MSCS READIES FOR TWO OUTINGS IN ONE WEEKEND
by Eldon Butcher
Haubstadt, IN. June 4, 2007... For the first time this season the drivers in the Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series will have the opportunity to compete twice in the same weekend. With $3,000 to win on Friday night and $5,050.50 to win on Saturday night top drivers will be on hand both nights to compete for the prize money. The existing tight points battle between 6 or more drivers will further ensure dynamic contests each night at the two tracks involved.

Action gets underway at the Morgan County Speedway at Jacksonville, IL, on June 8th. The Friday night event will be held on the ¼ mile oval at the Morgan County Fairgrounds promoted this year by Bill West Jr. It is high banked and is known throughout the Midwest as a venue for sprint cars. The Midwest Sprint Car Series competes without wings. These 410 sprint cars operate at the extreme edge of advanced non-wing racing technology.

If you would like to get a feel for this excitement, Friday night just might be the time. In a special promotion at the Morgan County Speedway. Incarmania.com will be set up with a booth in the
grandstand area. Fans in attendance will have an opportunity to purchase a ticket involving the use of an in-car camera during the MSCS feature event.

The holder of the winning ticket will get to choose the sprint car that the camera will be mounted on. They will also receive a free DVD with footage of the race to enjoy. The footage will also go on the website at INCARMANIA.

The last Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car Series event to be held at the Morgan County Speedway was back in 2005. The winner on July 29th of that year was Derek O'Dell of East Alton, IL. This event at
Jacksonville is currently the only MSCS race in Illinois this season and a great opportunity for the Illinois based drivers. Mat Neely, of Robinson, IL, has won an MSCS feature already this season. The
MSCS roster shows drivers from 8 states! A fourth of the total number are from the state of Illinois.

TRI-STATE CELEBRATES 50

Saturday night the MSCS drivers will make their third appearance of the season at Tri-State Speedway. This one is very special. It has been set aside as the 50th Anniversary Race at the Speedway. The speedway opened in June of 1957. The Hoosier Tire Midwest Sprint Car drivers will be running for 50 laps to headline the event.

At the conclusion of this particular event Saturday night, one driver will forever hold the honor of winning a race to recognize all those that have ever been held. One face will represent a myriad of
winning faces holding the checkered flag and saluting the fans at what must now be well over a thousand Tri-State main events.
