Pepsi Nationals Now One Giant Night Sept. 18 at I-55 Raceway |

 Saturday night special a major event in World of Outlaws Late Model championship battle
PEVELY, MO - Aug. 13, 2010 - The Pepsi Nationals is traditionally a massive one-day Dirt Late Model event, and I-55 Raceway and the World of Outlaws Late Model Series are excited to carry on that tradition on Saturday, Sept. 18.
The star-studded, $10,000-to-win, 55-lap Pepsi Nationals will cap a night of time trials, heat races and Last Chance Showdowns on I-55 Raceway's exciting high-banked 1/3-mile oval. The event will play a major role in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship battle, with less than 50 points separating Josh Richards, Darrell Lanigan and Tim McCreadie.
In addition, the exciting DIRTcar UMP Modifieds, DIRTcar UMP Sportsman and DIRTcar Pro-4 classes will all be featured, making for a huge night of action.
The event was originally scheduled to kick off on Friday, Sept. 17, but with weekday congestion and traffic issues from on-going road construction associated with the widening of Interstate 55, it's almost impossible for fans and teams to arrive in a timely manner on a week night, especially the local and regional competitors. To ensure everybody has a memorable event, officials determined it would be best to consolidate the entire program on Saturday, Sept. 18.
For tickets to this big night, order online at www.worldofoutlaws.com/tickets or call the World of Outlaws at 704-795-7223 or I-55 Raceway at 636-479-3219. Reserved seats are only $30 in advance and $32 on Sept. 18. General admission is $28 in advance and $30 on Sept. 18. If you're going to the pits, pit passes are $35 for DIRTcar Members and $40 for non-members. To join DIRTcar, sign up at http://www.dirtcarmembers.com.

DIRTcar RoundUp 'Party in Pevely' Rescheduled for October 14-15-16, 2010 |
|
|
PEVELY, MO -- March 17, 2010 -- DIRTcar UMP Racing and I-55 Raceway officials announced today the second edition of the DIRTcar UMP Roundup "Party In Pevely" will be postponed to Oct. 14-15-16, 2010.
Soggy conditions would have made it difficult for an event of this magnitude, one that features all eight divisions of DIRTcar UMP Racing, to go off without a hitch. Therefore, officials decided it was best to move the event originally scheduled for March 18-20 to the fall, where the inaugural event lived up to its moniker, the Party in Pevely.
"The Party in Pevely is a special event for us, and we want to make sure that everything about it is done right," said World Racing Group President Tom Deery. "With the conditions on the grounds this weekend, it just wasn't going to be possible for the Party to be a party. With an event like this, it's important for all aspects of the show to function, and for everybody's sake with the existing conditions we want to wait to make sure that can happen."
Competitors from across the region including 2009 DIRTcar Late Model National Champion Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill., I-55 Raceway co-owner Ken Schrader of Fenton, Mo., as well as special guest and NHRA Funny Car standout Cruz Pedregon were scheduled to compete for the prized Belt Buckle Trophy and Silver Roundup Platter that have become synonymous with the DIRTcar Roundup.
