KNOXVILLE, IOWA (October 11, 2010) – Race fans who dream of strapping into a high-powered, open-wheel sprint car and sliding sideways through the corners can have their dreams come true this December. For the eighth time, the non-profit National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum Foundation will award one lucky fan with the gift of a lifetime… a brand-new, state-of-the-art sprint car. However, there is only a limited amount of time for fans to get their tickets for a chance to win the 410-cubic-inch Kistler-powered, J&J Auto Racing chassis sprint car, as the winning ticket will be drawn on December 17.
On its final 2009-2010 tour leg, the Kistler-powered J&J sprint car will make its way to the Short Track Nationals in Little Rock, Arkansas, on October 28-29-30. The Short Track Nationals is the highest paying American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) winged 360-cubic-inch sprint car race in the country. The following weekend, the museum’s eighth raffle car will be in Charlotte North Carolina, for the World of Outlaws (WoO) World Finals. The car will be in Charlotte from November 4 through November 6. The World Finals is the 2010 finale for World Racing Group, WoO Sprint Car, WoO Late Model and the Super DIRT Car Series, respectively. November 18-19-20 will find museum marketing manager Chuck Stowe making his final appearance of the year with the state-of-the-art car in the west. It will take place in Tucson, Arizona, at the 43rd Annual ASCS Western World Championships.
The raffle car will make its final two trade show appearances of the year at the International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS) in Indianapolis, December 1-2-3, and the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show in Orlando on December 9-10-11. The actual raffle drawing will take place at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum located in Knoxville, IA, on the morning of December 17.
