Jones, Hines Lead TSR into USAC Benevolent Fund Charity Go-Karting Event

INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 15, 2007) – Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) is geared up to defend its title as the reigning champion in the 11th Annual “Fun at Fastimes” endurance go-kart race Saturday (Feb. 17). The green flag is scheduled to drop at 1 p.m. EST for the three-hour event at the Fastimes Indoor Karting facility in Indianapolis. All proceeds benefit USAC Benevolent Foundation, which provides assistance to USAC drivers and families in need of emergency financial assistance.

TSR’s effort will be led by co-captains Levi Jones and Tracy Hines, along with eight other members of the TSR USAC team. In 2006, TSR posted the closest finish in event history, defeating second-place Team Querry by a margin of 10 seconds. Last year’s team included TSR’s Jones, crew members Adam Barth, John Sayne and Jack Stephenson, former TSR driver Josh Wise and co-captain Johnny Parsons. Stephenson, Sayne and Barth are again committed to this year’s event, as are crew members Marty Williams, Chris Ferrari and Bobby Barth. Wise will also join TSR’s effort for this Saturday’s event as a special guest.

Registration for the 11th Annual “Fun at Fastimes” endurance go-karting event begins at 11:30 a.m. EST, with mandatory drivers meeting and team pictures at 12:45 p.m. The event will feature 10 teams consisting of two USAC race drivers and eight race crew or race fans.

Members of the winning team will receive medals and a special team award, four practice sessions for the price of two at Fastimes Indoor Karting, and a team photo. All participants will receive the practice session discount and a team photo.

Fastimes Indoor Karting is located at 3455 Harper Road in Indianapolis. The facility is located on the southeast corner of 96th Street and North Keystone Avenue, one block north of the North Keystone exit from I-465, next to Woodland Bowl.
