Louisville, KY (September 11, 2006) – TC Motorsports owners Tammy and C.E. Clower have announced that Louisville, Kentucky native Chuck Barnes Jr. will compete in their ARCA RE/MAX Series racecar again in the Eddie Gilstrap Motors ARCA Fall Classic 200 at Salem Speedway on Saturday, September 16^th. The Clower’s made the decision to put Barnes Jr. in their car for a second race after Barnes Jr. scored a stunning victory in his ARCA RE/MAX Series debut Friday September 1^st at Toledo Speedway, beating 7 time ARCA RE/MAX Series Champion Frank Kimmel, even after a late caution put Kimmel on Barnes’s bumper with fresher tires for a green, white checker restart. Barnes Jr. got a great restart and pulled away from Kimmel to get the victory.

"It was a dream come true," remarked Barnes Jr. "I had always hoped to get a chance to race in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, I new I could compete at that level, but to win the first time out was truly amazing. I have to thank Tammy and C.E. Clower for giving me this great opportunity, I’m really looking forward to racing with the ARCA RE/MAX Series at my home track. It’s also Frank’s home track, he’s won a bunch of races there, hopefully it can come down to the two of us again in front of a packed house of local race fans!"

The 2004 CRA Super Series Champion has raced at Salem Speedway in Street Stocks, Super Stocks and is currently leading the Salem Speedway KY Clutch & Performance Late Models points were he has gotten 2 wins, 3 second place finishes and has been fast qualifier 5 of the 7 events so far this season. Barnes Jr. has a 13-point lead over two time and defending KY Clutch & Performance Late Model Champion Keith Gardner with one event left in their 2006 season.

"We have the point lead with one race to go in the late models at Salem Speedway. We just have to keep qualifying good and run up front. Anything can happen at Salem Speedway, you always have to keep on your toes during a 50 lap race or a 200 lap race. It got pretty crazy at times at Toledo Friday night, but I just tried to keep out of trouble and was patient, you have to be the same way at Salem Speedway if you want to win."

Barnes Jr. will have sponsor support for this Saturday’s ARCA RE/MAX Series race from Crown Spray Power Multi-Purpose Cleaner, Eikler Flames, Mid-Southern Savings Bank, and Speed Media.
