'Mark Balzano Memorial' at West Virginia Motor Speedway Rescheduled

Pittsburgh, PA (July 22, 2010) - Jason Shank - All Star Championship Racing Inc.
Officials at West Virginia Motor Speedway and with the O'Reilly All Star Late Model Series have set Thursday, September 2 as the make-up date for the $5,000 to-win, 40 lap 'Mark Balzano Memorial'.

Rain moved into the area on the originally scheduled May 16th 'Mark Balzano Memorial' event after the Late Model preliminary races had been completed,
forcing the search for a suitable rescheduling date.

Kenny Compton broke Davey Johnson's previously held track record by scorching the 5/8 mile high banks with a 19.085 time that evening, besting a field that saw Josh Richards, Steve Francis, Steve Shaver and Tyler Reddick win the preliminary events and setting the field for the $5000 to win event.

'We wanted to get everyone who was qualified for the 'Mark Balzano Memorial' back in May back for the rescheduled date,' Series Director Jason Shank stated. 'With having our ASLMS drivers, and drivers from other series locked into the event, it was tough finding a date to where everyone was off to get them back to the 5/8 mile speedplant. BDS promotions did a great job finding us an open spot so that we could finish what we started in May.'
