Steven Brooks looks to rebound this weekend in the Show-Me State By Steven Brooks Racing / M.P.H. Promotions New Lenox, Illinois (Thursday, July 3, 2008): 20-year-old Steven Brooks was the 2007 ASA Late Model Series Most Improved Driver despite last season being his rookie campaign in the Lexington, Michigan based series. After a successful 2008 Florida Speedweeks down at New Smyrna Speedway, the New Lenox, Illinois driver was ready to begin the 2008 racing season in the ASALMS Northern Division with a world of momentum behind him. Although the first three events of the season haven't exactly gone as planned for the Prairie State Sophomore, he remains optimistic as the ASALMS Northern Division heads to the famed high-banks of I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Missouri this Saturday, July 5, 2008 for the Light Up The Night 150. "I'm excited about I-70, last year we qualified fourth quick in the June race, but had some mechanical problems." He explained. "We have had a really busy past couple of weeks since the Toledo wreck we had to replace everything from the firewall forward." "Our team has had a good car at all the races so far, but have not been able to put together the finishes that I know we should have." He added. "We just need a solid Top 10 run at I-70 so we can get some momentum building for the rest of the season as our schedule starts to get really busy." The last on-track action for Brooks was a moment he'd rather forget as he destroyed his one and only car in a vicious looking wreck at Toledo Speedway in the Glass Breaker 125 back on June 1st. Earlier that day, he accomplished a nice goal by winning the GM Performance Parts Shootout, his first win of any kind in a Late Model! "I'm just glad that we are out of the month of June! Now hopefully our luck takes makes a change for the better." Brooks remarked as he and his Steven Brooks Racing Team prepare to make the trip to the Show-Me State. "Besides picking up my first win in the Shootout race at Toledo we've had nothing but poor luck." He added. The damage to Brooks' ride from Toledo was too severe to fix in time for the next scheduled event just six days later on June 7th at LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway in West Salem, Wisconsin for the River Run 100. With no car to race, 5K Motorsports stepped up and offered Brooks the use of their third car! "I really want to thank Ken and Larry Wills and everyone at 5K Motorsports for helping us out at LaCrosse when we where not able to make the repairs necessary after our crash at Toledo." An appreciative Brooks relayed. "Everyone at 5K Motorsports really went out of their way by staying late and getting to the shop early so we could get the car ready and we I could not say thanks enough to all of them." He ended. Now with the primary machine fixed, Brooks is eager to get back going and pick up a few spots in the season long points chase. Currently, the 20-year-old is 15th in the ASALMS Northern Division Points Standings, 80 markers out of the Top 10. For the remainder of the 2008 season, Brooks will steer his own Steven Brooks Racing Chevrolet Impala with sponsorship from; Midwest Sign and Lighting as well as Benda Manufacturing, the Frangella Family, National Railway Equipment, Parvin-Clauss Signs, Hoffman Collision, and M.P.H. Promotions. In addition, Brooks is actively involved in the St. Jude's Childrens Research Hospital as well as Race Against Drugs (R.A.D.)

After combining efforts with the now defunct ASA National Tour in 2004, Co-Founders / Presidents, Ron and Sandy Varney reacquired 100% ownership in 2005 after the old ASA ceased operations. The Varney's retained the name of the ASA Late Model Series. Over the past five seasons, the ASALMS sanctioning body has developed into the cornerstone program for Crate Engine / Template Body Late Model racing throughout North America with a passion for short track racing that has elevated the program to be tagged as "America's Premier Short Track Series." The ASALMS will continue to move forward, bringing that passion to fans, competitors and tracks nationwide as it continues to provide a platform for exciting and affordable asphalt late model racing, while including a plethora of racers, from the veteran weekend competitors all the way to the stars of tomorrow's national series. <b><i><u>About the USPRO Cup Series</u></i></b> The USPRO Cup Series is a cost cutting traveling series under the sanctioning of the ASA Late Model Series Presented by GM Performance Parts. Shorter races with a 2-tire rule and shorter travel for the teams will allow the USPRO Cup Series to give drivers wanting to eventually move up into the ASALMS, a taste of what a Premiere Traveling Series is like.

