CONCORD , NC – Feb. 28, 2007 – When the 360 OTC World of Outlaws Late Model returns to action March 23-25 with its three-night, three-state ‘March Through Dixie,’ eligible regional and local drivers will be looking to pad their earnings each evening with a cool $500 in cash.

The popular World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks Program, which will be in effect at every 360 OTC WoO LMS event in 2007, will provide an extra $500 to the highest-finishing driver in the A-Main who has never won a 360 OTC WoO LMS feature and does not rank among the top 12 in the tour’s current point standings.

“We want to encourage more regional and local drivers to come out and support the series when we visit their areas,” said Tim Christman, the director of the 360 OTC WoO LMS. “Sweetening the pot with the ‘World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks’ gives them another incentive to shoot for as they test their skills against the touring World of Outlaws stars.”

Dozens of regional and local drivers will chase the ‘Bonus Bucks’ in each of the events that comprise the upcoming ‘World of Outlaws March Through Dixie’ weekend, which stops at Baton Rouge Raceway in Baker, La., on Fri., March 23; Columbus (Miss.) Speedway on Sat., March 24; and North Alabama Speedway in Tuscumbia, Ala., on Sun., March 25.

Offered at selected 360 OTC WoO LMS events in 2006, the World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks Program has been expanded this season to include all A-Mains listed on the tour’s ambitious schedule.

The 2007 campaign’s first ‘Bonus Bucks’ winner was Jimmy Mars of Menominee, Wis. , who added $500 to his eighth-place earnings in the 360 OTC WoO LMS season opener on Feb. 18 at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla.

Registered contenders for this year’s 360 OTC WoO LMS Rookie of the Year Award will be eligible for the World of Outlaws Bonus Bucks Program, provided they do not win an A-Main in 2007 or rank among the top 12 in the current tour point standings. That means a 360 OTC WoO LMS rookie contender will have up to $750 in bonus cash available to them at each tour event, combining the $500 in ‘Bonus Bucks’ and the $250 top-finishing rookie prize that is on the line in all series A-Mains.
