Wilson Capitalizes on Blaney's Misfortune at Fremont Speedway

FREMONT, OH (5-24-08) by Bryan Autullo - All Star Public Relations Director

The O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions returned to Fremont Speedway to find a packed house, a smooth, racy track, and 41 410 sprint cars looking for a piece of the All Star purse.  Two-time All Star Champion, Greg Wilson, would walk away with the $5000 winner's share in his pocket at the end of the night.  Wilson, who won the previous week at Fremont's regular weekly show, was prepared to get back to victory lane when the money and points were on the line.

"We have been struggling lately. We dug in and worked harder in the shop...my crew has put in a lot of hours and it finally paid off. I also talked a lot with my uncle Hamp (Bob Hampshire, former car owner for Wilson) and he helped us figure some stuff out and get my head screwed on straight," said Wilson in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.

Wilson was critical of the track conditions the previous week, but was sure to make note of the hard work that the new promoters put in this past week to make sure things were better when the All Stars rolled into town.

"Also hats off to Andy James and Rich Farmer (Fremont promoters). I was hard on them last week about the track conditions and they worked their tails off and gave us a fantastic, racy surface tonight. It is so great to win at Fremont in front of these great fans," Wilson added.

Concord, NC— May 23, 2008— Lance Dewease has spent 20 years perfecting his craft in Central PA as one of the Posse's finest and has ventured outside of PA state lines from time to time with some success. After winning over 200 races and several track championships in "Posse Country", he took his show on the road in 2008 traveling full time with the O'Reilly All Stars while still running as many races around his home state as he can squeeze in.

Dewease took the opportunity this weekend to travel to Charlotte, NC for the Rite Aid Outlaw Showdown at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway. He made the most of his trip south, as he led all 30 laps of the contest to earn his fifth career Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series A-Feature win earning $12,000 live on SPEED Channel in front of a national audience and a sell-out crowd at the track.

“People say that we can’t win away from Pennsylvania,” he noted. “We race a lot there, and this is really the first year that we have done a lot of traveling. We are going to do a ton of traveling this year and we're running full time with the All Stars this year. I am looking forward to the rest of this year."

The 26th Annual UNOH Ohio Sprint Speedweek is just around the corner and the All Stars are geared up to make it exciting once again. Always a week to look forward to every summer, this year proves to be no different as a $10,000 point fund is in place to be distributed at the end of the week to some of the most talented sprint car drivers in the country. In addition, the Ohio Speedweek promoters have once again offered a $50,000 bonus to any driver who can win 4 of the 7 scheduled events. Dale Blaney came close to capturing the bonus money in 2007, coming up just short on the final night. Will there be a $50,000 winner in 2008?

Drivers are required to pre-register to be eligible for the Speedweek point fund and the bonus money. The forms are available on the All Star web site and the Ohio Speedweek web site. In addition to the possible bonus money being paid, there is over $197,000 up for grabs in scheduled purse money alone. Ohio Sprint Speedweek is one of the richest weeks of racing in the United States and has attracted many of the top names of the sport from across the country and as far away as Australia year after year, making it a must see event for any sprint car fan. A total of 93 drivers competed in Ohio Speedweek events in 2007 with Shane Stewart taking home the Ohio Speedweek Championship title.

CAMARGO, IL (5-14-08) by Bryan Autullo - All Star PR Director

Events scheduled for this weekend at Beckley Speedway and Tyler County Speedway in West Virginia have been postponed due to both tracks making a financial decision to move the dates to later in the season.  Both tracks have been suffering from a sluggish economy this early season, and both promoters decided they could not bear the financial risk at this time.  The O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions wish to apologize to drivers and fans for this late notice in the postponement of both events, but word was not received until late last weekend that the Tyler County event was also being moved.  No rescheduled dates have been set as of yet.

The All Stars will resume action on May 24th at Fremont Speedway which is now under new management.  The All Stars look forward to making a return visit to the historic speedway in Northern Ohio which will be a homecoming for several drivers who got their start racing there on a weekly basis.  For more info on that event visit www.fremontohspeedway.com.  Also, be on the lookout for several All Star teams to make an appearance at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, NC on May 23rd to join the World of Outlaws for that televised event.

"The Jet" Takes Off and Wins Bob Weikert Memorial Event

PORT ROYAL, PA (5-10-08) by Bryan Autullo - All Star PR Director

After heavy rains washed out the O’Reilly All Star’s travel plans to Central PA on Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway, the series moved on to Port Royal Speedway to take on the tough as nails PA Posse in their own back yard. The Posse and their rabid fans filled the speedway to see their local heroes fend off the invaders. With 32 cars on hand, 10 of which were traveling O’Reilly All Star regulars, the field was stacked with talent adding to the already exciting Central PA brand of winged 410 racing action.

The track was fast when the All Stars lined up for qualifying with Paul McMahan setting the Kistler Engines quick time for the 6th Annual Bob Weikert Memorial event. The invading All Stars showed their teeth in heat race action as 7 of the 10 travelers transferred into the A-main event. Rookie Lee Stark was running in position to transfer when he got sideways in turn two and kissed the inside fence.

The 6-lap O’Reilly All Star Dash win went to last year’s Bob Weikert Memorial winner, Greg Hodnett. Hodnett is always tough in All Star competition and is always a favorite to win at Port Royal Speedway. He led the way in the Dash with Dale Blaney in tow. Lance Dewease, Paul McMahan, Greg Wilson, and Brandon Martin rounded out the finishing order.

The All Star “Pick 6” redraw on the front stretch with six young fans drawing for the driver’s starting spots put Keith Kauffman on the pole next to Jeff Shepard. Row two would see Mark Smith line up inside of Dale Blaney. Row three put Paul McMahan inside of Todd Shaffer. With Dewease, Hodnett, and Wilson in rows four and five the front of the field was stacked and it was anybody’s race, however everyone knew "The Jet" was going to have the car to beat.
