Salem, IN (December 13, 2007) – Champion Racing Association and the management of Angola Motor Speedway are pleased to announce that three divisions of CRA will compete at the Northern Indiana track owned by businessman Dick Poe in 2008. The CRA Super Series and the Howe CRA Sportsman Series will compete together on Thursday night, July 3^rd to kick off the big July 4^th Holiday Weekend. It will be the 13^th event for the CRA Super Series at Angola Motor Speedway, Angola native Scott Hantz is the all time series win leader at Angola with 3 victories driving for Dick Poe Motorsports at what many consider his home track. Veteran late model racer Bobby Blount is second with two victories while seven series veterans are tied with one victory a piece including Junior Hanley, Kenny Tweedy, JR Roahrig, Eddie Van Meter, Brian Rievley, Jeff Lane and Tim Felver.

The July 3^rd event will be the first ever Howe CRA Sportsman event at Angola Motor Speedway. The track is no stranger to several series competitors including 2007 series runner-up in points Rick Rinehart who won a Sportsman Championship at Angola in 2006, he got his first Howe CRA Sportsman series win the following day at the 2006 Labor Day Weekend event at Winchester Speedway.

The CRA Street Stocks will make their first ever visit to Angola Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 26^th in a 75 lap event were they will team with the Modifieds to headline the race action that evening.

1998 CRA Super Series Champion Brian Rievley saved the best for the end, running second for much of the race, battling brake problems, before passing Jack Landis in turn four on the 117th lap to win the Hargus Mullins Memorial 125 presented by EMF Corp. and Centennial Wireless CRA Super Series event on June 30^th, 2007. Rievley won in the same car and for the same team Eddie Van Meter had gotten his first Angola and CRA Super Series victory at the same event in 2006. Landis finished right on Rievley’s tail in second. Jeff Lane was third, early race leader John Van Doorn was fourth, Jason Dietsch fifth and Scott Hantz drove through the field after an early spin to finish sixth. Less than one second separated Landis and Hantz as the pack of cars raced for the checkered flag.

Wes and Crimson Parrish will return to manage Angola Motor Speedway again in 2008 for owners Dick and Jackie Poe. The track went through extensive renovations during the 2004 season and is now one of the premier short-tracks in the region.
