans can watch as the entry list grows longer and longer with dirt Late Model stars from all across the country.”

Just days later the first completed entry was returned to the Lernerville office – from Mike Balzano of Parkersburg, W.Va., a veteran standout who’s been a stalwart competitor in dirt Late Model specials held at Lernerville for nearly two decades.

“Who knows how big the entry list could become?” commented Risch. “Lernerville’s reputation as one of the raciest tracks in the country is well known, so dirt Late Model teams are truly excited about finally having a chance to run a really big show here.” 

The ‘Firecracker 100’ pre-entry fee is $100, including one free overnight camping spot in a reserved area if the entry reaches the Lernerville office by April 23. The late-entry fee is $150. 

Entry forms are available on-line at www.lernerville.com or by calling the track office at 724-353-1511. 

Ticket and pit-pass prices have also been established for the ‘Firecracker 100’ weekend, which will feature two nights of competition for one price. Time trials and qualifying heats will be run on Fri., June 29, with last-chance races, the $3,000-to-win ‘Uncle Sam 30’ (for the top-24 drivers who don’t transfer to the A-Main) and the ‘Firecracker 100’ on tap for Sat., June 30.

A raindate of Sun., July 1, has been announced for the ‘Firecracker 100.’

General admission tickets for the ‘Firecracker 100’ weekend will cost $39 (adults 18 and over), $36 (senior citizens) and $34 (ages 11-17), with children 10 and under admitted free. Reserved seats for both nights of action are available for $42 (adults 18 and over), $40 (seniors) and $37 (ages 17 and under).

Reserved seats are on sale now and can be purchased by calling the Lernerville office at 724-353-1511. 

Weekend pit passes will cost $40 for DIRT members and $50 for non-members. 

The ‘Firecracker 100’ will be the second 360 OTC World of Outlaws Late Model Series event of 2007 at Lernerville Speedway, following the $10,000-to-win ‘Showdown in Sarvertown 50’ on Tues., April 17.
