USMTS Implements Stimulus Package

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Feb. 4) - During his famous inauguration speech in
1933, Franklin Roosevelt told a nation in the depths of the depression that
"the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

For racecar drivers, the list may be a bit longer. Volatile fuel prices and
the escalating costs associated with parts and repairs are just the tip of
the iceberg when it comes to the material needs of today's competitors. From
the most well-funded teams in NASCAR to the pure stock driver from Anytown,
USA, the rising cost of racing is enough to strike fear in anybody's
checkbook.

"Obviously there's an uneasiness about the economy right now," said USMTS
president Todd Staley. "Everybody from sponsors and team owners to track
operators and race fans are tightening their belts and watching their
balance sheets closer than ever. We've been extremely blessed with enormous
support from sponsors, drivers and fans during these past ten years, so we
wanted to add some stimulus of our own to the extended USMTS family.

"The USMTS offers one of the best values in all of motorsports. For that
reason, we feel that the fans will continue to include USMTS events as part
of their entertainment budget so long as the product on the racetrack
continues to be the best of the best."

More than 800 different drivers from 23 different States took part in USMTS
events in 2008 as the rugged road warriors staged nearly 80 events at 45
unique venues in 14 different States throughout America's heartland.

Therefore, by unanimous bipartisan consent of the congress of the United
States Modified Touring Series, the following stimulus package shall be
immediately implemented for the 2009 racing season:

ARTICLE I: For the third straight year, the USMTS is holding the line on
ticket prices for fans attending USMTS National Tour and USMTS Southern
Series events. For most shows, the recommended adult ticket price will
remain $15, with discounts for kids and free admission for young children.
Furthermore, the USMTS will be offering new ways for fans to get discounts
on tickets, contests to earn season passes and more.

ARTICLE II: Drivers will see no increase in 2009 for the cost of entry fees
or a USMTS license. There is no requirement to purchase a USMTS license to
compete in any USMTS event. Benefits enjoyed by licensed drivers includes
higher event purses and bonus payouts, increased tow money, discounted entry
fees, contingency awards, points funds, provisional starting spots,
increased media recognition, a personalized driver profile page at
www.usmts.com and more.

ARTICLE III: However, drivers will see an increase when they visit the pay
window after each event. For instance, fourth place was $800 and will now be
$900 for licensed drivers, while seventh through tenth in each USMTS
National Tour main event will also see an increase in prize money. All
licensed drivers that qualify for the Holley "A" Main will be guaranteed at
least $300, up from $250 last season.

ARTICLE IV: The 2009 race season will see two track provisionals at all
USMTS races during the 2009 season. On nights when there are 40 or fewer
cars entered, 20 will qualify through the heat races and Real Racing Wheels
"B" Mains. Two USMTS provisionals will be awarded, along with two track
provisionals to create a 24-car Holley "A" Main starting field. On nights
when 41 or more cars check in, 22 qualifiers will be joined by two USMTS
provisionals and two track provisionals to make up a 26-car starting field.
Track provisionals will generally be awarded based on track points, but
drawings or other means may be used at the discretion of the promoter.

ARTICLE V: The Top Dog bonus will remain in effect for both the USMTS
National Tour and USMTS Southern Series in 2009. Beginning with the third
event in each region of the USMTS National Tour, drivers will be guaranteed
a minimum of $400 at each event where that driver is among the top-10 in
points for that region. USMTS Southern Series drivers will be guaranteed a
minimum of $300 at each event where that driver is among the top-10 in
points, while drivers ranked 11th through 15th will earn a minimum of $200.

ARTICLE VI: Finally, for the fourth straight season, the Casey's General
Stores Hunt for the USMTS National Championship will crown the USMTS
National Champion. Eighteen events make up The Hunt for 2009, with all
single-day events paying $3,000 to win. The Sept. 18-19 doubleheader at the
North Central Speedway in Brainerd, Minn., will pay $2,000 to win on Friday
and $3,000 to win on Saturday. The 11th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree is
set for Sept. 24-26, with $2,000 going to the winner on Thursday, $4,000 on
Friday and $6,000 on Saturday.

God bless America.
