Media Release-"Kid Rocket" Enters ARCA Southern Illinois 100 at DuQuoin

From:  Track Enterprises

The 21 year old known as "Kid Rocket", Josh Richards of Shinnston, West
Virginia, has found the lure of a victory at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds
too much to resist and the World of Outlaws Late Model star has entered the
57th Federated-Southern Illinois 100 ARCA stock car event in search of his
second start and first win.

Richards first came to DuQuoin as a 19 year old in 2007 driving for friend
and mentor Tony Stewart and finished third as Stewart spotted for the ARCA
rookie.  Last year Richards missed the ARCA dirt event on the "Magic Mile"
but won six World of Outlaw Late Model events and finished second in the
2008 World of Outlaw late model chase.

Richards is entered for the 2009 Southern Illinois 100 as a teammate to
Canada's Steve Arpin on the Venturini Motorsports team giving car owner
Billy Venturini, formerly of Chicago, a potent combination on Labor Day.
Practice for the ARCA series begins at 9 a.m. Labor Day with the Southern
Illinois 100 taking the green flag at 1.