(Chuck Gonzalez Photo) ASALMS Northern Division Points Leader, Eddie Hoffman throws all his eggs into the North basket for 2008!
By T.K. Racing / M.P.H. Promotions
Wheaton, Illinois (Wednesday, July 2, 2008): Eddie Hoffman has won the
first three ASA Late Model Series Northern Division Presented by
events of the 2008 racing season. Only a rain out at the last
scheduled event at LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway temporarily detained
his domination!
After originally planning on running the full schedule in the ASALMS
Challenge Division as well as select appearances in the USPRO Cup
Series, Hoffman and his T.K. Racing Team had a meeting and came to an
agreement on a very important decision with regards to the remainder
of the ASALMS North Schedule!
The Wheaton, Illinois veteran has hinted at it for the past few weeks
and it's now a reality as the 48-year-old will indeed make a run for
the 2008 ASALMS Northern Division Championship and forgo running for
the Challenge Division title!
Hoffman will still make occasional appearances in the Challenge
Division, but has decided against running for the championship to
concentrate on the ASALMS Northern Division beginning this weekend in
Odessa, Missouri.
The next race on the North schedule is at the wicked fast high-banks
of I-70 Speedway as the Light Up The Night 150 will highlight the
Fourth Of July Holiday Weekend. Hoffman, the most successful driver of
the 2008 season up to this point is looking for win number six overall
and a fourth straight triumph to start the 2008 ASALMS North Season!
"I'm looking forward to the Light Up the Night 150 on Saturday. The
high banked half mile track is a favorite of drivers and fans alike."
Hoffman commented as he prepares for a busy weekend that begins at
Grundy County Speedway in weekly Late Models competition.
"I'm sure the fans will see a good show at I-70 Speedway. It looks
like Mother Nature will cooperate and we should be good to go." He
added.
In addition to his Three Straight ASALMS North wins to start that
season, he also has Two Feature Wins in the USPRO Cup Series
competition at Grundy County Speedway and Berlin Raceway. Already this
season, Hoffman has won Five (5) ASALMS sanctioned Feature races this
season to add to his all-time leading win total of 14 Feature
victories!
For the 2008 season, Hoffman is driving his familiar Red #8 T.K.
Racing Ford Fusion with primary sponsorship from Lisa Thomas Salon.
Additional decals on the car come from Renegade Custom Coaches and
Trailers, Appleton Rack and Pinions, Integrity Sign Company, Feece
Oil, Simply Suspension, Advanced Energy, M.P.H. Promotions, and T.K.
Racing.

Trent Snyder returns to the site of his two Feature Wins that led him to the 2007 ASALMS North Title! By Trent Snyder Racing/M.P.H. Promotions Ironton, Minnesota (Wednesday, July 2, 2008): Defending ASA Late Model Series Northern Division Champion, Trent Snyder has had Saturday, July 5, 2008 circles on his calendar over and over again and with a permanent marker! That's because the reigning North Champion is heading back to the site of his Two ASALMS Northern Division Feature Wins in 2007 which led him to the Championship; I-70 Speedway in Odessa, Missouri. The wicked fast high-banks located East of Kansas City serves as hosts for what is now the fourth race of the 2008 racing season in the ASALMS North, the extended distance Light Up The Night 150! Coming into the 150-lap Feature, Snyder is seventh in the chase for the 2008 ASALMS Northern Division title, only 15 points out of the Top Five and he knows that he has his work cut out for him in his efforts to defend his crown. "I'm really excited for I-70. I've been waiting all year for this race, and hopefully we can have a similar result to last year!" Snyder remarked as he prepares to make the long haul from his Ironton, Minnesota home. "I think we will have a good shot at it, we have had really good cars all year long." Snyder and teammate, Scott Rueschenberg will make the trip to the famed Show-Me State speed plant with hopes of turning both of their seasons around! Snyder has been itching to get back to racing since the River Run 100 at LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway in West Salem, Wisconsin back on June 7th was rained out. "We were really bummed that LaCrosse got rained out." The 24-year-old continued. "I think we had one of the best cars there because we never put new tires on and were right at the top of the charts all day." Immediately after the I-70 race, Snyder will then make the long haul to Concord Motorsport Park in Concord, North Carolina to make his first career appearance in the ASALMS Southern Division in their fourth race of the season, the Super Sonic 100. "We're going to head out to Concord after I-70 and see what we can do down there against those guys." Snyder ended. For the rest of the season, Snyder will steer his familiar Red #88 with a new Chevrolet Impala body carrying sponsorship from Dondelinger Chevrolet as well as Performance Concepts, Jean Ross Eyewear, Elite Care, National Fleet Graphics, Hedman Headers, Shannon's Auto Body, Race Car Help.com, Desert Mountain Medical, M.P.H.

Promotions, and Trent Snyder Racing.
