SCHRADER'S ANNUAL 'NIGHT OF STARS' SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 2, TICKETS ON SALE NOW

CONCORD, N.C. (June 30, 2006) -- Ken Schrader is calling on his friends again
to participate in his annual All-Star charity event at I-55 Raceway in
Pevely, Mo.

Drivers from NASCAR's big three Series are answering his call and jumping on
board for the charity event. NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers Dale Earnhardt
Jr. and Matt Kenseth along with former driver Rusty Wallace, NASCAR Busch
Series drivers Kenny Wallace and Stephen Wallace and NASCAR Craftsman Truck
Series drivers Rick Crawford, Brendan Gaughan and David Reutimann have
already confirmed that they will join Schrader at his 3/8-mile Missouri dirt
track for the annual 'M&M's Night of Stars' charity event.

This year's autograph session and celebrity Dirt Modified race is scheduled
for Wednesday, August 2 at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, Mo. The All-Star event
will benefit a variety of racing charities selected by the drivers, including
the Victory Junction Gang Camp.

"The 'M&M's Night of Stars' has really become an event that the fans and the
drivers both really enjoy and look forward to every year," Schrader
said. "I
always promise the drivers who come to Pevely that we will have a great time
-- and this year won't be any different.

"We have some great drivers already lined up to be part of this year's race.
Some of the guys have been to the track before like Dale Jr. and Herman, but
this will be the first trip to Pevely for a lot of them which makes the night
even more fun. Most importantly, these are guys who have a great time with
the fans, too. So it's going to be a big night for everyone."

Drivers are scheduled to participate in an autograph session at the track
from 5-7 p.m. CT. The green flag falls on racing at I-55 Raceway at 7:30 p.m.
The celebrity Dirt Modified Shootout will precede the night's feature event
-- winged Sprint cars and UMP Late Models.

Reserved tickets for the 'Night of Stars' event are on sale now. Reserved
tickets are $30. Fans can purchase tickets by calling the track at
636-479-3219. General admission tickets, which will be available the day of
the event, are $25.
