| As the start of the 2009 O'Reilly
Southern Nationals Series schedule rapidly approaches, officials from
the series have announced today that two venues have changed due to
the lackluster economy. The Fort Payne Motor Speedway in Fort Payne,
Alabama will now hold a $3,500 to win series event on Monday, July 20,
while the Crossville Raceway in Crossville, Tennessee will do the same
on Tuesday, July 21. It will be the first time that the cars and stars
of the O'Reilly Southern Nationals Series will visit Fort Payne, while
Eddie Carrier, Jr. (2005) and Chris Madden (2008) have visited victory
lane in Southern Nationals competition at Crossville.

| Following
a thrilling 2008 season, which saw the point battle between Chris Madden
and Dennis Franklin literally go down to the final lap, the O'Reilly
Southern Nationals Series is gearing up for their 2009 campaign. The
series, spearheaded by Dirt Late Model driver Ray Cook, is entering
their fifth season of competition. Once again in 2009, the O'Reilly
Southern Nationals Series will feature ten exciting events at ten different
venues in a matter of only thirteen days from July 13-25.
The staff
of the O'Reilly Southern Nationals Series would also like to welcome
Red Man on board as a marketing partner with the series in '09. For
over 120 years, Red Man brand tobacco has embodied the rich traditions
and values that have helped shape America. Established in 1887, Red
Man started out as a humble product advertised on the sides of barns
and bridges and quickly grew into one of America's most popular brands
of loose leaf chew. The tradition of quality continues today, as the
new Red Man premium moist snuff comes in the choice flavors and cuts
you have come to expect from Red Man. A Red Man trailer will be on hand
at all ten series events during the course of the 2009 season! You can
