Summit Racing Equipment Named Title Sponsor of NHRA POWERade Event
Advance Tickets Go On Sale to General Public Monday, December 4
Norwalk, Ohio, November 9 -- Summit Racing Equipment, the world's largest
direct mail and Internet supplier of high performance auto parts, has signed
a multi-year agreement with NHRA to become title sponsor of the NHRA
POWERade Drag Racing Series event at NHRA's newest venue, Norwalk Raceway
Park. The facility is being renamed Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park
as part of a multi-year agreement announced last week at the annual SEMA
Show in Las Vegas.
The inaugural Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals will be held June 28
through July 1 as the 12th event on NHRA's 23-race POWERade Series 2007
schedule, and the first-ever POWERade Series event at Summit Racing
Equipment Motorsports Park. The facility is located just over an hour from
Summit Racing Equipment's headquarters in Tallmadge, Ohio.
Track president Bill Bader, Jr., said advance ticket sales already set a
one-week sales record for any race in the facility's 44-year history.
Advance ticket sales to ticket holders from the 2006 IHRA World Nationals in
Norwalk and the discontinued 2006 Pontiac Performance NHRA Nationals in
Columbus began last week. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning
Monday, December 4.
"After setting a record for advance ticket sales last week, we think these
will be some of the hottest selling tickets on the POWERade Series circuit,"
said Bader.
The inaugural Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals will be televised on
ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD as teams compete for points in the NHRA's new Countdown
to the Championship format.
