Oxford Plains Speedway to host ASA Racing Series in 2004

Pendleton,  Ind.  (November  13,  2003)  -  The  anticipation  of  the  2004  ASA
Racing Series season is due in large part to the number of racetracks that will
host  the  36-year  old  series  for  a  first  time.  Most  of  the  new  facilities  are
superspeedways, although a notable exception is the Oxford Plains Speedway in
Oxford, Maine. ASA will debut at the track on Saturday, August 21 for a 250-lap
showdown.

The  3/8ths  mile  oval,  with  spectator  seating  for  nearly  14,000,  bills  itself  as
Maine's superspeedway and has long been one of the most popular venues of
its kind in the Northeast United States. With short straights and wide, sweeping
turns,  Oxford  Plains  Speedway  allows  for  close  side-by-side  racing  all  the  way
around the racetrack.

"Bringing  ASA's  great  short  track  reputation  and  history  together  with  Oxford
Plains  will  be  in  some  ways  a  motorsports  milestone,"  said  Joe  Balash,  ASA
Operations  Manager.  "This  is  a  new  market  for ASA,  but  one  that  has  proven
support for stock car racing. We look forward to our first appearance in one of
the nation's truly scenic areas."

Oxford  Plains  Speedway's  history  reveals  that  legends  such  as  Richard  Petty
and Bobby Allison have won races there. Along with an amazing background, the
facility remains up to date as the track surface was paved for the fourth time in its
history as recently as October of 2002.

"A  series  like ASA  is  the  sort  of  top  level  racing  sanction  that  we  welcome  to
Oxford  Plains,"  said  Bill  Ryan,  Speedway  General  Manager.  "The  caliber  of
racing teams and drivers will make this race one of the best ever at our track. I'm
sure  the  fans  here  will  support  this  wholeheartedly  and  it  will  be  one  of  the
highlights of the racing season."

The entire 2004 ASA Racing Series schedule continues to be formulated with a
total of 18 events making up the expected final slate.
