double-header at Sugar Creek Raceway Friday and Tri County Racetrack on
Saturday

Atlanta, GA - The O'Reilly Auto Parts United Sprint Car Series presented by
Lucas Oil will contest two full nights of winged sprint car racing at tracks
in the mountains of North Georgia and Western North Carolina in the 1st
Annual O'Reilly USCS "Thunder in the Mountains" Shootout this coming
weekend. This Friday night May 2nd the series visits Sugar Creek Raceway in
Blue Ridge, Georgia for Round One. On Saturday night the Nationally touring
series completes the two-night excitement-charged weekend at Tri County
Racetrack in Brasstown, North Carolina.

The location of these two made-for-sprint-car-racing action tracks make this
one of the most fan and race team friendly weekends of the 2008 season on
the O'Reilly USCS racing schedule. A total of $5000 is up for grabs to any
driver who can clean house both nights. Driver entries from eight states
have been received. And some of the best are coming to the mountains to try
and grab all the dollars.

"The pairing of these two great race tracks "just across the stateline" from
each other and just 32 miles apart from each other gives race fans a rare
opportunity to see some of the best sprint car drivers in the country twice
in one weekend without going to a whole lot of trouble."Points out O'Reilly
United Sprint Car Series Founder and President, Pete Walton. " It also gives
the race teams a chance to compete for some good money at two different race
tracks an economical distance apart and gives them ample time to prepare and
repair between events. Motels are economical this time of year in both towns
and travel between the tracks is minimal and makes stress-free getaway for a
great weekend of early season racing action", concluded Walton.
