CAMARGO, IL. (10-4-10) By Brian Liskai– The 2010 season has been one for the record books for the O’Reilly Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Cars. It will come to an end with the traditional Hoosier Fall Classic on Saturday, Oct. 9 at the ultra-modern high banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway.

Knoxville Nationals champion Tim Shaffer has already locked up his second straight All Star title and the $50,000 that goes with it. Shaffer has been the most dominant sprint car driver in the nation in 2010, having won 20 features including 15 All Star events and is coming off an impressive weekend with the World of Outlaws where he posted a second and a sixth place finish against the PA Posse at the National Open at Williams Grove Speedway.

Two-time series champion Greg Wilson holds an 81-point margin for second in the series point standings over 18-year-old Connecticut driver David Gravel, who has had a break-out summer, not only claiming the Knoxville Nationals Rookie of the Year title but the tough Ohio Sprint Speedweek championship as well.

Cap Henry, the 20-year-old Bellevue, Ohio native, has also had an impressive rookie season with the All Stars, wrapping up the $10,000 ROY title and currently sits fourth in the overall series points. Plainfield, Indiana’s Bill Rose has consistently finished in the top 10 throughout the summer with the All Stars, and sits fifth in the points while rookie Jared Ridge, from Snohomish, Wash., is solidly in sixth spot. Fairmont, Indiana’s Brandon Wimmer has piloted the Rick Ferkel machine into 7th in the standings, and posted his first win in the familiar #0 a few weeks ago with the O’Reilly Auto Parts Midwest All Star Series at Bloomington Speedway.

Stevie Smith is in eighth in the standings with 2001 Hoosier Fall Classic winner Dean Jacobs in 9th and ready to debut a new car. PA Posse member Lance Dewease rounds out the top 10.

Expect to see 2010 Attica Raceway Park champion Byron Reed make the tow to the Hoosier state as well as three-time All Star champion and 2003, 2008 and 2009 Hoosier Fall Classic winner Dale Blaney. Other possible drivers to compete for the $7,000 top prize could be 2004 Hoosier Fall Classic winner Phil Gressman, Pittsboro, Indiana driver Randy “The Hurricane” Hannagan, Attica, Ohio pilot Brandon Martin, Millersburg, Ohio’s Rob Chaney, Dalton, Ohio’s Lee Jacobs and a host of others.

Saturday’s visit to Lawrenceburg is the only stop in the Hoosier state for the traveling All Stars.

Joining the racing card will be the Lawrenceburg Chevrolet Non-Winged Sprints paying $3,000 to win.

General admission tickets are $25 with kids 7-12 for $7 and children 6 and under free. Pit passes will be $35. Pit gates open at 3 p.m. with grandstands opening at 5 p.m. and hot laps at 6 p.m.
