I-80 Race of Champions June 24

This Sunday, June 24th, I-80 Speedway presents the 2nd Annual I-80 Speedway
Race Of Champions. Come see the special event winners and champions from the
previous three years take to the 4/10th of a mile dirt track in Grand
National Late Model for a 25 lap "A" main event. Some of the already
confirmed drivers include the 2006 Alphabet Soup winner Steve Kosiski. This
will be Kosiski's only time in competition this year after entering
retirement at the end of last season.

Henderson Colorado driver and 2005 WDRL and MLRA/NCRA/TORA/WDRA winner Kelly
Boen will be on hand. Boen will be driving a brand new Rocket Chassis out of
the Tilley Racing Stable.

The Eastern Iowa racing brothers Chad and Chris Simpson will also make the
trip. The brothers would each pick up a victory at the end of the 2006
season during the Cornhusker Classic WDRL races.

The "Marquette Missile" Kyle Berck will blast his way into I-80 Speedway
from Central Nebraska for this special event race. Berck made his way into
the race after winning the 2005 NCRA/TORA event. After his runner up
performance last year in the Race Of Champions, Berck will be bringing his
own #14JR hot rod to the track in pursuit of victory.

Also the 2006 Race Of Champions Winner Chris Spieker will be on hand to
defend his title. Spieker will once again team up will Tilley Racing, but
this year he will pilot his familiar #56.
