Concord, N.C. (September 8, 2010) – Top drivers in the USARacing Pro Cup Series are gifted behind the wheel of a race car and now they’ll have a chance to prove how talented they are driving a grocery cart.

Drivers Caleb Holman, Clay Rogers, Chase Elliott, Jeff Agnew, J.P. Morgan and Rick Wilson are scheduled to participate in a Supermarket Sweep through the aisles of the Food Country grocery store in Blountville, Tenn., this coming Friday afternoon. Each driver will be paired with a lucky customer and items collected by the winning team will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank.

CONCORD, N.C. (September 4, 2010)- As the USARacing Pro Cup Series heads to Bristol Motor Speedway for the American Freedom Spectacular, Saturday, September 11, for the second Championship race all bets are off as two drivers are tied for first place.

For the first time since August 2008, the USAR Pro Cup Series drivers took to the .533-mile high-banked oval on August 31 for an open test. Reigning Bristol winner, Caleb Holman and reigning Series Champion, Clay Rogers were both in attendance for last Monday’s test session where both hoped gain ground on their Championship dreams.

Clay Rogers, who is currently tied for first place with Caleb Holman, won all but three of the regular USARacing 2010 Season races. Rogers, of Mooresville N.C., won at Bristol in 2005 but he knows the track has challenges.

“This car on the racetrack with the banking here, we’re not use to having this at most places we go to,” said Rogers.

CONCORD, N.C. (August 29, 2010)—Former 1998 Series Champion, Jeff Agnew, becomes just the third winner of the 2010 USARacing Pro Cup Season in the Cabarrus Boys & Girls Club 250 championship opener at Concord (N.C.) Speedway.

Agnew, driver of the No. 73 Team 7 Motorsports Ford Fusion, scored his first win since the 2007 USAR Season at the half-mile, high-banked tri-oval Saturday night. The Floyd, Va. native, took the lead from reigning Series Champion, Clay Rogers, on Lap 204 and set sail on the field. When the checkered flag fell, Agnew led the field by 3.078 seconds over second-place finisher, Caleb Holman.

“Well I think its well deserved for the team, they’ve worked really hard,” said Agnew. “We’ve had a really good car all year, we just missed it a little bit. I don’t know if I could have done anything with Caleb [Holman] if he had got by Clay [Rogers] up here.”

The driver of the No. 75 Food Country USA Chevrolet, Caleb Holman, started the Cabarrus Boys & Girls Club 250 from the pole for the second time this season. Holman, of Abingdon, Va., dominated the first half of the race, leading 127 of 250 laps.

CONCORD, N.C. (August 23, 2010)—When the USARacing Pro Cup Series heads to Concord Speedway on August 28, all bets for the 2010 Championship are off. Langley Speedway marked the last race before the point standings were reset.

The Cabarrus Boys and Girls Club 250 marks the first of four races making up the 2010 Championship Series. Clay Rogers, who led the regular season standings by 267 points, will head to Concord with 180 points after the reset. Rogers, of Mooresville, N.C. will make his 10th start at the .5-mile track Saturday, just 15 points ahead of second-place Logan Ruffin.

Ruffin, of Memphis, Tenn., sits second going into the first Championship Series race at Concord Speedway. The August 28th race will also mark Ruffin’s first USAR Pro Cup Series start at the high-banked asphalt tri-oval. The Rookie-of-the-Year point leader, Ruffin, was in position for the win at Langley until a late race accident took him out of the race.

HAMPTON, Va. (August 14, 2010)—Caleb Holman wins the Hampton, VA NEED FOR SPEED 250 after what could only be described as a wild night at Langley Speedway.

Holman, an Abingdon, Va. native, survived 10 cautions and two Red Flags at the 0.395-mile track to score his third win of the 2010 Season. He started third, behind May race winner, Clay Rogers and Rookie-of-the-Year contender Logan Ruffin.

