TULSA, Okla. (May 26, 2010) – The nation lost one of its most daring Sprint
Car drivers on Wednesday afternoon, as Jesse Hockett lost his life in an
accident in his Warsaw, MO, shop.

The 26-year-old suffered fatal injuries while working on an electrical box
in his trailer while prepping for a four-day Memorial Day weekend of racing
that was to include Thursday's USAC event at Terre Haute, weekly action near
home at Sedalia on Friday and then the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Series
Steve King Memorial at the Jetmore Motorplex on Saturday and Sunday.

The entire staff and families of the American Sprint Car Series along with
the entire racing community extend deepest sympathies to the family and
friends of Jesse Hockett at this time.

Details regarding services will be announced as they become available.
