"CREAM OF THE CROP" COMING TO OSKALOOSA FOR 22ND ANNUAL
MUSCO LIGHTING FALL CHALLENGE
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Sept. 29) - Officials from RL Promotions
and the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa are
readying one final extravaganza to end the 2008 season
with a bang as the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster comes
alive for the 22nd Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge on
Friday and Saturday, Oct. 10-11.
More than $40,000 in four classes up for grabs.
The event will feature the "cream of the crop" in all four
USRA-sanctioned classes-Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Mods and
Hobby Stocks-with a twist on the payoff that will see the
cream rise to the top in each division.
Each of the four classes will race for $1,000 to win on
Friday and each class will race for $1,500 to win on
Saturday!
The 22nd Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge will feature
some of the best drivers and teams that each division has
to offer, and the fans will get to enjoy a complete show
each night. All drivers in each class will draw each night
for heat race starting positions.
On Friday night, pita gates open at 4 p.m. and grandstands
will open at 4:30, with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7.
On Saturday, pit gates open at 3 p.m. with grandstands
opening at 3:30, hot laps at 5:30 and the mud starts
flying at 6 p.m. All seats are general admission, so get
there early!
Camping sites with hook-ups are available at the Southern
Iowa Fairgrounds.
There is no USRA license requirement to compete in this
blockbuster event, but licensed drivers will be racing for
national points on the next-to-last weekend of points for
the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series. With
tight points battles emerging, nearly every one of the
top-10 drivers in each class are expected as officials are
readying the pit areas for a possible 150 cars or more.
