O'REILLY MLRA (June 28, 2006) - The July 4th weekend is rapidly
approaching and the drivers and crews of the O'Reilly MLRA are preparing for two
big nights of action at Outlaw Motor Speedway, in Muskogee, OK, and then Lucas
Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO.
Racing kicks off on Saturday, July 1, as the O'Reilly MLRA travels to Outlaw
Motor Speedway for their Independence Day Special. Shane Essary made traveling
to OMS worthwhile as the picked up his first ever O'Reilly MLRA win as the
series stopped in on May 20. Point leader Al Purkey will be looking to end his
month long dry spell from the winner's circle and add to his O'Reilly MLRA wins
total. Right behind Purkey in second is Alan Vaughn who has been held without a
win to this point, but a recent surge in performance sees the Belton, MO
resident coming closer and closer to that first win of the season. Behind Purkey
and Vaughn the Oklahoma duo of Mike Brown and Charlie Randolph will lead the
host of O'Reilly MLRA regulars and local contingent looking to take home the OMS
win. Pure Stock, Hobby Stock, E Mods, and Modifieds will also be running
followed by a fireworks display. Gates open at 5:00 pm with the green flag
dropping at 7:00 pm. Adult admission is only $10.00 with Seniors and Kids (6-12)
$5.00 while 5 and under are free. In addition OMS also offers a family pack for
only $25.00. Pit pass pricing is $30.00 for adults and $20.00 for kids. For more

Monday, July 3, the O'Reilly MLRA will make their way up the road to the
beautiful new Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO for their second visit of the
year. Justin Wells and Mike Brown brought the fans to their feet as they
christened the track with some thrilling side by side action with Wells pulling
out his first O'Reilly MLRA win, but a mere 6 inches, on the opening night for
the facility. Brown will be looking to move up a notch and work his way to the
top spot while a tough field will be looking to take home the loot for
themselves including Al Purkey, Alan Vaughn, Charlie Randolph, David Turner,
Brett LaFollette, and the rest of the O'Reilly MLRA drivers coupled with a
talent laden local field of drivers. Gates open at 4:00 pm with hot laps set to
roll onto the track at 6:30 pm and racing to follow. Adult admission is $25.00
with Seniors and teens (12 - 17) $17.00. Pit passes for the night are $25.00.
