KANKAKEE LANDS TWO MORE TITLE SPONSORS FOR 2010 SEASON
by: Paul Bayne

KANKAKEE, IL (November 23) - The staff at Kankakee County Speedway has been hard at work canvassing the area for sponsors and we are proud to announce that we have brought onboard title sponsors for both the UMP Modifieds and UMP Street Stocks.

U-Pull-It Self-Serve Auto Parts of Chicago Heights, Ill., has signed on to serve as the title sponsor for the UMP Modified division in 2010. The division will now be known as the U-Pull-It UMP Modifieds. In addition, long time racing supporter Ronnie Miller has signed on as title sponsor for the UMP Street Stocks, and that division will now be known as the Miller Hydraulic Street Stocks.

It should come as no surprise to racer's and fans alike, that these two sponsors have come onboard, given their level of support for racing in the Kankakee area for many, many years. We would like to thank the Spatola and Miller families for all they do to help support racing, and for all racing can do to help support them. Please support these title sponsors' if you need used car parts or any hydraulic needs.

Despite a brief break for Promoter Tom Smith, work progresses at Kankakee County Speedway with improvements to the press box/VIP area scheduled to be completed by January 2010. Also 40 truckloads of dirt were recently added and graded in the pit area. The UMP Modified division will be happy to hear some exciting news in that a title sponsor has been secured for that division as well. Details on that are coming soon.

Finally, KCS is proud to announce that we will be featuring LIVE streaming video for selected events next year, if not the entire season. We have also discussed the possibility of doing internet radio broadcasts and/or radio simulcasts.
