Dave Steele - 2004-2005 USAC Silver Crown Champion.
Josh Wise - 2005 USAC National Midget Series Champion.

The

Four races are scheduled for the Friday night event.
Drivers will journey from across the U.S. to participate in the Sprint,
Midget, Focus Midgets and Legends events. The respective fields are
filling quickly since the
call for entries went out five weeks ago.
Masters
Entertainment will produce two shows to be broadcast later on ESPN2.
The first of two half-hour shows will focus on the events leading up to
the final two features while the second half-hour will highlight the
night's Sprint and Midget races, which will include the "dash for the
cash" the $50,000 Impact Racing bonus, awarded to the driver who wins
the first feature and then, starting from the rear of the field in the
second race, takes the checker first in that event. Broadcast dates
will be announced soon.
It will be a fun night, with additional
grandstands and expanded food offerings to accommodate our fans,
declared Steve Lewis, promoter of the MOPAR-PRI Sprint & Midget
Classic, and producer of the PRI Trade Show. We have a lot of
manufacturer and sponsor support, and total prize money is now set at
more than $125,000. There¹s a lot to offer all competitors, especially
those performing double duty that night.
Starting the evening off will be the popular drifting exhibition sponsored by Nitto Tire.
