DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. (October 9, 2004) Officials for NASCAR and Tucson (Ariz.)Raceway Park have rescheduled the Star Nursery. COM "150" for the NASCAR AutoZone Elite Division, Southwest Series to Sunday, October 24, 2004.

With Tucson back on the schedule the points battle will certainly heat up as Jim Pettit II from Prunedale, Calif. leads Bakersfield, California's Craig Raudman by only ten points going into the final three events.

The race at Tucson will also be a welcome sign for several drivers fighting to get in the NASCAR Top 10 and earn an invite to the prestigious NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown that will be staged at Irwindale (Calif.) Speedway November 11-13. Leading Rookie Rip Michels of Mission Hills, Calif. holds down the tenth spot in the standings with New Mexico's Danny Burson 52 points back. Fellow rookie Nick Lynch sits in the twelfth position 72 markers behind Burson.

COM "150" presented by AutoZone scheduled to take the green flag at 2:00 p.m. PST.
