Razorback State Double Header On Tap For O’Reilly MSRA This Weekend

Beebe, AR (4/29/08) – The O'Reilly MSRA Super Late Model Series resumes their 2008 campaign this Friday and Saturday night at Batesville Motor Speedway (Locust Grove, Arkansas) and Poinsett County Raceway (Harrisburg, Arkansas).

The 2008 O’Reilly MSRA Season Opener was held a few weeks ago at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas, and it was Louisiana’s Ray Moore picking up the season opening win along with the $2,000 first place check.  This weekend a strong list of competitors has voiced their intent to compete in either one or both nights of action. 

Heading the list is defending O’Reilly MSRA Champion, Joey Mack, from Benton, Missouri.  Joey recorded a second place finish in the season opener. 

Jeff Floyd from Walnut Ridge, Arkansas finished 2nd in the 2007 O’Reilly MSRA point standings will be on hand for both events as well.  Jeff had a rough start to the year in the season opener and will be looking to rebound this weekend. 

2007 O’Reilly MSRA Rookie of the Year, Billy Moyer Jr. from Batesville, Arkansas, will be in action both nights, and also will be looking to put a rough opening night in his rearview mirror.

2008 O’Reilly MSRA Rookie of the Year contender, Ross Camponovo, had disaster strike at I-30 Speedway, when he lost a transfer spot to the feature, when his steering wheel came off on the white flag lap of the b-main, causing him to miss the show.  Camponovo is locked and loaded for competition this weekend.

2007 O’Reilly MSRA Midsouth Dirt Track Champion, Kyle Beard from Trumann, Arkansas, will be in action on both nights.  Kyle picked up the biggest win of his career, to the tune of $5,000, at the O’Reilly MSRA finale at Poinsett County Raceway in Harrisburg, Arkansas in 2007.

H&K Motorsports teammates, Dewaine Hottinger and Jon Kirby from Russellville, Arkansas, will be on hand at both weekend events as they look to pick up their first O’Reilly MSRA feature wins of 2008.

Other drivers, who have indicated that they will enter at least one event this weekend include Dane Dacus (Tennessee), Steve Rushin (Missouri), Justin Asplin (Missouri), Ray Moore (Louisiana), Jack Sullivan (Arkansas), Gary Beard (Arkansas), Dusty Johnston (Arkansas), Andy Hockenhull (Arkansas), Blake Lane (Arkanas), Charlie Cole (Arkansas), Clay Fisher (Arkansas), and many more!

The weekend’s festivities get underway on Friday night at Batesville Motor Speedway in Locust Grove, Arkansas with a 40 lap event that will pay $2,000 to win and $300 to start.  Gates are scheduled to open at 5:30 pm on Friday, May 2 with racing scheduled to get underway at 8:00pm.  Adult grandstand admission is $20.00, with kids 11 and under admitted free.  Pit passes are $30.00.  For more information, please visit www.BatesvilleMotorSpeedway.net .
