State of California Recognizes 

Infineon Raceway for Recycling Efforts 

 

SONOMA, Calif. (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) - Infineon Raceway has become one of
the first motor sports facilities in the country to be recognized by a
state governmental agency for its recycling efforts.

 

The State of California Department of Conservation, Division of
Recycling, recognized Infineon Raceway's recycling efforts for its 2004
NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series events.

 

During the NASCAR and NHRA events in 2004, Infineon Raceway collected
12,260 pounds of plastic bottles, 2,900 pounds of aluminum cans and
1,800 pounds of glass. 

 

George Mutter, vice president of operations for Environmental Event
Management Group, which oversaw the recycling efforts at Infineon
Raceway, said this was the first motor sports facility in California to
receive such an honor by the state.

 

"This was an outstanding effort by Infineon Raceway, especially for the
first time," Mutter said. "This was the right thing to do for the
environment and I hope to see more tracks take the initiative to
implement such programs in the future."

 

Infineon Raceway received the recognition from the state by James D.
Ferguson, assistant director, Division of Recycling.
