Tucson, Arizona (October
31st, 2009) - With November just around the corner and
two of the largest racing events of 2009 nearing, two
racing icons confirm plans to compete at Tucson's USA
Raceway. Both drivers will vie for the top prize of
$15,000 and the right to add their names to the
prestigious list of past winners.
Kenny Schrader, 25 year NASCAR legend, stands on all
sides of the racing fence making not only a lucrative
career in the sport but a lifestyle that has been
mimicked by some of the modern day greats. Schrader, in
his words, only knows one thing and he knows it very
well from team owner, track promoter to legendary race
car driver.
His career started as a young boy racing go-carts and
reached the pinnacle most racers can only dream of.
Although he made it to the top, he has never lost sight
of his roots as he will make the haul to Tucson's USA
Raceway to take part in the $15k to win 5th Annual
Barnett Harley Davidson Wes Hurst Memorial.
Schrader, driving his own Federated Auto Parts/Phoenix
Parker Store/O'Rielly Chevrolet entry, will join a long
list of the best Modified drivers in the country all
looking to take home the richest modified payday of
2009.
"We are delighted to come to USA Raceway and be a part
of this race," commented Schrader. "I would really like
to thank Steve Stroud of the Phoenix Parker Store and
Joe Morales of O'Rielly Chevrolet for stepping up and
helping us get to Tucson. It will be a pleasure to have
these guys on board for the Wes Hurst Memorial."
The Wes Hurst Memorial, which takes place on the weekend
following Thanksgiving, enters its 5th year and is
anticipated to be the largest Modified event of 2009.
The best of the best will tackle USA Raceway's 3/8-mile
clay oval for three days on November 27, 28 and 29, with
nearly $100,000 in prize money to be distributed over
the course of the blockbuster event. An unprecedented
$15,000 top prize awaits the eventual winner as that
name will be added to past champions that include
Christy Georges, Richie Tosh, Tommy Weider and 2008
winner Terry Phillips.
Danny "The Dude" Lasoski will join Schrader in the trip
to Tucson, however, he will be coming a week early.
Lasoski will be looking to grab victory hardware and the
$15,000 winners check as he will take part in the 42nd
Annual KRONIK Energy Western World Championships
presented by Old Tucson Studio's.
Lasoski, 1991 Western World Champion, has earned a long
and established resume that ranks him as one of the top
sprint car drivers ever. Winning 4 Knoxville National
Titles, 8 Knoxville Raceway Championships, Championships
in the NST and WoO and all time Knoxville feature
victory leader, Lasoski will be looking to capture his
second Western World title to add to his long list of
accomplishments.
The "Dude" will make his way to Tucson and attempt to
pilot his Creason Pipeline Construction-Hoosier Tire
JEI-Kisler into USA Raceway's victory lane.
More than one hundred sprint cars will be expected to
take part in what will be one of the biggest sprint car
events in the country as drivers from all walks will
look to add their name to prestigious list of winners.
Both the winged and wingless forces will tackle USA
Raceway's 3/8-mile clay oval for three nights on
November 19th, 20th and 21st, with more than $100,000 in
"A" Feature money alone distributed over the course of
the blockbuster event. A $15,000 share awaits the winner
of the Lucas Oil ASCS season-ender on November 21st,
with the Discount Tire Co. ASCS Canyon Region conqueror
on November 21 pocketing $5,000.
