Winchester, IN (May 29, 2009) – The USARacing Pro Cup Series, formally know as the Hooters Pro Cup Series, will make a return visit to the famous High Banks of Winchester Speedway after several years of not racing on Saturday, June 6^th for the Lucas Oil 200. The original event schedule has been changed for that event, there will be no Pit Crew Competition and no Vore’s Welding & Steel CRA FWD Compact event on Friday, June 5^th. The only on track action that day will be an open practice for the USARacing Pro Cup Series.

The USARacing Pro Cup Series had an exciting finish at their event last Saturday night at Langley Speedway, Clay Rogers shot through a narrow opening in a four-wide sprint to the finish to narrowly defeat rookie Lucas Ransone for his first USARacing Pro Cup victory this season. The stage was set for the Hollywood script ending with two laps remaining in the 250-lap race on the 0.4-mile track. That's when Woody Howard's Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Bobby Gill's Ford Fusion and Ransone's Monte Carlo closed on the bumper of Rogers' Chevrolet Impala, which was leading. Headed into the third turn on the final lap they began jockeying for position and as they exited the fourth turn they were four wide with the checkered flag in sight. At the finish, Rogers edged ahead of Ransone by 0.058 of a second. The veteran Gill would finish third and Howard fourth.

Drew Herring comes in as the series points leader, he picked up his first ever series win on April 25^th at South Georgia Motorsports Park. Other top drivers expected to compete include Gill and Rogers along with Brett Butler and Jeff Agnew. Muncie, Indiana’s Jim Crabtree Jr. will compete in the event for veteran car owner Darrin Odle. Crabtree finished third in the Manning Service 100 with the CRA Super Series at Winchester Speedway on May 17^th, he was also a former competitor with the Hooters Pro Cup Series.
