Infineon Raceway 'Salutes Our Troops' in 2010

Infineon Raceway Announces 

Sonoma Salutes Our Troops Program for 2010

                   

SONOMA, Calif. (April 1, 2010) - The military has long featured a strong
presence at Infineon Raceway, but the Sonoma Valley facility will put
the Armed Forces front-and-center in 2010 with the Sonoma Salutes Our
Troops campaign.

The season-long salute to the Armed Forces will feature military
elements at several major events, including the NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series, NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, IZOD IndyCar(r) Series,
motorcycles, historic car races and more.

The season-long program will culminate with Military Appreciation Day at
the Indy(r) Grand Prix of Sonoma on Sunday, Aug. 22.

Some of the other exciting season-long elements include:

*         Increased discounts for active military members at all major
events. 

*         Tickets for Troops program, where fans can purchase tickets to
all major events that will be distributed to active military members. 

*         Hometown Heroes will be recognized during pre-event ceremonies
at all major events. 

*         Partnership with Vintage Valley Blue Star Moms (serving
Solano, Napa and Yolo counties) to coordinate shipments of cards, other
items, to troops serving overseas. 

*         Enhanced military participation in pre-event ceremonies at all
major events. 

*         A Sonoma Salutes Our Troops dedicated page on
infineonraceway.com 

       Infineon Raceway is also taking the opportunity to promote a very
important program, Troops to College.  Troops to College was created by
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to attract more veterans to
California's public universities and colleges by making campuses more
veteran friendly.  For more information on the Troops to College
program, visit www.troopstocollege.ca.gov

       Infineon Raceway would like to invite race fans to join us in our
Sonoma Salutes Our Troops program. For updates, call 800-870-RACE or
