Winchester, IN (August 27, 2007) – The original return of the USPRO Cup Series was tarnished by a visit from Mother Nature on August 18, 2007 at the Owosso (MI) Speedway in what was to be the running of the Sneak Peek 35. At the time of the rain-out, it was thought that the return of the USPRO Cup Series would have to wait until the 2008 season.

That all changed however, when Winchester Speedway promoters R.J. Scott and Glenn Luckett, called on ASALMS Co-Founders/Presidents, Ron and Sandy Varney to run their USPRO Cup Series at Winchester Speedway to replace the previously scheduled SuperPro Series Crate Late Model races. A deal was reached and the USPRO Cup Series will indeed race after all in 2007 and on two separate occasions at one of the most famous high-banked tracks in the United States.

The USPRO Cup Series will make two trips to the famed high-banks of the Winchester (IN) Speedway in Winchester, Indiana with the first show set for Sunday and Monday September 2-3, 2007 as part of the World Stock Car Racing Festival! Then the USPRO Cup Series returns to the famous high-banks on Friday and Saturday October 12-13, 2007 as part of the Winchester 400 weekend!

As part of the World Stock Car Racing Festival on Sunday and Monday September 2-3, 2007 the USPRO Cup Series will run the Winchester/Sneak Peek 50 Part One with Practice and Qualifying on Sunday and the 50-lap Feature set to go on Monday afternoon.

As an added bonus, any ASALMS Northern Division driver who makes the trip from the Hawkeye Downs (IA) Speedway the night before after running in the Hawkeye 100 Presented by Coors Light and Cassill Motors and then wins the Winchester/Sneak Peek 50 Part One, will receive a $250.00 bonus from the Winchester Speedway for making the trip.

The second appearance will be during the prestigious Winchester 400 weekend for the CRA Super Series as the USPRO Cup Series will run the Winchester/Sneak Peek 50 Part Two on Saturday October 13, 2007. The36th Annual Winchester 400 presented by the Ed Martin AutoGroup and Renegade will headline the weekend on Sunday October 14, 2007.

There is no Entry Form for both shows in Winchester, Indiana for the USPRO Cup Series, however there will be a $50.00 entry fee the day of the race.

For both shows in Eastern Indiana, the USPRO Cup Series teams will be racing on the ASALMS Northern/Southern Division tires.
