I-80 Military, Law Enforcement & Firefighter Appreciation w/Trailer Races Sunday

Greenwood, NE (August 13, 2007)-A camper, outhouse, pyramid and other wacky
buildings set on boat trailers will race around the 4/10 mile I-80 Speedway
as Big Red Keno presents the NASCAR Whelen All American Series and Wacky
Trailer Races. Also on tap is "Military, Law Enforcement and Firefighter
Appreciation Night" presented by Whelen Engineering.

All Military, Law Enforcement and Firefighters will receive free admission
when they show their ID, or show up in uniform. This night was rescheduled
from August 12, when Mother Nature set a torrential downpour loose on the
track, and the night's activities were cancelled.

"We're glad we were able to work with Whelen Engineering to find a date to
recognize those who put the safety of others before their own," said Jon
Schwartz, owner.

After the action of the NASCAR Whelen All American Series, fans will be
treated to Wacky Trailer races. Drivers and crew decorate and place objects
on boat trailers that they hitch up to cars. Then, they race around the
track and try to hit each other, and dodge the objects falling off of the
trailer.

Tickets are $10 for adults, seniors 62 and older and juniors 11-17 are $8,
and kids 10 and under are free. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., hot laps at 6:00
p.m., and racing action starts at 6:30 p.m.
