SOUTHERN ALL STAR DIRT RACING SERIES PR #14
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Southern All Star Dirt Series Sold

HUNTSVILLE, AL—Charles Roberts would like to announce that he has sold the Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series to Huntsville, AL., native Matt Wagner. We have had many offers over the year to buy the series but Matt is the first one who wanted to bring the series back to it’s home state of Alabama where it all started.

In addition, Matt is a close personal friend to the Parker family and B J’s wife Gail and currently works with her on the Southern Superstars Short Track Series, which is the asphalt series that was operated by B J Parker till he passed away.

We are also pleased that Wagner will keep Lynn Acklin and the rest of the current staff and they will continue to work on adding races to the schedule as well as working on sponsorships and contingencies programs for the remaining 2012 season. Also the new staff will work with track owners and promoters to help the Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series continue it’s long history in the racing industry.

Charles Roberts and David Miller would like to thanks all the fans, drivers, sponsors, track promoters and many friends for their loyal support over the last eight years.
