SUMMIT RACING SERIES COMPETITORS TACKLE THE QUARTER-MILE AT O'REILLY RACEWAY
PARK

            INDIANAPOLIS (Sept. 19, 2009) - More than 600 of the top bracket
racers from across NHRA's North Central division have come to O'Reilly
Raceway Park to race for individual and team honors at the division's Summit
Racing Series Division Finals.  Competitors are running in four categories,
Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman and Motorcycle, vying for a share of the cash and
contingency purse.  The division's High School category will also run in
conjunction with the race.

            The racers in the four top categories who are named the winners
here have the opportunity to run for a national championship against the
winners in NHRA's other six divisions.  The runoff takes place during the
NHRA Finals in Pomona, Calif., in November where each class will run for a
winner-take-all $5,000 payday.

            After a time trial run this morning, racers started
eliminations. After the first round, the squad from O'Reilly Raceway Park
was leading the team standings with 22 points.  The contingents from Gateway
Int'l Raceway and Summit Motorsports Park are just off the pace with 21
points apiece.
