"THUNDER IN THE VALLEY IV" FALLS VICTIM TO MOTHER NATURE
RESCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH

JULY 9, 2002
WEST LEBANON, NY - The much anticipated "Thunder in the Valley IV" fell 
victim to mother nature for the second time Tuesday evening at Lebanon Valley 
Speedway and has been rescheduled for Friday September 6th as part of the 
CARQUEST Kings 200 Weekend. 
The rain began just as the front gates were scheduled to be opened. NASCAR 
Winston Cup driver's Tony Stewart and Dave Blaney were on hand for the 
original June 27th date and were scheduled to return for tonight's races. 
Landing in Pittsfield, MA Stewart was met by Bryan Goewey of Team Goewey 
Dodge and was very disappointed with the weather. "Tony was excited to come 
back and race for the fans. We waited for two hours before receiving the call 
from Howard. Tony really loves racing at Lebanon Valley and is looking 
forward to coming back for the CARQUEST 200 Weekend." Stewart commented "This 
place will be a three day party! I can't wait to come back!"
CARQUEST Auto Parts, De Crescente Distributors, Sprint PCS, G.E. Extreme 
Silicone Technology, Saratoga Water, Molson Beer, I Love NY, Columbia County 
Office of Tourism and Hess Express will all return as sponsors of "Thunder in 
the Valley IV". CARQUEST will sponsor the remainder of the Kings 200 Weekend 
festivities, which are highlighted, with the running of the CARQUEST National 
200 on Sunday September 8th.
The annual CARQUEST Race of Kings for 358 Modifieds has proven to be one of 
the most competitive races held each year. The rescheduling of "Thunder in 
the Valley IV" will put an interesting twist in the point race by having 
back-to-back 358 Modified Super Dirt Series events on the demanding ½ mile 
high banked West Lebanon oval. You can be sure this three-day weekend will be 
one you won't want to miss!
Be sure to catch Tony Stewart and Dave Blaney attack the Super Dirt Speedway 
with their return for the CARQUEST Kings 200 Weekend September 6th, 7th & 
8th. Make plans early to come and stay for the whole weekend. The party 
begins on Friday September 6th! Be There!
A complete schedule of events for the entire weekend will be released in the 
next few weeks. Don't forget that Mr. Dirt Track USA is just around the 
corner. Presented by BUDWEISER the 100 lap Advance Auto Parts Modified Super 
Dirt Series event will pay the winner a cool $17,500. All the big dogs will 
be after that huge "Scooby Snack".
