ASCS This Week

TULSA, Okla. (March 30, 2006) -- Regional action for the American Sprint Car Series kicks off this weekend with the inaugural event for the ASCS Mid-South Region at Little Rock's I-30 Speedway on Saturday night. A stout field of entries is expected including past ASCS National champions Gary Wright and Travis Rilat along with a number of other top National Tour contenders in a preview of the April 29 O'Reilly ASCoT event slated for I-30 Speedway.

The Series: ASCS Mid-South Region

What, When & Where: Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. -- I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, AR.

Track Information: I-30 Speedway is located seven miles southwest of Little Rock off I-30 Exit 126. Track phone: 501-455-4567

Notable:
The track that hosted the first ever ASCS National Tour event on May 15, 1993, with Mike Ward taking the win, now hosts the inaugural ASCS Mid-South Region event. A number of ASCS National Tour contenders, including Gary Wright, Travis Rilat, Jason Johnson, Sean McClelland, Jan Howard and Sam Hafertepe, Jr., are expected to take on Mid-South Region championship hopefuls such as Dale Howard, Josh Howard, A.G. Rains and Bryce Vowan.

Three-time ASCS National champion Tim Crawley swept I-30 Speedway's opening weekend of Sprint Car action on March 10 and 11, with defending track champion Pete Butler taking victory honors in last Saturday night's weekly card in Little Rock.
