O’Reilly USCS OUTLAW SPRINT CARS headline “THUNDER IN CAROLINA” double-header action at Harris Speedway on Friday April 4th and Saturday April 5th

Atlanta, GA – The O’Reilly Auto Parts oreillyauto.com United Sprint Car Series uscsracing.com kicks off the Southern Thunder Tour portion of its 2008 and 12th anniversary schedule on Friday and Saturday April 4th and 5th with the two-night
O’Reilly USCS “Thunder in the Carolinas” event at historic Harris Speedway in Harris, North Carolina. Harris Speedway is located in Rutherford County near the Rutherfordton, Forest City and Spindale area in western North Carolina. The two-day “Thunder in Carolina “ event is loaded with action-packed racing featuring two full winged sprint car racing programs plus racing Harris Speedway’s weekly divisions.

Friday night’s portion of the event will serve as the kickoff event for the 25-race O’Reilly USCS Southern Thunder Tour regional series. Both nights will award O’Reilly USCS Southern Thunder Championship points. The Saturday night race will additionally award O’Reilly USCS “Outlaw Thunder” Tour and O’Reilly Cup National Championship points.

The O’Reilly USCS Southern Thunder Tour regional series includes races scheduled in North and South Carolina plus Georgia and East Tennessee. A number of these events will award O’Reilly Cup National Championship points. This event will bring a number of drivers seeking the O’Reilly Auto Parts sponsored United Sprint Car Series "Outlaw Thunder" National Championship roaring into the fast 3/8-mile clay oval. This event is O’Reilly Cup National points event events number one. The O’Reilly USCS Southern Thunder drivers will also race on paved ovals several times during the 2008 season. The O’Reilly USCS is the only winged outlaw sprint series in the World that races on both dirt and paved surfaces.

The event is expected to bring top winged outlaw sprint car drivers from at least eight states to the track from as far away as Memphis, Tennessee and upstate New York. The exotic fire breathing, alcohol burning, 700 horsepower open-wheel O’Reilly USCS sprint cars weight just 1,300 pounds, and are pound for pound the World’s most powerful short track race cars. The cars will literally fly around the track surface at speeds over 120 M.P.H. It is not uncommon to see O’Reilly USCS sprint cars popping "wheelies" or doing wheel stands because of the brute force of their engines and their huge 18-inch wide rear tires.

Friday night's Outlaw sprint car action will feature a full program of racing in the outlaw sprint cars that includes test and tune hot laps followed by time trial qualifying when the all-time Harris Speedway track record is guaranteed to fall. The evening's first sprint car race will be the Lucas Oil Power Dash that will showcase the top six cars from the qualifying rounds in an edge-of-your-seat six-car shootout. Next up will be qualifying heat races and the evening’s finale will be a 20-lap “Thunder in Carolina” preliminary main event. On Saturday night, the racing action kicks off with another Lucas Oil Power Dash, then moves into another full program of sprint car racing that features a series of qualifying races, before the 30-lap “Thunder in Carolina” Championship Race. The Speedway’s weekly racing divisions are on the program both nights as well.
