SPEEDWAY PARTNERS TAKE APC 300 TO THE NEXT LEVEL Sponsor Coalition Adds Over $12,000.00 in Prizing to the Great Canadian Race! August 15, 2007For Immediate Release John Houghtoninfo@delawarespeedway.comDelaware Speedway PR McColl Racing Enterprises, United Floors, Restoration Masters, Auto Trim Design, Larry Knott Fibreglass and APC / CANUSA have partnered together to drastically ramp up the prizing for the APC 300. The new prizing will heavily benefit drivers who may not win the race, but still have a good showing: - One prize up for grabs will be a bare Late Model chassis from McColl Racing Enterprises. The chassis is being presented in conjunction with Restoration Masters & United Carpet. The approximate value of this prize is over $5,500.00. The chassis is the primary component in the construction of a new Late Model car. - Larry Knott Fibreglass Fabrication is offering up $1,000.00 gift certificate. Knott Fibreglass is responsible for many of the fiberglass bodies seen on the race track. - AutoTrim Design will be offering $1,000.00 decaling package; AutoTrim Design is responsible for many of the decaling on the race cars and signs around the facility. The best part? These prizes will be given by random draw of the drivers who start the final feature. This means that any driver who shows up to race in the event will have the opportunity to get in on the prizes, not just the winners! Furthermore, APC will give every driver who attempts to qualify a $100.00 gift certificate to be used at any APC store. If 40 cars arrive for the APC 300 this could be a potential additional $4,000.00 available to competitors. “This is a fantastic opportunity for our racers to get some prizing who might not win the race.” said race director Jeff Wilcox, “It’s very exciting to see companies getting together to help out on these events in a way that directly benefits the competitors.” Not to leave the top finishers out, on top of the $10.000.00 to win, the top 3 finishers will receive a commemorative customized APC 300 bar fridge; a way to remember a Great Canadian Race for a long time! “This is an example of what speedway supporters can achieve by coming together,” said Luke Ramsay of APC / CANUSA. “We want to make this the super bowl of Late Model racing in Canada. This is the big one. We want the best guys from all over putting the best against the best.” The coalition of sponsors may be able to do just that: all told, the increase is over $12,000.00 above the original purse bringing the new purse total to $47,750.00 in money and prizing available directly to the competitors. With prizing spread throughout the field, anyone with a Late Model car will be taking a serious look at this race. The APC 300 is the crowing jewel of Late Model racing in Canada. Held annually at Delaware Speedway the event is rich with history and is the top Late Model racing prize in the country. The event is the culmination of the Great Canadian Race Weekend taking place August 31-September 2. The APC 300 will run on Sunday September 2. The event settles both the coveted Delaware Speedway track championship and the Weekend Warrior Series Cup in the first two segments. The final 150 laps is a no-holds barred pedal to the metal race to the finish! Weekend pass pricing has been announced for the weekend: the pass will be just $45 and will give general admission to all three days. Pricing for Friday and Saturday has also been adjusted to regular Friday event prices. Kids 12 & under will be free to all three days. These adjustments combined with free camping make Delaware Speedway the place to be on the long weekend! For more information visit www.delawarespeedway.com.

Mobil 1 Re reply #26 . I understand the sponsor thing.But remember the track has the final say. Also remember the track makes good money off this.If they can say okay to the sponsor well then they can share the wealth to the cars and trucks that race at this facility.Win purses for each division
Late Model $1000.00
Modified $600.00
Sport Stocks $325.00
Trucks $250.00
Again I state I have nothing against this KOH but when you start putting purse money down on it Sponsor or not you have a problem $1000.00 -$2000.00 to win when your regular track cars & trucks suffer
P.S. you wonder why your counts are down take a good look and you will see

So you're saying that it would be better for the track not to accept the sponsor money if it can't come back to the teams? If I've understood how the track pulls the purse money from, you'd need as many people through the gate as possible in order to guarantee the posted payouts, so wouldn't something like this guarantee that the weekly competitors get their posted purse? I understand about it not being right, but it's not like the KOTH sponsors aren't involved elsewhere with the track to begin with...

unless you own or operate a track i would not be so quick to say they should do this or do that.to make things work you have to balance three thing :1 drivers /teams--2 fans--3 corporate. one is no more important than the other, if you ever loose site of that your track will close. racers put the show on they do not pay the bills ,corporate does and front gate. it is like trying to juggle three chainsaws.
