O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series Returns to WVMS and Lernerville in September |
|
Pittsburgh, PA (August 20, 2010) - Jason Shank - All Star Championship Racing Inc. The O’Reilly All Star Late Model Series will be back in action in a mere two weeks as the series returns to West Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, WV on Thursday, September 2 for the re-scheduled ‘Mark Balzano Memorial’ which will now open the 42nd Annual ‘Hillbilly Hundred’ Weekend. Rain moved into the area on the originally scheduled May 16th date after the Late Model preliminary races had been completed. The field is set and only the 40 lap, $5,000 to win feature is left for the All Star Late Models. 'We wanted to get everyone who was qualified for the 'Mark Balzano Memorial' back for the rescheduled date,' Series Director Jason Shank stated. 'With having our ASLMS drivers, and drivers from other series locked into the event, it was tough finding a date to where everyone was off to get them back to the 5/8 mile speed plant. BDS promotions did a great job finding us an open spot so that we could finish what we started in May.' The following will mark the series’ return to Pennsylvania as General Manager Gary Risch Jr. welcomes the ASLMS to the illustrious, semi-banked 4/10 oval, Lernerville Speedway, Sarver, PA on Friday, September 3 for the All Star ‘Dual in the Dirt’ as the O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series will share the spotlight with the hot shoes of the ASLMS. ‘This show is always one of the most anticipated events on our schedule,’ Risch said, ‘the fans really enjoy having both classes there racing for extra money and it’s always a great show.’ Series Director Jason Shank said ‘Lernerville is a first class facility and has always treated the All Stars in a first class manner. With that in mind, the ASLMS has decided in effort to support the Lernerville Speedway local contingent, the series will utilize Lernerville Speedway’s UMP tire rule.’ The ‘Dual in the Dirt’ will be the second and final appearance of the 2010 season at Lernerville Speedway for the ASLMS after the series opened the season at ‘The Action Track’ on April 30. Current ASLMS point leader Rob Blair held off hard charging Dave Hess Jr., Jason Covert, and Boom Briggs to capture the win in the ‘Showdown in Sarvertown’. A complete ASLMS program will be on tap at Lernerville Speedway including the Victory Signs Time Trials presented by Fleming Design Solutions, Rocket Chassis Heat Races, Dirtfix.net B-Main’s presented by Stivason Photos, and a $5,000 to-win 50-lap feature event.
