WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Jan. 28) - Officials from the United States Modified
Touring Series have announced that four more dates have been added to the
2008 schedule. Three of these are part of the O'Reilly USMTS National Tour
while one has been added to the O'Reilly USMTS Southern Series slate.

Two of the dates will find the O'Reilly USMTS National Tour making annual
holiday visits to the Steele County Speedway in Owatonna, Minn. The rugged
road warriors will invade the big half-mile oval on Memorial Day (Monday,
May 26) then again on Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 1). The newly-confirmed dates
makes for three shows at Owatonna, with the previously scheduled event on
Thursday, Aug. 14, joining the Labor Day event as races in The Hunt for the
O'Reilly USMTS National Championship.

Freshman promoter Jeff Herrig has signed on to host the O'Reilly USMTS
National Tour at the Buena Vista Raceway in Alta, Iowa. The event will mark
the first time in five years that the USMTS has tackled the tricky 3/8-mile
semi-banked clay oval, and will also feature NASCAR veteran Kenny Wallace in
competition at the Wednesday, June 18, event.

Adding to the mid-summer Speedweek for the O'Reilly USMTS Southern Series,
new promoter Tim Adams has scheduled a date for Tuesday, June 3, at the
popular Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Okla. (just across the State Line from
Fort Smith, Ark.), which will kick off five straight days of racing, June
3-7. The series travels to I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., on Wednesday;
Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, La., on Thursday; Monticello (Ark.) Speedway
on Friday; and Fast Trax Speedway in Chatham, La., on Friday. Each of the
first four events will pay $2,000 to win while the week's curtain closer at
Chatham will carry a $2,500 top prize.

For the fifth straight year, the O'Reilly USMTS National Events campaign
will kick off with a doubleheader at the state-of-the-art Junction Motor
Speedway in McCool Junction, Neb. The 5th Annual Nebraska Spring Thaw is
slated for Friday and Saturday, March 7-8, 2008. Friday's event will pay
$2,000 to win while the victor in Saturday's main event will pocket $3,000.
More than 70 entries are once again expected for the annual lidlifter at the
3/8-mile high-banked clay oval.
