Schrader and Lasoski Headed to USA Raceway

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.

Kevin, I am headed to USA Raceway Park this weekend and got all excited when I started reading your post that I was going to get another chance to see Ken Schrader race again. Excitement turned to disappointment when I realzed you were talking about a race date later in the month. Ken Schrader has always been a favorite of mine, hope I can make the races later in the month as well.

Hope you can make it for all the November races!

You will not be dissapointed this weekend as we are expecting a great car count. Mike Kirby will be there in his Late Model, I havent seen Mike race in a while since he left sprint cars and ventured over to the fender world. Should be a great weekend of racing.
