For Immediate Release
January 8, 2008 From Erica Bicknell ... Lucas Oil Shoot Out Public Relations
905-685-7223
ST. CATHARINES, Ontario (January 8) The
Christmas lights have been shut off, and for many - new year’s resolutions
have already been forgotten. With the recent unseasonably warm spell race teams
and race fans are thinking one thing – the local racing season can’t get here
soon enough!
The 2008 edition of the Lucas Oil Shootout by
dirttrackdigest.com gets one step closer to going green as a Press Conference
is set to launch the 3rd Season – Saturday January 26th at 1:00 PM at it’s
traditional location – the Best Western Cairncroft Hotel on Lundy’s Lane in
Niagara Falls Ontario.
“It just continues to get better every time
out,” relates Ransomville Speedway’s Joel Friesen. “Once again it will pay to
follow the series in a number of unique ways … and it will also pay for drivers
to attend the mid winter meeting.”
Each Sportsman and 358 Modified Driver that
personally attends the afternoon meeting will be eligible to win Two Pit Passes
to each of the Lucas Oil Shootout Events for his or her division.
The 2008 Lucas Oil Shootouts will feature 5
Sportsman Events - one each at the following facilities – Friday Night’s
Ransomville and Ohsweken Speedways, Saturday Night host tracks Merrittville and
Genesee Speedways and the lone Sunday Night track – Humberstone Speedway.
The 358 Modified version will visit the same
facilities with the exception of Genesee Speedway.
“There’s really nothing else like it,” boasts
Merrittville Speedway GM and Series Coordinator Erica Bicknell. “While each
driver races at their home track trying to earn the most point the Lucas Oil
Shootout has our racers competing for the lowest total.”
“How can we improve over last season,” asks
Humberstone Speedway General Manager Bob Davidson. “Every driver wants to win,
and with the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup for the Sportsmen last season each track
also jumped into the race as well.”
The Lucas Oil Shootout Press Conference will
provide interested race teams with Series schedules as well as information on
purses, point funds and perfect attendance awards programs.
“The support of the racing community just
amazes us,” adds sophomore Genesee Speedway Promoter Mike Lauterborn. “The
fields of drivers that support each event continues to grow with the series.”
“On behalf of the race teams and our sister
tracks we owe a lot to Steve Snowden,” prides Ohsweken Speedway’s Glenn Styres.
“Lucas Oil is an incredible sponsor and they like to have fun with their
marketing programs.”
Series events for each Division, Point Fund and
5 for 5 Bonus Monies in the 2007 Lucas Oil Shoot Out by DirtTrackDigest.com
awarded Southern Ontario and Western New York Race Teams more than $70,000 last
season.
