ASCS Midwest Region Ready for Rising City on Friday

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (May 29, 2007) – Racing action continues
for the American Sprint Car Series Midwest Region with another
critical Nebraska stop this Friday night as the series takes to Rising
City's Butler County Motorplex.

Entering the event, Lincoln, Nebraska's Don Droud, Jr., has climbed to
the top of the series championship point charts with a slim 12-point
lead over Missouri's Brian Brown.

Nebraska native Rick Ideus is just another 14 points back in fourth,
with South Dakota's Clint Garner and Kansan J.D. Johnson rounding out
the current top five. The balance of the current top ten includes
North Dakotan Natalie Sather and South Dakotan Chuck Swenson followed
by the Nebraska trio of Mike Chadd, Stu Snyder and defending series
champion Toby Chapman.

Three different drivers have reached ASCS Midwest Region victory lane
in as many events thus far in 2007, including Brian Brown, Chuck
Swenson and Garry Lee Maier. Maier, who topped this past weekend's
event at McCool Junction, won last season's ASCS Midwest Region event
at the Butler County Motorplex.

Friday racing action kicks off at 8:00 p.m.

The high-banked, 3/8-mile Butler County Motorplex dirt oval is located
in Rising City, NE, eight miles south of US 30 on US 81, then two
miles east on CR 38, then 0.7 miles south on CR C, then east. For
