Jonesboro, Arkansas (08/31/10) – Hunter Rasdon enjoyed a great weekend by the wheel of his #R5 MSH Motorsports/ATG Electrical Contractors/GRT By Rasdon/Roush Yates Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified as he picked up a $5,000 win and a second place finish in the 2nd Annual Open Wheel Modified Motor Madness.

Hunter entered the 2nd Annual Open Wheel Modified Motor Madness at Clayhill Motorsports in Atwood, Tennessee over the weekend. On Friday night, a stellar field of 64 Open Wheel Modifieds entered the event, and via qualifiers, Hunter locked into the 14th starting spot in the main event. Despite starting deep in the field, Rasdon staged a great charge through the pack and would ultimately work his way to the lead and the feature win, which was worth $5,000! The victory was his fifth of the 2010 campaign!

On Saturday night, the team entered the second night of the event, and after a pair of strong performances in the qualifiers, he started outside front row for the feature. Rasdon would lead early, but would see Johnny Bone Jr. slip past him for the top spot. Hunter would maintain the second spot for the rest of the event, and that is where he would finish in the final rundown.

The team is currently unsure if they will compete anywhere this weekend, and will post it on their plans on the team website at www.HunterRasdon.com later in the week.

Four Top Tens For Jason Rauen; Busy Week Ahead

Farley, Iowa (08/31/10) – Jason Rauen has been extremely busy over the past few weeks in his #98 Rauen Motorsports/Victory Circle M1 Chassis Late Model, and the upcoming week will be no different.

Last week, Jason entered four events and came away with four top ten finishes to show for his efforts.

Jason returned to action on Wednesday, August 25th with the Corn Belt Clash Series at Cedar County Raceway in Tipton, Iowa. Via preliminaries, Rauen locked into the third starting position for the 35 lap feature.  Rauen would battle throughout the top ten for much of the event before settling for a fourth place finish behind event winner, Jeff Aikey, Justin Kay, and Denny Eckrich.

Another Corn Belt Clash Event was held on Thursday night, August 26th at Highway 3 Raceway in Allison, Iowa. Jason would start the night strong once again as he won his heat race.  For the majority of the feature he would run second and use the low line to challenge the leader, but in the closing laps his tires began to go away, and he would ultimately fade to a fourth place finish behind race winner, Kurt Kile, Chad Simpson, and Chris Simpson.

Jason was back in action with the Corn Belt Clash tour on Friday night, August 27th at Chateau Speedway in Lansing, Minnesota.  For the third night in a row, Rauen would win his heat race and would go on to record another fourth place finish in the feature.

Jason entered a Weekly Racing Series Event on Saturday night at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota on Saturday, August 28th.  After finishing second in his heat race, Rauen would charge to the lead early in the feature then slipped back to the second spot.  On a late race restart, he would slip out of the racing groove and would fall back to an 8th place finish.

The upcoming week is packed with events for the team and will start with an event on Thursday, September 3rd at Farley Speedway (Farley, Iowa).  On Saturday, September 4th the team will travel to Deer Creek Speedway (Spring Valley, Minnesota) for a Corn Belt Clash event before moving on to Dubuque Speedway (Dubuque, Iowa) for a Weekly Racing Series Event on Sunday, September 5th.

Bobby Labonte Racing Wraps Up Summer Stretch
Pearson Going for Sweep; Neat to Bounce Back

Archdale, N.C. (August 31, 2010) - Bobby Labonte Racing (BLR) is ending their summer stretch this Labor Day weekend with two Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) events.  The team is returning to Portsmouth (Ohio) Raceway Park on Saturday for the Pepsi '75' River Days Rumble and to West Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, W.V. on Sunday for the 42nd Annual Hillbilly Hundred.

The series is returning to Portsmouth Raceway Park for the second time this season.  BLR team driver Earl Pearson Jr. won the Fourth of July event earlier this season.  Friday night's $20,000 to-win event will be taped and aired on September 25th at 1:00 p.m. on the Speed Channel.

West Virginia Motor Speedway is hosting a weekend full of events including live music, vendors, food and of course, great racing.  BLR will be in the LOLMDS feature event on Sunday with a $42,000 winning purse.  Pearson Jr. won the Hillbilly Hundred back in 2006 at Tyler County Speedway before it was moved to West Virginia Motor Speedway after the attendance outgrew the facility.

"The Hurricane" Earl Pearson Jr., driver of the No. 44 Lucas Oil Dodge Charger, is hoping that the current hurricane in the Atlantic, "Earl" will steer clear of the coast and give him the chance to sweep both events this Holiday weekend.  Pearson Jr. got his nickname when the last 'Hurricane Earl' was headed to the Florida coast, where Pearson Jr. is from.  His crew found "The Hurricane" as a perfect fit for Pearson.  Pearson Jr. is currently on a 13 race top-10 streak.
Driver of the No. 41 Red Buck Cigars Chevrolet, Brad Neat will go for another top-10 after finishing seventh at Bluegrass Speedway, his hometown track.  Neat is also looking to rebound from missing the heat race at Portsmouth back in July after a nasty wreck during qualifying.  The team hopes to continue to gain momentum as they battle for the top-10 in championship point standings.

Team Manager Jason Fitzgerald Comments on the Summer Stretch Results and going back to Portsmouth:
"It's really crazy that it is September already and our season is coming to an end.  Our summer stretch was really great. We had anticipated great results, but I think we ended up with 21 top-10 finishes, 12 top-five's and six wins.  Earl was able to go on a winning streak and Brad picked up his first victory of the season at Tazewell.  We were consistent and able to put down great results.  We really can't ask for much more.

"We're heading back to Portsmouth where Earl picked up the second win in his streak and really dominated.  He took that lead on Lap Three and led the field to the checkered flag.  Maybe going back here will get Earl going on another win streak.  Portsmouth is also where Brad took that pretty big crash and went to a backup car.  Hopefully we'll be able to measure Brad up a little better and get him into the feature this time.  He had a solid weekend last weekend and we want to keep that going.

"Like most tracks, Portsmouth is really weather sensitive.  This could be the roughest track or the slickest.  We are looking forward to putting on a good show for the fans, so hopefully the weather with cooperate and the track conditions will be good.

"We only have eight races left in the season and we are really looking to finish out the season strong and on the right foot.  I definitely see more wins coming for both Brad and Earl before the season is out.  We have the chance to bring home good money this weekend.  As one of the last big money races of the season, it would be really reassuring to end the season on a high note and be able to put that money towards any and all improvements for BLR and the 2011 season."
