[dirt4madmin]

CRESCO, Iowa (Jan. 7) -- Officials from RL Promotions and
the Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, have announced a
tentative schedule of events for the 2008 racing season at
the Howard County Fairgrounds 4/10-mile high-banked clay
oval.

An exciting season of Fast & Furious Fridays and racing
under the United States Racing Association banner will
kick off on April 25 with the season opener for the USRA
Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series featuring USRA
Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks
and Outlaw Hobbys.

The annual Howard County Fair race will take place on
Sunday, June 15, and the Season Championship for the USRA
Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series will happen on
Aug. 22.

On Thursday, July 3, the bad-fast Stock Cars take center
stage for the Great American Stock Car Shootout. The stars
of NASCAR will grace the place on Tuesday, July 29, along
with an invasion by the O’Reilly USMTS Modifieds.

The curtain will close on the 2008 season on Friday and
Saturday, Oct. 3-4, with the USRA All-Star Invitational,
featuring drivers in every USRA-sanctioned division from
every USRA-sanctioned track. This will be a two-day
special for the USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA
B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks. USRA-licensed drivers
finishing (or currently ranked) in the top-20 in track
points will be eligible.

New for 2008 will be the Cresco Speedway Party Zone,
allowing vehicles and fans into the infield area for a
unique view of the action. A volleyball net and horseshoe
area are among the special features planned, and fans will
be able to bring their own food and drink into the Party
Zone.
