FREMONT, Ohio (Friday, Aug. 24, 2007) - Eight years ago, as a way to say 
"thank-you" for the support of the 305 sprint teams, Fremont Speedway came 
up with one of the richest races in the nation for the division. This year's 
edition, sponsored by Burns Iron & Metal, will continue that tradition on 
Sunday, Sept. 2, as the feature winner will take home $2,500!

The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints will take one lap in 
qualifications - for the first time this year - to determine heat race 
line-ups. The purse for the 22-car A-main will pay: 1. $2,500; 2. $1,000; 3. 
$700; 4. $500; 5. $400; 6. $350; 7. $325; 8. $300; 9. $280; 10. $260; 11. 
$250; 12. $240; 13. $230; 14. $220; $15. $210; 16. $200; 17. $190; 18. $180; 
19. $175; 20. $170. 21. $165; and 22. $160, thanks to associate sponsorship 
from Fremont Federal Credit Union and Engine Pro.

Also, for the first time in the division's history, the top 10 in the 
track's point standings will compete in an Australian Pursuit, featuring the 
single file start with the "if you're passed, you're out" format.

Fremont Speedway's 305 rules apply - aluminum wheels are okay for this race 
only (no bleeders). This race is open to 305 sprint drivers only.

The 305 sprint division has seen several first time feature winners this 
year including Dustin Dinan, Craig Kays, Kevin Lee, Todd Heuerman (who has 3 
wins on the year) and Stuart Brubaker. Point leader Andy Shammo has scored 4 
wins on the year with other features claimed by Coty Runion, Chris Lang and 
Brad Bowman

"The 305 sprint division has some of the best talent from top to bottom that 
you'll find in any class around the country," said Fremont Speedway Promoter 
Jim Ford. "This invitational has become a tradition to not only the drivers 
and teams, but the fans as well as they have witnessed some exciting, close 
racing over the years."

Past winners of the 305 Sprint Invitational are: 2000 - Bobby Foster; 2001 - 
Bryan Scott; 2002 - Roger Shammo; 2003 - Scott Miller; 2004 - Paul Weaver; 
2005 - no race; and 2006 - Paul Weaver.
Besides the 305 sprints, the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks and school buses will 
be in action (two races, one pitting professional school bus drivers against 
each other and the other with race drivers behind the wheel). The vintage 
race cars will also put on an exhibition.

Admission is $12 for adults; $10 for senior citizens, $6 for teens (11-16); 
and as always, kids 10 and under are free.

Gates will open on Sunday, Sept. 2 at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying set to begin 
at 6:15 p.m. and racing to get underway at 7:30 p.m. For more information
