 Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (March 17, 2009) – This weekend's season opening event for the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters at Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, TX, will be the first two in a run of ten shows to be broadcast on the VERSUS Network, and the air dates for each of the one-hour long broadcasts have been determined.

Fans devising the most creative and entertaining sign, within the realms of proper language and content, while also incorporating the Lucas Oil, K&N and ASCS logos will be deemed the winner. Prizes will be awarded at intermission with the winners and their signs displayed on the national telecast.
