LEBANON, Mo. (Nov. 27) - The Midway Speedway in Lebanon,
Mo., will have new owners for the 2008 racing season as
Lebanon businessmen Jack Jones and Tony Jackson Jr. have
purchased the speedway from Harold Armstrong. The new
owners will keep the action going on Friday nights, and
will sanction their Modified division with the United
States Racing Association (USRA).

"We will run the same regular classes this season as
Harold had set, which includes Super Stocks, Factory
Stocks, Modifieds, B-Mods, Bombers and 305 Winged Sprints
for the Friday night programs," said Jones. "Harold has
built a great thing on Friday nights here in Lebanon and
we want to keep it going. Several of the Midway staff will
be returning to help us out. We are going to be putting
together our 2008 schedule here before long but we plan on
opening up in early April with the regular racing season."

Jones, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent, and Jackson,
who owns Outlaw Racing Engines, have competed at Midway
Speedway the past three seasons. Jones, a Modified racer,
and Jackson, who runs both Modifieds and Late Models, will
see themselves in different roles on Friday evenings in
Lebanon.

Jones finished up in the top of the Modified standings the
last two seasons and has also won the Best Appearing Car
award. Jackson won the 2005 Super Stock title along with
the 2006 Modified title at the Midway Speedway.

Drivers in the Modified class at Midway Speedway will be
competing for local track points as well as USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series national points. With
nearby Lebanon I-44 Speedway and Monett Speedway racing
USRA Modifieds on Saturdays and Sundays, the three-track
combination could help a Missouri driver become a player
in the National Championship picture. Racing at Lebanon
and Monett, Jackson wound up 13th in national points for
2007.

For more information concerning the Midway Speedway, call
Jackson at (417) 594-0310. More information about the 2008
schedule will be available in the near future.
