First Ever COMP Cams® Grass Roots Nationals Presented By MidSouthRacing.com Set For October 13th

Legendary Riverside International Speedway hosting special event for Wingless 305 Sprint Car and Street Stock classes

COMP Cams®, the absolute leader in valve train technology, and MidSouthRacing.com have teamed up to present the Inaugural Grass Roots Nationals at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas on October 13, 2007.

Dedicated to those weekend warriors that epitomize what dirt track racing is all about, the Grass Roots Nationals will give the often under-recognized 305 Wingless Sprint Cars and Street Stocks an opportunity to be the stars. The 305 Wingless Sprint Car class will be sponsored by Racing Head Service™ (RHS™), while TCI® will sponsor the Street Stock event. The feature race in both classes will pay $1,000 to win with all position payouts throughout the field doubled from their normal amounts. The winners of the two respective features will each receive custom inaugural Grass Roots Nationals Champion jackets, and the top three finishers in each feature will earn product gift certificates from the class sponsor (TCI® & RHS™). In addition to the increased payout, there will be a variety of bonus programs such as a Dash For Cash and Hard Charger awards – all of which will add to “big event” atmosphere that these racers rarely get to experience. Video highlights of the event will be available at www.powerperformancetv.com (the official online video channel of the COMP Performance Group™) the Monday following the event.


“These guys are just as important to us as the NASCAR guys, and we look forward to growing this event over the next several years to give these racers the recognition and prestige that they deserve,” comments COMP Cams® Marketing Director, Chris Douglas. “Riverside International Speedway has a long and storied history that is very much intertwined with the history of COMP Cams® and we couldn’t be more excited to be joining forces for this unique event. This is our chance to show our support to the weekend warriors of the sport and give these guys an opportunity to be the stars.”

MidSouthRacing.com owner, Ben Shelton, adds “When I first heard about this event, I wanted to be involved because the reality is that week in and week out, these guys put on as good, if not a better show than anybody but get very little recognition and coverage. I look forward to helping bring some recognition to these drivers and teams through my role as event announcer and with coverage on www.midsouthracing.com.”
