support to the racers through the LOLMDS contingency program.” continued
Fredrickson.
The 2009 O’Reilly Auto Parts Show-Me 100 Presented by Dart Machinery
promises to be just as exciting as the 2008 edition of this illustrious
event. The race carries a $40,000 top prize and an enormous $132,000 purse.
“It just seemed like the thing to do this time, I think it will be good for
the racers, the Lucas Oil organization and us as well,” said Don Gibson.
We're pleased that we've been able to get it all worked out as quickly as we
have. Also, this arrangement will relieve me and my staff of the tech
process; these folks do it every week and can handle it much more
efficiently than we can."
