OLD SCHOOL RACING SERIES STILL GOING ON STRONG

The Old School Racing Series is still going on after some delays from sponsorships deals; the series will indeed make the first start at Music City Motorplex on July 18th 2009. The event called “The Old School – Racing Reunion.com Shootout” will be the inaugural start for the new series.

OSR, in conjunction with RacersReunion.com, will bring the July 18th
event live to the web with the veteran racing analyst Randy Pemberton
in the broadcast booth with many special guest that will bring the
fans racing stories that may never be heard again. Fans not attending
the event will be able to view it live in it’s entirety at
www.RacersReunion.com.

Some of the greatest drivers of all time have been slated to compete
in this long anticipated inaugural event. Harry Gant, Sterling
Marlin, Geoff Bodine, Dave Marcis, Jack Ingram, Larry Pollard,
Charlie Glotzbach, Joe Ruttman, Tommy Houston, Mike Alexander, and
Randy LaJoie will treat racing fans to a night of racing they’ll
never forget.

Drivers will be available for autographs between qualifying and race
time. Qualifying is scheduled to begin at 6:30 pm and the green flag
drops for the Shootout at 8:30 pm. One of the must see events during
the live broadcast will be a round table discussion with four of
these racing legends. It will be hosted by Randy Pemberton and is
sure to bring out some great stories from these “old school” drivers.

“It’s great to finally give the fans something they’ve wanted to
see,” said OSR Managing Partner Gene Weaver. “These guys are my
hero’s and putting these legends back on the track is not just a
thrill for the fans, but also to everyone involved in the Old School
Racing Series. We’re excited about this opportunity to bring this
inaugural event to the fans along with RacersReunion.com and our
sponsors.”

This special event will also serve as the national launch of the
“Suitcase Jake Commemorative Fund” established to raise money for
Jake Elder, one of motor racings true living legends. The “Jake Elder
Crew Chief of the Race Award,” sponsored by Darrell Waltrip, will go
to the winning car’s crew chief. In addition, OSR will offer, for
sale at the track and on their website (www.osrct.com), a “Suit Case
Jake” commemorative coin. All proceeds from the sale of the coin
will go to assist Jake.

“One of our goals at Old School Racing is to establish the Retired
Racers Foundation to help support retired racers that may need some
extra help,” said OSR Managing Partner Gene Weaver. “Pioneers of
racing, like Jake Elder, did not get the huge paychecks that these
guys get today, yet they paved the way and we want to try to pay them
back for everything they have done for this sport. Helping “old
school” racers is a lofty goal, but one that is long overdue.”

“We’re thrilled to be able to participate in this event with OSR,”
said Jeff Gilder, of the RacersReunion Network. “Our goal is to bring
recognition to the roots of stock car racing and to keep these
legends of the sport in front of their fans. This is a perfect fit
for us.”
