USMTS Schedule update & Eagle date moved to Belleville

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa - There's a few less holes in the 2008 calendar now as
officials announced Tuesday the addition of four more races to the O'Reilly
USMTS National Tour to fill in the dates that were listed as to-be-announced
(TBA) venues, and to move one event from one track to another.

New to this year's slate are two historic Hawkeye State tracks that will
host the mud-slinging Modified masters for the first time in the 10-year
history of the United States Modified Touring Series.

On Thursday, July 24, the Independence Motor Speedway will host the O'Reilly
USMTS National Tour for the first time with new promoter Brian Lillie
securing the show for the 3/8-mile oval located at the Buchanan County
Fairgrounds in Independence, Iowa.

Then, on Saturday, Sept. 13, the Marshalltown (Iowa) Speedway will be the
site of a sure-to-thrill action-packed contest as the rugged road warriors
of the O'Reilly USMTS National Tour make their first-ever stop at the
popular high-banked 1/4-mile oval. In addition to headlining the second
night of "Havoc on the Highbanks" at the Central Iowa Fairgrounds, the race
will also be the next-to-last stop in the Casey's General Stores Hunt for
the O'Reilly USMTS National Championship.

Speaking of high banks, the O'Reilly USMTS National Tour will be returning
to the legendary Belleville (Kan.) High Banks for the first time in more
than six years on Tuesday, Aug. 12, for a special event that will feature
Kenny Wallace and other to-be-announced NASCAR stars taking on The World's
Fastest Half-Mile Dirt Track. The race will also serve as a crucial stop in
the Casey's General Stores Hunt for the O'Reilly USMTS National
Championship.

The date was originally set for the Eagle (Neb.) Raceway, but USMTS promoter
Todd Staley decided to move venues when it was discovered that nearby I-80
Speedway (11 miles away) had already scheduled a special sprint car race for
that date.

Garnering a second date on the 2008 slate, the Thunderhill Speedway in
Mayetta, Kan., takes the Thursday, June 19, slot which will be the third
stop in a five-day, five-State swing. The O'Reilly USMTS National Tour will
also be at the high-banked 4/10-mile oval on Sunday, March 16, for the 6th
Annual Kansas Spring.

For the fifth straight year, the O'Reilly USMTS National Tour 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.

The USMTS is celebrating its 10th Anniversary Season in 2008 with many
special promotions to show thanks to the fans, drivers, team members,
families and sponsors who have helped make the USMTS the premier dirt
modified series in the nation. More announcements about the 2008 season will
be forthcoming over the next few weeks.

Update: there were questions about when and if the Eagle Date would be rescheduled. It will be up to the USMTS. Eagle Raceway Promoter Roger Hadan, concerned with turnout in 2007 offered up the track, but only if USMTS leased the facility for the night.
