~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PRESS RELEASE December 31, 2009 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Immediate Release Contact: Kevin Ramsell,ASA Public Relations Director (kramsell@asa-racing.com [mailto:racingpr@me.com]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MERIDIAN SPEEDWAY GETS A COMPLETE MAKEOVER AS IT RETURNS AS AN ASA MEMBER TRACK IN 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AMERICAN SPEED ASSOCIATION PR DAYTONA BEACH, FL (Thursday, December 31, 2009) - The snow is covering it up now, but come this spring fans of Meridian Speedway, an ASA Member Track located 10 miles west of Boise in Meridian, Idaho, will have a new look for the 2010 racing season. While it will have a new look one thing that will not change is their participation in the ASA Member Track program. The new look comes from the new asphalt that was placed at the end of the 2009 season, "All of the paving is done," Adam Nelson, Meridian Speedway Promoter exclaimed. "The pits, track and the grandstand area all got new paving which is now covered up in snow. All we are doing now is waiting for the paint striper to come in the spring." The Speedway offers a variety of racing as 13 different divisions compete throughout the season giving the fans a unique variety every Saturday night and some Friday nights. Their 2010 season will open on April 17th and run every Saturday night, except for June 19th, until September 18th. Nelson is excited be back as an ASA Member Track as he enters his second year of promoting Meridian Speedway, "We are all looking forward to the season. This is our second year here at Meridian so we have a lot of our bugs worked from the past season. It's been pretty seamless," Nelson said. "The racers and customers are happy with all of the improvements thanks to all of our partners. The partners like nice things so they will do what it takes to make the place look nice." The decision to renew as an ASA Member Track really wasn't a tough decision but he did do his homework and realized it was an easy one to make, "I don't think the decision was all that tough, we spent a few months looking at all of the other options out there and there is definitely not a package that puts the coverage together like the ASA Member Track program does," Nelson explained. "We are happy to be back! We wanted to make sure that ASA had the best of everything from insurance, point fund, service and more. We put it to the test and made an easy decision that it is." He has also seen how well the program has worked for his racers as well, "We had a couple guys that had to use the insurance last year and the guys appreciated it because claims got paid and they got taken care of. On that note they are happy," Nelson said. "Meridian Speedway is a long standing ASA Member Track and we are glad to have them back," Dennis Huth, ASA President said. "It is a first class facility especially with the latest improvements they have made. I am glad that they looked at all of the options out there and chose the ASA Member Track program. It's a testament to what all of our partners, tracks, and series have seen with our goal to provide the best for everyone involved in motorsports."
