Tour. At eight of the ten SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour Series events of

2010 SRL Legends Tour will include; All-American Speedway, Orange Show

points at the eight scheduled SRL events. Each race will be officiated
by the host track or local series, such as the Legends of the Pacific.

and the top 5 drivers in SRL championship points will be honored at the
annual SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour Series Championship Awards Banquet on

"So many of our teams have members of their families who race Legends
cars and this seems like a good fit for those families to better enjoy
the 2010 race season," stated the SRL's Larry Collins. "It will also
give Legends drivers the opportunity to chase a touring series
championship and we hope to see an increase in Legend car count at our
host racetracks."

Austin Reed (son of long time Southwest Tour car owner and sponsor Dave
Reed), Cale Kanke (son of 2009 SRL champion, Mike Kanke) and Devan

to have the opportunity to be racing in the SRL Legends Tour this year.
It's an honor and a thrill to be racing on the same tracks as my
