Fall has arrived and unfortunately that marks the end of the 2004 Interstate Racing Association points Championship chase. Mike currently sits a solid 2nd in the Championship standings. Be sure to stop out and watch this Saturday as Mike drives the Osborn and Son Trucking #80K to success in 2004!

Gates will open at 3pm on Oct 2nd at the Sheboygan County Fair Park where the IRA will finish up the 2004 season. Joining the sprinters (and a high car count is once again expected as we honor our own, Frank Filskov), will be the return of the Late Models. Without a doubt, one of the best Fall Classics ever was when the Late Models joined the program before and SLS has even bettered that for this year with “Fan Appreciation” motif planned. You’ll want to come early and enjoy the activities as many teams will have their cars displayed behind the grandstands before the night’s events. The sprint car simulator will be there for anyone thinking they might have what it takes to get behind the wheel of a sprint car and as a special treat, Flat Out Magazine’s own Rob McCuen will have his band, the “White Hot Tizzies” there for pre race entertainment. For anyone unable to make it for whatever reason that might be, we’ll also be broadcasting it live over the Internet on the Sprint Car Network simply go to www.scnradio.com.

Also be sure to pick up a copy of Flat Out Magazine in the IRA Souvenir Trailer this Saturday or visit www.mompub.com. You can find an exclusive article "25 under 25" where Mike is acknowledged as one of America's top 25 sprint drivers under 25 years of age!

SEE YOU AT THE RACES!
