National Speed Sports News Day at the Museum Set For
Wednesday, August 12, in Knoxville
KNOXVILLE, IOWA (July 14, 2009) - The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame &
Museum Foundation is pleased to partner with Chris Economaki’s National
Speed Sport News (NSSN) on Wednesday, August 12, during the SuperClean
Knoxville Nationals, presented by Lucas Oil. The partnership will be known
as “National Speed Sport News Day at the Museum” and it will include some
exciting gifts from ‘America’s Weekly Motorsports Authority’ for museum
visitors on that Wednesday.
According to museum executive director Bob Baker, “Ever since the non-profit
museum was first talked about by people like Ralph Capitani, Chuck Day and
Graham Fee in Knoxville, Chris Economaki and his National Speed Sport News
staff have been incredibly supportive of our efforts. So, to finally be able
to consummate that relationship during the world’s largest and richest
sprint car event is very exciting for all involved. And, rightly so, the
museum’s visitors during the Knoxville Nationals will be the beneficiaries!”
All museum visitors on Wednesday, August 12, will receive complimentary
copies of the “Knoxville Nationals Special Edition” of National Speed Sports
News, with three lucky visitors each receiving a free one-year subscription
to the weekly publication. In addition, NSSN publisher Corinne Economaki
will donate autographed copies of its popular “Through the Lens” posters of
some of the best modern-day sprint car drivers to the 501(c)(3) non-profit
museum for exhibition and auction. The free and open-to-the-public
museum-benefit auction will take place at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 15,
on the air-conditioned second floor of the four-story facility.
NSSN senior editor Mike Kerchner said this week, “Our readership includes
Hall of Fame drivers, team owners and industry leaders. It makes perfect
sense that the biggest week of the year at the National Sprint Car Hall of
Fame opens with National Speed Sport News Day at the Museum. Sprint car
racing has always been a large part of what NSSN was built on and it will
play a major role in our future. I look forward to visiting with the fans
and guests at the Hall of Fame on this special night.”
