XM Satellite Radio's Nightshift Travels to Downtown San Francisco
IRVINE, Calif.--Sept. 8, 2006--| Chamillionaire headlines entertainment; media, public can get behind wheel in special Chevy Cobalt Coupe SS Supercharged test drive |
Action Media, creators of XM Satellite Radio's Hot Import Nights (HIN), will bring Nightshift to San Francisco on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 4-11 p.m. at AT&T Park. Nightshift will feature a performance from Chamillionaire, in addition to drifting demos and special test drives of the General Motors Supercharged Cobalt. Media are invited to arrive at 3 p.m. to experience the Chevy Cobalt Coupe SS Supercharged, equipped with GM Performance Parts' Stage II supercharger kit on the Chevy auto cross course.
Chamillionaire's summer single with Krayzie Bone, "Ridin'" was the number one song on Billboard's Hot 100, and his debut album The Sound of Revenge, went Platinum. His 2006 success earned him nominations with the 2006 BET Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards.
In addition to the special test drive of the Chevy Cobalt and prizes in an array of car categories, Kane One will lead stunt bike exhibitions throughout the day and night. Returning sponsor Valvoline will present Super Street Cars on Tour with the one-of-a-kind Charge Speed STI straight from Japan, the full carbon fiber chassis CWest S2000 and the chameleon color-changing HKS-powered IS300. In addition, motocross champion Travis Pastrana will feature his Subaru rally car. Those who are interested in taking the custom car world digital can visit the HIN Gaming Zone to be the first to play Import Tuner Challenge(TM), the most customizable street-racing video game from Ubisoft, before it hits store shelves.
On the Mazda stage, HIN's Glo-Go dancers will show off their go-go skills against San Francisco's best dancers in the new Rockstar Energy Drink National Glo-Go Dancer Competition, a city-to-city dance rivalry. And, the competitions continue with the search for the next Miss HIN 2007 in the Queen of the Scene competition and the selection of Miss HIN San Francisco, hosted by HIN International Spokesmodel Ursula Mayes. Ursula, Miss HIN 2005, can be seen elsewhere this year as one of Maxim's "Sexiest 100." On the XM Satellite Radio Stage, local club DJs and b-boy groups will compete for top accolades.
A special moment in the Nightshift evening will allow show attendees to recognize guests from the U.S. Military--Soldiers who recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan. HIN and its sponsors will welcome Soldiers participating in Operation Tribute to Freedom, a U.S. Military outreach program designed to honor those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The program is an opportunity for Americans to better understand and connect with their Soldiers, one story at a time. Soldiers will be recognized and honored on stage for their service.
