NCRA Sprinters to Race for Steve King Foundation

PARK CITY, Kan. (April 29, 2007) – After opening its season April 14, the O’Reilly NCRA Sprint Car Series, presented by ICM/Ethanol, returns to the track Saturday with a special show at Dodge City (Kan.) Raceway Park.

The show is the first-ever Steve King Memorial Race to benefit the Steve King Foundation (http://www.stevekingfoundation.org/). King, a two-time NCRA Sprint Car Series champion, died in August 2006 following a racing accident at the Knoxville Nationals.

The Foundation provides financial assistance to those individuals (or their immediate families) injured or killed while participating in dirt track racing. When additional funds are available, the Foundation will contribute to organizations dedicated to improving the safety of the sport.
Two-time defending series champion Garry Lee Maier was ninth in this year’s opener and is currently sixth in points. He won at Dodge City in the series’ only visit there last year.

Both the NCRA and the ASCS Rocky Mountain Region are co-sanctioning this event. For more information, visit http://www.dodgecityraceway.com/.
