MLRA Gears Up for 2008 Season-New Dates Added!
Buckner, MO (March 8th, 2008)-Anticipation
continues to build as The O'Reilly MLRA
Presented by Lucas Oil prepares to kick off
it's 20th season of Dirt Late Model Racing
with the first race of the 2008 season now
just less than one month away.
The 2008 Tour gets underway on Friday,
April 4th with the season opener at
the Midway Speedway in Lebanon,
Missouri. The Midway Speedway has new
owners for the 2008 season as local
businessmen Jack Jones and Tony Jackson
Jr. purchased the speedway during the
off season. This will be the first of
two visits to the Midway in 2008 by the
O'Reilly MLRA as they return on August
22nd. For

Midway Speedway, please visit

The Diamond of
Dirt Tracks, the Lucas Oil Speedway
is next up on Saturday, April 5th as
The Bolivar Herald-Free Press
presents Round One of the O'Reilly
MLRA Late Model Challenge. This will
be the first special event of the
year at the Wheatland,
Missouri facility and is the first
of five visits that the MLRA will
make there this season. Kevin Greven
returns for his second season as
General Manager of the Speedway and
the 2008 season promises to be their
biggest yet. For information
concerning The Lucas Oil Speedway,
please visit them online at

Officials with The MLRA have not
only been working on the season
opener but they have also worked
very hard to add two huge dates
to the schedule. The first of
these will be on Wednesday
night, May 7th at the Lakeside
Speedway as Clint Bowyer and
Shannon Babb will be wheeling
their Clint Bowyer Racing Late
Models with the MLRA. This
should be an outstanding evening
of racing action at the
beautiful Kansas City, Kansas
area facility. For information

The second additional date will
see The O'Reilly MLRA make their
second visit of the year to the
