Following a highly successful first season of operation, the Premier Racing
Association has announced a 9-race schedule for 2007.
The Big Car Series will make return visits to South Georgia Motorsports Park in
Adel , Georgia , O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis and USA International
Speedway in Lakeland , Florida .
New venues for 2007 include Berlin Raceway in Marne , Michigan and Oswego
Speedway in New York . Two other dates are nearly finalized and will be
announced soon.
"We're thrilled to be able to add two legendary tracks like Berlin Raceway
and Oswego Speedway to our schedule for this year", stated PRA co-founder
Jason McCord. "Both have great histories of racing, but Big Cars have
never competed at either venue. Our
level of competition will bring a new dimension of racing to these
facilities."
The PRA's first visit to South Georgia Motorsports Park in 2006 saw Ryan Newman
in victory lane before a near capacity weeknight crowd. The 2007 visits to
SGMP will both be on Saturday nights, as will a return visit to USA
International's three-quarter mile oval in Lakeland , Florida .
One of the two visits to O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis will be contested
on Friday night, the other ORP date and the event at Berlin Raceway will be on
Wednesday nights.
Veteran driver Chet Fillip won the inaugural PRA Big Car Championship, despite
not winning a race. Race winners were Bobby Santos III (twice), Ryan
Newman, Carl Edwards, and Eric Gordon. In all 43 drivers competed in the
series in its inaugural year.
