“Host Mike Harper with Lori Munro, Chris Knight And Dennis Michelsen To Welcome Back Dexter Bean!”

CHICAGO, Illinois (March 18, 2008) - - After two weeks of invasion by two of the stoutest ARCA RE/MAX Series teams on the schedule, ARCA Thunder presented by Rockingham Speedway will return to somewhat normal tonight. In the guest lineup tonight is the return of Dexter Bean, the driver of the No. 37 GLOCK, Inc. Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS for Spraker Racing Enterprises.

Before the turning the focus over to Bean, the first segment of the night will be relaxed with some fun in-between for the listeners before jumping to a quick break for segment two.

With no SPEEDtv.com Hot Seat this week, the ARCA Thunder crew presented by Rockingham Speedway will instead have some open discussions. First on deck is the ARCA Whackers from the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Bristol , while also looking at a handful of drivers who participated in the season opener at USA International Speedway for the USAR Hooter’s Pro Cup Series.

The next topic of discussion is comparing the 2008 ARCA RE/MAX Series schedule with the ASA Late Model Series. Should ARCA consider or look at adding events to facilities such as Bristol Motor Speedway and O’Reilly Raceway Park?

Following the discussion brings the Around The Track installment presented by Team GLOCK with none other than the driver of the GLOCK entry, Dexter Bean. The Westby, Wisconsin native joins the show for the second time this season but the first for a segment backed by his full-time sponsor in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. The ARCA Thunder crew presented by Rockingham Speedway will discuss with Bean what’s been happening at Spraker Racing Enterprises since Daytona. Also his thoughts at looking at the two-day test at Rockingham Speedway this weekend.

The final installment of the night will be jammed pack. ARCA insider Chris Knight will lead off the segment with his news and rumors presented by Race City Steel. Following the news segment, the ARCA Thunder team presented by Rockingham Speedway will discuss the highly anticipated two-day test at Rockingham Speedway set for Friday and Saturday. Who’s coming? Who’s Skipping? What can we expect from the test?

Also on the table is looking ahead to the next venue on the ARCA RE/MAX Series circuit at Salem Speedway. Realistically, who has a shot at walking away with the point’s lead?

"Everyone at ARCA Thunder presented by Rockingham is excited about tonight’s show,” said ARCA Thunder co-host Chris Knight. “Any time we can welcome Dexter Bean back to the show is a real pleasure. We also have a wide variety of topics on the agenda which should award the listeners with one of the best shows of the season to date. I’m looking forward to tonight, as always.”

Next week, ARCA Thunder presented by Rockingham Speedway will welcome ARCA newcomer Matt Carter to the program. Bryan Silas, driver of the No. 11 Nortrax-ICI Homes Ford Fusion for Fast Track Racing returns for a second time this season in the Around The Track installment presented by Team GLOCK to give his thoughts on the outcome of the ARCA RE/MAX Series test at Rockingham Speedway.
