FOUR DATES ADDED TO USMTS SCHEDULE WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Jan. 28) - Officials from the United States Modified Touring Series have announced that four more dates have been added to the 2008 schedule. Three of these are part of the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour while one has been added to the O’Reilly USMTS Southern Series slate. Two of the dates will find the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour making annual holiday visits to the Steele County Speedway in Owatonna, Minn. The rugged road warriors will invade the big half-mile oval on Memorial Day (Monday, May 26) then again on Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 1). The newly-confirmed dates makes for three shows at Owatonna, with the previously scheduled event on Thursday, Aug. 14, joining the Labor Day event as races in The Hunt for the O’Reilly USMTS National Championship. Freshman promoter Jeff Herrig has signed on to host the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour at the Buena Vista Raceway in Alta, Iowa. The event will mark the first time in five years that the USMTS has tackled the tricky 3/8-mile semi-banked clay oval, and will also feature NASCAR veteran Kenny Wallace in competition at the Wednesday, June 18, event. Adding to the mid-summer Speedweek for the O’Reilly USMTS Southern Series, new promoter Tim Adams has scheduled a date for Tuesday, June 3, at the popular Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Okla. (just across the State Line from Fort Smith, Ark.), which will kick off five straight days of racing, June 3-7. The series travels to I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., on Wednesday; Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, La., on Thursday; Monticello (Ark.) Speedway on Friday; and Fast Trax Speedway in Chatham, La., on Friday. Each of the first four events will pay $2,000 to win while the week's curtain closer at Chatham will carry a $2,500 top prize. For the fifth straight year, the O’Reilly USMTS National Events campaign will kick off with a doubleheader at the state-of-the-art Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, Neb. The 5th Annual Nebraska Spring Thaw is slated for Friday and Saturday, March 7-8, 2008. Friday’s event will pay $2,000 to win while the victor in Saturday’s main event will pocket $3,000.
