Noble Turning Pink With A Purpose

BLOOMING PRAIRIE, Minn. (April 30) – For five nights this season, Mark Noble
will be racing a very special Breast Cancer 3 Day graphics scheme as he
competes with the mud-slinging Modifieds of the USMTS Casey's General Stores
National Tour.

"Modifieds are my passion, and to me, there just isn't anything better,"
said Chris Brown, who grew up watching and cheering on Mark Noble throughout
his racing career. "Having seen several pink cars on the track in NASCAR, I
decided to pursue bringing that idea to a more local level."

Noble, who turns 53 on July 3, is one of the best-known and most-liked
drivers ever to race on dirt in America's heartland. With more than 600 main
event wins in a racing career that spans more than 35 years, the
second-generation racer is also one of the winningest.

In December, Brown approached Noble about turning his car pink and selling
T-shirts featuring the car as a fundraiser for Brown's Breast Cancer 3 Day
team.

The Breast Cancer 3 Day is a 60-mile walk and one of the boldest statements
a person can make in the fight against breast cancer. Last year, Chris's
team of six raised almost $24,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure to benefit
breast cancer awareness and research. This year the team is back with 14
members strong and have set a goal of raising more than $50,000 for their
cause.

Chris is a 30-year old rabid race fan who lost his girlfriend, Jolene, to
breast cancer. She was just 27 when it first appeared and before it was all
over she had fought it twice.

"I introduced Jolene to the world of racing and this car is a bold statement
to say 'I am still fighting,'" said Chris. "This car is dedicated to Jolene
and to all women in hopes that those who have encountered breast cancer can
survive, and those who haven't never will.

"This car is about our past, present, and future. With the help of many,
this project has grown bigger than I ever thought it would and will continue
on into the future."

Noble will be piloting the pink 'War Machine' from May 22 to May 25 in
competition with the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour. Noble will
make his final appearance with the unique paint scheme on Tuesday, June 2,
when the USMTS road warriors visit the Hancock County Speedway in Britt,
Iowa.

"Tour for a Cure" schedule of events:
Friday, May 22 … Chateau Raceway, Lansing, MN
Saturday, May 23 … Deer Creek Speedway, Spring Valley, MN
Sunday, May 24 … Dodge County Speedway, Kasson, MN
Monday, May 25 … Mississippi Thunder Speedway, Fountain City, WI
Tuesday, June 2 … Hancock County Speedway, Britt, IA

Race fans can help Chris's cause and join in the fight to wipe out breast
cancer by purchasing a special, limited edition Mark Noble T-shirt, can
koozie, pink ribbon or by making a free will donation to their team. All
proceeds will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Posposil Family Resigns as Black Bird Bend Promoters

Citing concerns about the Tribe's demands requiring track employees to take
drug tests, disclose financial information and pay a licensing fee, Jerry
Posposil announced the resignation of himself and wife Shannon as promoters
of Black Bird Bend Speedway in a message board post on dirtdrivers.com

In the post, Posposil expressed that the requirements were presented to him
with short notice and added to a long list of conflicts with management. The
track is ready for operation, but no promoter has been named to the
position.

ASCS Regional Clash This Weekend at I-80 Speedway

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (April 6, 2009) – Midwest action for the
American Sprint Car Series gets under way this weekend as the opening two
legs of the ASCS Midwest vs. Northern Plains Challenge Series takes place at
Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway.

A stout field of competitors is expected for each night's $1,500-to-win
card, with Friday's top four finishers locked into Saturday night's main
event. Both nights award full points to both the ASCS Midwest and Northern
Plains Regions.

Missouri's Brian Brown has found I-80 Speedway to his liking over the past
several years, winning two of the three ASCS Midwest vs. Northern Plains
feature events contested over the past three seasons. Brown topped fields
of over 50 entries on both occasions, with one of the 2006 events succumbing
to weather and both of last year's cards nixed by Mother Nature.

Overall, Brown has topped four of nine ASCS features contested at I-80
Speedway over the past four years, with other ASCS winners at I-80 including
Jack Dover, Chuck Swenson, Billy Alley, Jake Peters and Terry McCarl.

This weekend's double opens up a full slate of competition for the ASCS
Midwest Region in 2009, with 13 events set at a half dozen tracks throughout
Nebraska, Missouri, South Dakota and Iowa. The ASCS Northern Plains forces
will join in on a half dozen of those events over the course of the season.

Concentrating on the Lucas Oil ACS Sprint Car Dirt Series in 2009,
Springfield, Nebraska teen Jack Dover is expected for Friday night's action
aboard the familiar Gary Swenson entry. Dover is the reigning ASCS Midwest
Region champion.

Harwood, North Dakota's Lee Grosz kicks off his bid for a third consecutive
ASCS Northern Plains championship with this weekend's double after edging
Sioux Falls shoe Eric Lutz for the top spot last year. Lutz has yet to miss
a Northern Plains event in three years of action, while Grosz has missed
just one show.

Racing action is slated to get under way at 7:00 p.m. on both Friday and
Saturday night. A practice session is also slated for Thursday night from
6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway is located in Greenwood, NE, between
Lincoln and Omaha off I-80 Exit 420, then 0.4 mile north on SR 63 then west.

Lucas Oil ASCS Adds I-90 Speedway Event - National, Midwest & N. Region Points

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (April 2, 2009) – Another date has been added
to the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters
schedule, as South Dakota's I-90 Speedway is set to host the series in July.

The Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Series will stop off at Hartford, South
Dakota's I-90 Speedway for the third consecutive year on Saturday night,
July 11.

The event atop the semi-banked, 3/8-mile dirt oval follows on the heels of
the $15,000 to win event at Presleyland Motorsports Park in Chandler, IN, on
July 3-4 and serves as an ideal stop as teams make their way to the
Northwest for ensuing events at Washington's Grays Harbor Raceway Park (July
17-18) and Oregon's Cottage Grove Speedway (July 24-25).

It marks the third consecutive year for the nation's premier touring series
to invade I-90 Speedway, with reigning champion Jason Johnson picking up the
win in 2007 after apparent victor Sam Hafertepe, Jr., came up light at the
scales. Last year, Tony Bruce, Jr., fended off Gary Wright in a wild duel
through lapped traffic for his second career series victory.

The July 11 event will also award points to both the ASCS Midwest and
Northern Plains Regions.

The Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters kicked
off the 2009 campaign with the 36th Annual Devil's Bowl Spring Nationals on
March 20-21. With 67 competitors taking part in the opener, Shane Stewart
topped the preliminary feature before Jason Johnson won a hard-fought Spring
Nationals finale.

Foul weather wiped out Oklahoma City's State Fair Speedway Spring Nationals
on March 27-28. No makeup date has been determined.

The Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series fires back into action on Saturday
night, April 18, at Little Rock's I-30 Speedway, with a May slate of events
that includes Tri-City Speedway (Granite City, IL) on May 1, Volunteer
Speedway (Bulls Gap, TN) on May 8-9 and the $10,000 to win Steve King
Memorial at the Jetmore (KS) Motorplex on May 23-24.

The Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters is
currently slated for 35 nights of racing action at 17 different tracks
throughout the nation, with the country's top Sprint Car drivers set to
battle it out for their share of the $250,000 points fund.

The American Sprint Car Series, in its 18th year of sanctioning Sprint Car
