by: Jeff Nun

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Feb. 10, 2007) - Officials from the United States Racing Association (USRA) have released a tentative schedule of events for the inaugural season for the USRA Late Models.

The 2007 season will mark the first time that the high-powered division will compete under the USRA banner, and all events will carry a top prize of $2,000 to win.

The first of 17 scheduled events will take place on Friday, April 20, at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield (Iowa) Speedway. On Saturday, April 28, the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo., will host the USRA Late Models, which will return to Memphis three more times during the 2007 season on June 2, July 28 and Aug. 25.

The month of May will see three shows, beginning May 4 at the Cresco (Iowa) Speedway. The Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, will host the USRA Late Models on May 16, with a return visit to the Mountain Dew Bloomfield (Iowa) Speedway slated for May 25.

June will have four races on tap at four unique facilities, including three events which will accompany the O'Reilly USMTS Modifieds each night. Four more events are scheduled in July and four races will round out the month of August. The 2007 season finale for the USRA Late Models is set for Saturday, Aug. 25, at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway.

More events may be added to the schedule, and officials are currently working with several companies regarding contingency awards, event sponsorship and title sponsorship of the series. A lucrative year-end points fund will also be announced in the near future.