“Devine intervention is the only thing I can figure,” said Holman, driver of the No. 75 Food Country USA Chevrolet. “We were just hanging on and they just kept wrecking each other on those starts and things just kept happening.”

CONCORD, N.C. (August 9, 2010)- Clay Rogers looks to sweep Langley Speedway this weekend, August 14, 2010, in the Hampton, Va. NEED FOR SPEED 250. Rogers, of Mooresville, N.C., has six wins this season, the last four consecutive. His latest win came at Iowa Speedway on July 30 under red flag conditions due to heavy fog.

Earlier this season, Rogers driver of the No. 16 USG Sheetrock Ford, took the checkered flag at Langley after leading all but four laps. A.J. Frank, of Bluffton, S.C., was the only driver to pass Rogers for the lead on Lap 145. On Lap 149 Rogers took the lead back and maintained it until he crossed the finish line.

Rogers will battle fellow drivers such as Raybestos Rookie-of-the-Year points leader, Logan Ruffin, who finished second earlier this year at Langley, to sweep the race. Ruffin, of Memphis, Teen., is hungry for a win coming off a third-place finish at Iowa Speedway in July. He sits 254 points behind Rogers but leads in the Rookie-of-the-Year standings by 145 points over Ryan Heavner. Out of the eight races so far this season, Ruffin has only finished outside of the Top 10 in two races, New Smyrna and Rockingham Speedways.

CONCORD, N.C. (August 5, 2010)–One historic event deserves another.

While the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival has been a must see event in Wilkes County, N.C., for years, the county’s racing history – dating back to the moonshine days and the birth of NASCAR – has been on a 14-year hiatus.

Once home to nationally televised stock car racing events at North Wilkesboro Speedway, the track has sat dormant for more than a decade. Thanks to a new ownership group and national attention, the speedway comes into focus again on the weekend of October 3.

The Apple Festival weekend will see the return of the Fall “Triple Header” which includes open wheel modified competition. Speedway officials confirmed the addition of a 100-lap Modified race and a 50-lap Street Stock race in conjunction with the Brushy Mountain 250 USARacing Pro Cup Series Championship race on Sunday, October 3, 2010.

CONCORD, N.C. (Aug. 4, 2010)- It’s back.

Greenville-Pickens Speedway returns to the USARacing Pro Cup Series in a big way in 2010, hosting the fourth race in the Championship Series. The 250-lap event is scheduled for Saturday, October 9 and replaces the date originally scheduled for Gresham (Jefferson, Ga.) Motorsports Park.

Located in Greenville, S.C., the half-mile speedway hosts its first Pro Cup Series event since 2005 and fourth overall. Three different drivers have won each of the three previous races.

Keith Cochran, Media and Public Relations Director for the speedway, said he is happy to host the race. Series tire supplier BFGoodrich is based in Greenville, which Cochran says makes the event a natural fit for all involved.

“It’s jut a win-win for the speedway and the series,” Cochran said. “ This agreement with the USARacing puts the Pro Cup Series back in the Palmetto State and brings this top national touring series home. It demonstrates the importance of the upstate South Carolina marketplace.”

Concord, N.C. (August 3, 2010)- The USARacing Pro Cup Series has teamed with the Cabarrus Boys and Girls Club to host a fan appreciation day and fundraiser at Concord Speedway on August 28, 2010.

The 250-lap Pro Cup Series race, formerly the Hooters Pro Cup, will kick off its five-race Championship Series. The event also includes a 50-lap Allison Legacy Series race and two, 75-lap ICARS Dash Series races.

Best of all, gate admission is FREE. However, a $10 parking fee per vehicle will apply. Fans can obtain FREE passes to the event through various businesses around the greater Concord area and FREE passes can be obtained by logging on to www.usarprocup.com or www.concordmotorsportpark.com .

“We wanted to create a way to help the Cabarrus Boys and Girls Club in their efforts to serve youth in the community," said USARacing Pro Cup Series Managing Partner, Larry Camp.
