Race: Southern Illinois 100 presented by Federated Car Care
ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX

16 of 20
Track: Du Quoin State Fairgrounds
Date: September 6, 2010

Craig
Goess and the No. 81 Greenville Toyota of N.C. Eddie Sharp Racing Toyota return
to dirt track at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds. Goess assumed the ARCA Racing
Series points lead after his pole win and fifth-place finish at Chicagoland
Speedway.

Craig Goess Fast Facts:

Last Race: Chicagoland Speedway: Goess took his second Menards Pole Award
presented by Ansell last weekend at Chicago with a quick lap of 30.380 seconds
(177.749 mph). Starting the race from the front row, the No. 81 quickly found
bad luck when the Toyota began leaking oil. Two early, unscheduled pit stops
forced Goess back to the 24thposition. Adversity, however, was not
going to stop the No. 81 Greenville Toyota of N.C. team as Goess made his way
through the field with determination. He crossed the finish line fifth with the
points lead.

Du Quoin History: Goess only has one career start at Du
Quoin. In the 2009 season, Goess competed in the No. 81 and hit a streak of bad
luck when he could not avoid a wreck in front of him in the first five laps of
the race. Goess finished 34th.

In the Dirt, Again: The ARCA Racing Series heads to the
second and final dirt track on the 2010 schedule. In August, Goess competed in
Springfield, Ill., at the Illiinois State Fairgrounds. He picked up his best
career finish on a dirt track with an 11thplace finish. Monday's
race at Du Quoin will mark Goess' fourth career start on a dirt track.

Leader of the Pack: Goess reclaimed the ARCA Racing Series
point leader after his pole victory, laps led and fifth place finish at
Chicago. He leads Frank Kimmel in second place by five points, Patrick Sheltra
in third place by 10 points and Tom Hessert in fourth place by 25 points.  With 
five races to go, Goess looks to continue his
consistency in his trek to the championship.

Listen live:The
race will be broadcast live on the ARCA Racing Network on ARCARacing.com. Live
scoring and timing will be available during practice, qualifying and the
Southern Illinois 100.

Goess on running at Kentucky Speedway

"We
overcame a lot of adversity at Chicagoland after having to pit early and often
because of leaking oil. Dirt tracks historically have not been my forte, but
our finish at Springfield proved that we are working hard to get to where we
need to be on the dirt. I'm looking forward to the last five races of the
season, and I think that the No. 81 Greenville Toyota of N.C. team is
ready to compete until the end."
