Lonnie Wheatley, LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (October 1, 2008) – Race fans planning on taking in all the action at I-30 Speedway's 21st Annual O'Reilly Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires on October 23-25 can save some time and money by purchasing tickets in advance.

 

 

 

All three nights of wild Sprint Car action can be enjoyed with an advance ticket at the cost of just $45, a savings of $10 versus tickets purchased on race day.

 

 

 

Advance tickets will be sold through Wednesday, October 22. Tickets purchased after that at the event will be $15 on both Thursday and Friday, and then $25 on Saturday night.

 

 

 

Advance tickets may be ordered with a debit/credit card by calling 501-455-4567 or by sending a check or money order to 2900 Old Jacksonville Hwy, North Little Rock, AR 72117. Tickets ordered in advance will be available for pick up at will call.

I-30 Speedway's 21st Annual Short Track Nationals, offering up a $15,000 winner's share and $2,100 to start the Saturday night finale, will put the wraps on the 2008 season for the O'Reilly American Sprint Cars on Tour National series.

 

 

 

It also concludes a crucial three weekend of stretch of competition for the ASCS National Tour that also includes the Inaugural Cowtown Sprint Nationals in Kennedale, TX, on October 10-11 and then the 35th Annual Devil's Bowl Winter Nationals in Mesquite, TX, on October 17-18.

 

 

 

Last year's edition of the Short Track Nationals attracted a record number of 108 competitors from throughout the nation and beyond, with California's Jason Meyers making a dramatic last-lap pass of Shane Stewart to become the 14th different winner of the prestigious event.

 

 

 

Meyers joined a prestigious list of Short Track Nationals champions, which includes Gary Wright, the only driver to win the STN on more than one occasion since the event became the nation's premier showcase in 1993. Wright scored his first STN victory in 1995, then followed up with a second win in 1999. "The Texan" extended his total of STN triumphs to four with back-to-back victory drives in 2003 and 2004.

 

 

 

Other past winners include Jason Johnson (2006), Tim Montgomery (2005), Paul McMahan (2002), Jason Sides (2001), Mike Ward (2000), Tim Crawley (1998), Wayne Johnson (1997), Pete Butler (1996), Terry Gray (1994) and John Gerloff (1993).

 

Steve Kinser (1988, ’89 and ’91) and Sammy Swindell (1990) claimed early renditions of the Short Track Nationals before the 1992 finale was rained out.

 

 

 

Drivers planning on competing in the 21st Annual O'Reilly Short Track Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires are encouraged to submit their entries as soon as possible. Entries postmarked by October 11 are $150, with entries submitted after that $200.
