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.)

<b><i><u>About the ASA Late Model Series:</u></i></b>
The ASA Late Model Series was formed in 2003 when it was originally
 known as the USPRO Cup Series. 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.

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.

Snyder's part-time teammate, Rueschenberg is driving a team car to  
Snyder's and his #25 Chevrolet Impala will make select appearances  
this season in both the Northern and Challenge Divisions carrying  
decals from his own Desert Mountain Medical as well as Elite Care,  
Breg Incorporated, GAT Racing, M.P.H. Promotions, and Trent Snyder  
Racing.

rest of the Trent Snyder Racing Team and to inquire about additional  
sponsorship opportunities for the remainder of the 2008 racing season,

"I've been wanting to book a race at Salem Speedway since the USPRO Cup
 Series became the ASA Late Model Series in 2004. For one reason or
 another, we just couldn't make it work and now finally we were able too
 and I'm very happy about it!" ASALMS Co-Founder/President, Ron Varney
 said.

"This will be a great race and what a race to lead into the next ASALMS
 Challenge Division show at Bristol Motor Speedway here in a couple of
 weeks!" Continued Varney. "Plus, this is the second leg of the O'Reilly
 Auto Parts ASA Late Model Triple Crown Series! I can't wait for this
 race!" Varney ended.

"We are extremely excited about the first ever appearance of the ASA
 Late Model Series to the high banks of Salem Speedway." Said General
 Manager Richard Deaton. "The ASA Late Model Series is quickly becoming one
 of the premier short-track series in the nation and we're certainly
 happy to be hosting an ASALMS event."

In it's over half-century of existence; the Salem Speedway has enjoyed
 the recognition of being one of the most unique and renowned tracks in
 the country. The .555-mile oval that features imposing 33-degree banked
 turns was built strictly for speed. Sprint cars accelerate down the
 straights at speeds reaching 140 MPH.

Salem is a track steeped in history since 1947 with many of the giants
 in auto racing having competed on the demanding high banks at some
 point in their careers.

Drivers such as A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones, Troy
 Ruttman, Bobby Unser, Darrell Waltrip, Bobby Allison, Benny Parsons, Jeff
 Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Ken Schrader, Rusty Wallace, Mark
 Martin, Jimmy Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman, just to name a few,
 grace the list of former Salem competitors.

With such a storied racing history, it is not surprising that Salem has
 developed a strong racing heritage and tradition that continues today
 with some of the top names in open wheel and stock car competition
 visiting the famed oval each racing season.

Situated in the scenic hills of southern Indiana, the Salem Speedway
 roars to life with upwards of 14 to 18 "special events" per year.

With a season stretching from April to November each event is "special"
 in its own right with national sanctioning bodies like the ASA Late
 Model Series. In addition, USAC, ARCA, CRA, and the USAR Hooters Pro Cup
 Series are all helping bring the finest in professional automobile
 racing to the world famous facility.

Salem Speedway is located in south central Indiana, just 90 minutes
 south of Indianapolis and 45 minutes northwest of Louisville, Kentucky.
 The track is situated just 20 miles west of Interstate 65 on State Road
 56.

The address is 2729 Highway 56 West in Salem, Indiana. For more

1. Celebrate the Fourth of July Weekend at I-70 Speedway with the
 ASALMS Northern Division and the Light Up The Night 150!

Lexington, Michigan (Tuesday, July 1, 2008): JUST ANNOUNCED: Jerry
 Tracy from Fair Grove, Missouri will be helping out the Late Model Racers
 that make the trip to I-70 Speedway. One of the biggest expenses these
 days is fuel, especially diesel. He is going to help pay the fuel bill
 of the team that pulls the farthest and finishes outside of the top 10.

He will also do the same for the Racer/Team who has the hardest luck.
 He is donating $150.00 for each team for a total of $300. 

"I know its not enough to pay their fuel bill but at least it will help
 and it gives me a chance to help someone out who could probably use
 it." stated Jerry. 

"We appreciate Jerry Tracy's participation and we know beyond a shadow
 of a doubt the Drivers who receive these donations will greatly
 appreciate it." Stated ASALMS Director of Operations, Brad Barlow.

"It's fans like Jerry who make Short Track Racing what it is, a Family
 Sport where everyone pitches in and does what they can to help. We look
 forward to a very exciting weekend at the High Banks of I-70 Speedway
 where you only need the EDGE OF YOUR SEAT!"
