Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 7, 2005, T.J. (“Skip”) Falgout, III, Chairman and CEO of America’s Car-Mart, Inc. (the “Company”), adopted a personal trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Mr. Falgout has advised the Company that the purpose of his 10b5-1 plan is to achieve diversification and liquidity in his financial portfolio.

Written predetermined trading plans adopted in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act permit officers and directors of public companies to buy or sell specified amounts of their company’s stock at future dates regardless of any material nonpublic information they may receive after adopting the plan. An officer or director may only enter into a Rule 10b5-1 plan while he or she is not in possession of any material, nonpublic information and may use the plan to gradually diversify his or her investment portfolio over a period of time.

Mr. Falgout’s Rule 10b5-1 plan authorizes his stockbroker to sell up to 2,500 shares of the Company’s common stock per month, subject to market conditions. The plan became effective on July 7, 2005 and expires on June 30, 2006.
