AT&T Named Presenting Sponsor of SCCA National Championship Runoffs

 

TOPEKA, Kan. (Feb. 1, 2007) - Heartland Park Topeka owner Raymond Irwin
announced today that AT&T will be the presenting sponsor of the 2007
SCCA National Championship Runoffs(r).  

 

"AT&T has been a long time friend and supporter of HPT activities, both
racing and community events," said Irwin. "HPT is pleased to provide
AT&T with the opportunity to receive nation-wide recognition for their
involvement through the SCCA Runoffs."

 

The National Championship Runoffs is the signature event of the Sports
Car Club of America's Club Racing season.  In 2006, Heartland Park
Topeka became just the fifth track to host the SCCA National
Championship Runoffs in the 43-year history of the event. The change in
venue marks the first time in over 30 years the event has been held west
of the Mississippi River.  Heartland Park Topeka will host this
prestigious event through the 2008 season.  

 

"AT&T and their 4000 Kansas employees are proud to sponsor the 44th SCCA
Runoffs at HPT.  Along with our partners at Heartland Park Topeka, we
look forward to this year's Runoffs and we wish all of the racers great
success," said AT&T Manager of Sales and Operations Bill Phelan.

 

AT&T Inc. is a premier communications holding company in the United
States and worldwide. AT&T is committed to community involvement in
other areas, including sponsoring the U.S. Olympic Team and USA
Gymnastics.  AT&T has pledged to make their employee's communities as
strong and vibrant as possible.

           

"We are very excited to have AT&T become a part of the SCCA National
Championship Runoffs at Heartland Park Topeka in October," said SCCA
President Jim Julow. "It is a great fit to have the presenting sponsor
be an internationally recognized company. AT&T's presence will raise the
profile of the event even further."

 

The SCCA National Championship Runoffs(r) will be held at HPT October
8-14, 2007.

 

Heartland Park Topeka, a multi-purpose racing facility located in
Topeka, Kan., annually hosts NHRA POWERade drag racing, the Sports Car
Club of America (SCCA), and many other pro and amateur drag racing, road
racing, and dirt racing events throughout the race season.
