FREMONT, Ohio - The gauntlet has been thrown...Fremont Speedway is
challenging the drivers of the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws and the
O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions. Can the world's best sprint car
drivers defeat the tough regulars in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints
at "The Track That Action Built" for $15,000?

 The purse for the Abdoo Wrecking Presents the Jim Ford Classic Season
Championship Night  - Saturday, Sept. 20 - for the 410 sprints will be 
$42,900 ($500 to start the
A-main)!

"We'll put our drivers up against anyone. The World of Outlaws will drive
right by here on their way east to their Sunday race. The All Star drivers
can attest to how tough it is against our regular drivers. There's a lot of
money on the line...this could be a lot of fun," said Fremont Speedway
Promoters Rich Farmer and Andy James. "Like most racers this year, the All
Star and World of Outlaw drivers have had their share of rain-outs....we're
hoping they will be hungry to race and take home some big money."

Fremont drivers like Byron Reed, David Harrison, Mike Linder, Mike Dussel,
Craig Mintz, John Ivy, Mark Keegan and more look forward to the challenge of
racing against the likes of All Star drivers Dale Blaney, Lance Dewease, Greg
Wilson, Randy Hannagan, Brandon Martin, and Brian Ellenberger or World of
Outlaw drivers Daryn Pittman, Chad Kemenah, Terry McCarl, Shane Stewart, Sam
Hafertepe Jr. or others.

Last year, former outlaw driver Stevie Smith came to Fremont Speedway and
took home $15,000.

And the 410 sprints aren't the only ones getting an opportunity at extra
cash.

The drivers in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and Fremont
Fence Dirt Trucks will see increased purses. And, every driver will run in a
feature. Both divisions will be split up into odds (1,3,5,7, etc.) and
events (2,4,6,8, etc.) in points and will run in a feature event only. The
winners of the 305 sprint features will take home $750 ($9,420 total purse)
while the winners of the two dirt truck features will each claim $500
($4,780 total purse).

"This format also gives some guys a chance to advance in the final point
standings and rewards the 305 and truck drivers for their tremendous support
throughout the season," said James.

Farmer and James also decided upon the name - Abdoo Wrecking Presents the
Jim Ford Classic Season Championship Night - to honor the former speedway
promoter.

"Let's face it, if it weren't for Jim Ford and the investment and sacrifices
he made eight years ago, Fremont Speedway might not even be around. This is
the least we can do to honor his commitment to this race track and to the
race teams and fans," added Farmer.

More importantly, Farmer and James are committed to keeping the admission
price affordable for families for such a big show. Grandstand admission for
adults will only be $20 while senior citizens will pay $15 and teens will
cost $10 (kids 10 and under are free). Pit passes will be $30.
