~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PRESS RELEASE June 22, 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Immediate Release Contact: Kevin Ramsell,ASA Public Relations Director (kramsell@asa-racing.com [mailto:racingpr@me.com]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JOE GIBBS DRIVEN RACING OIL SEE'S A WIN-WIN IN THE ASA MEMBER TRACK NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ American Speed Association PR DAYTONA BEACH, FL (Tuesday, June 22, 2010) - You hear nothing but excitement in his voice when you ask Lake Speed, Jr., General Manager of Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, about the ASA Member Track National Championship. In it's third year as the title sponsor of the Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil ASA Member Track National Championship, Speed is seeing a lot of benefits. Speed is already impressed with how the 2010 chase is going in the early stages so far. "That is neat how the format works, it can change week to week," Speed said in regards to the unique formula used to determine the National Champion. "This lets the cream rise to the top and reward the driver who has hard competition, races hard, and has the best record overall." For the third year in a row, the 2010 National Champion will get a tryout with Joe Gibbs Racing. "You are the best of the best this year and you will have an opportunity to show it off to the best of the best," Speed exclaimed. "Everything in life is an opportunity and this is a great one for a local driver to have." Speed also said that it doesn't matter how old the champion is, "Age isn't an option. If you can drive a race car and you can prove it, JGR is interested in you," Speed said. "There are some sponsors who want an older driver to represent them." The other benefit that Speed is seeing with their involvement in the Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil ASA Member Track National Championship is the exposure their products is getting to the ASA Member Tracks. "We are having a really good year," Speed declared. "Competitors are starting to see the value of our product because in the long run it is saving them money. With the economy being tight, the weekly racer is looking for cost savings anywhere they can. Yes, our price may be higher than the competition, but the difference is that our oil lasts longer. They don't have to change it as often as with others. We have seen where our oil is good for up to ten race events, they only need to change their oil filter about every race. They are seeing consistent great performance." Speed's philosophy about his product is unique. "In the long run, it will save money and keep the competitors racing," Speed explained. "That is what racing needs, and we all have a good time. When racing is doing well, we all are doing well." And with their title sponsorship in the ASA Member Track National Championship he sees a greater benefit, "We really like the idea of giving back to keep the racing community strong and we excited to help keep the community going and growing." "We feel that we have a very unique program with Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil and Joe Gibbs Racing," Dennis Huth, ASA President said. "What makes it unique is what we offer the National Champion, a tryout with one of the top teams in NASCAR. There are many competitors racing week after week at short tracks all across the country and many of them hope to get noticed by a team like Joe Gibbs Racing. We are proud to offer that opportunity to our ASA Member Track competitors. I would like to thank Joe Gibbs, JD Gibbs, and Lake Speed for their involvement in the ASA Member Track National Championship." You can view the standings at www.speednetdirect.com. Drivers eligible for the National Championship must race weekly at an ASA Member Track along with being the 2010 track champion. The unique formula used to determine the champion not only includes where they finished but how many positions they moved up in each feature event. Which will provide the best weekly short track racing action this season. The 2010 National Championship season will end at midnight on Sunday, September 26, 2010.
