FINDLAY, Ohio - As the Ohio Sprint Speedweek prepares to celebrate its 27th
anniversary, one of the tracks that helped establish the tradition is
returning to the speedweek schedule. Millstream Speedway in Findlay will
host night #3 of the Ohio Sprint Speedweek featuring the O'Reilly All Star
Circuit of Champion Sprints on Sunday, June 21.

Millstream Speedway in Findlay was one of the first tracks to host a
speedweek event, traditionally kicking off the week-long series of racing on
Sunday and drawing one of the largest fields of cars. The roar of racing
engines returned to the track located two miles west of Findlay off Exit 159
of I-75 last season, as the All Stars re-opened the speedway after eight
years of silence.

Millstream owners Greg and Marybeth Roe have teamed up with Fremont Speedway
promoters Rich Farmer and Andy James to bring Speedweek back to the
half-mile track on Father's Day.

"We're excited to be a part of bringing Millstream back to life. The track
has a strong reputation of involvement with Speedweek and last year's racing
proved the fans are eager for racing there," said Farmer. "A big thank-you
to Paul Kistler and Kistler Engines for sponsors the night of racing."

Joining the All Star sprints at Millstream will be the exciting 305 sprints. 
They will be racing for $1,000 to win and an increased purse throughout the 
A-main.

Gates will open at 3 p.m. with racing action heating up at 7 p.m.

Tickets will be $20 for adults; $15 for students and senior citizens with
kids 10 and under getting in free. Pitpasses will be $30.

Ohio Sprint Speedweek is being expanded this year to eight races over nine
days. It kicks off Friday, June 19 at Attica Raceway Park and heads to Tony
Stewart's Eldora Speedway on Saturday, June 20 before the traveling series
heads to Millstream for the $5,000 to win event. The All Stars then travel
to Wayne County Speedway near Orrville, Ohio on Monday before heading east
to Hilltop Speedway near Millsburg on June 23. Speedweek makes is first ever
appearance at Waynesfield Speedway on Wednesday before the teams take a
breather on Thursday, June 25. The high-banks of Limaland Motorsports Park
will see the All Stars in action on Friday, June 26, and wraps up with a big
$10,000 to win show on Saturday, June 27 at the historic Fremont Speedway.
