WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Nov. 5) - Officials from RL
Promotions, LLC, have announced that the motorsports
promotions and management company will continue to promote
weekly racing and special events at both the Cresco (Iowa)
Speedway and Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, in
2008.

As part of today's announcement, however, officials also
stated that RL Promotions has decided not to exercise
their option to remain as promoter of the Bloomfield
(Iowa) Speedway and the Scotland County Speedway in
Memphis, Mo.

"We're happy and excited about returning to Cresco and
Oskaloosa in 2008, but at the same time we're sad to say
we won't be back at Bloomfield and Memphis," said RL
Promotions president Todd Staley. "It's been a pleasure to
work with the fairboards, fans, sponsors and drivers at
both tracks, but we simply do not have the time or
resources to devote the energy that Bloomfield and Memphis
deserve and need to have successful programs there.
Hopefully by making this announcement early on, both
fairboards can do what is necessary to implement a new
management staff that will help both tracks excel in
2008."

RL Promotions began promoting events at the Scotland
County Speedway in 2004, and took over the reigns at the
Bloomfield Speedway two years later. Between the two
facilities, more than 100 racing events were staged,
including several big events for sprint cars, dirt late
models and the popular O'Reilly USMTS Modifieds.

"The USMTS shows at Bloomfield and Memphis were some of
the most exciting races on the schedule," added Staley,
who also heads the O'Reilly USMTS as well as the United
States Racing Association (USRA), which sanctioned weekly
racing at both racetracks. "We're hopeful that both tracks
will host future O'Reilly USMTS shows and continue the
USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series
tradition, but that is a decision that will ultimately be
made by whomever is in charge at those tracks in 2008."

As for the Cresco Speedway and Southern Iowa Speedway,
weekly racing on Friday and Wednesday nights,
respectively, will continue in 2008 with the USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series, along with several
special events dotting the 2008 calendar. USRA Modifieds,
Stock Cars, B-Mods and Hobby Stocks will again be a part
of the weekly racing action at both facilities.

The Cresco Speedway is a high-banked 4/10-mile clay oval
located 0.2 miles north of SR 9 on SW 7th (at the Howard
County Fairgrounds) in Cresco, Iowa. The Southern Iowa
Speedway is a half-mile semi-banked clay oval located 0.5
mile west of US 63 on SR 92, then four blocks north on N.
I St. (at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds) in Oskaloosa,
Iowa.
