Camargo, IL (3-18-10) –This
weekend the teams and drivers of the O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions
will be shaking the dust off their equipment and will be heading to
Volunteer Speedway for the Kasey’s King of Bulls Gap presented by Budweiser
event. Friday and Saturday night the All Stars will be facing off against
the World of Outlaws in this co-sanctioned event promoted by NASCAR star
Kasey Kahne.
The last time the All Stars ran at the high banked 4/10-mile track was in
1998. Frankie Kerr won the event and Indy Car racer Sarah Fisher started
from the pole position and finished fifth. The All Stars also raced at the
Bulls Gap, Tennessee track in 1993 when Joey Saldana celebrated in Victory
Lane.
This weekend promises to be another thrilling event for the All Stars as
they take on the Outlaws. The last time the series was in action was during
Florida Winter Nationals. So far in 2010, there has not been a repeat
winner in All Star competition. Could that change this weekend? Will we see
another showdown where an Outlaw and All Star takes it down to the last lap
to decide the winner? To find out you will have to buy a ticket or listen
live on www.dirtvision.com.

admission tickets for adults will be $29 if purchased in advance and $35
the day of the race, with general admission tickets for youth (ages 11-15)
