CANADIAN TOM KUSZNIER GETS EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT:
MUSEUM’S J&J/KISTLER ‘410’ SPRINT CAR RAFFLE PRIZE
KNOXVILLE, IOWA (December 17, 2010) - Tom Kusznier of Thunder Bay,
Ontario, Canada, is the lucky grand prize winner of the National Sprint Car
Museum's sprint car raffle. The winning raffle ticket-buyer, who purchased
one ticket each at the Knoxville Nationals and the Charlotte World of
Outlaws World Finals, will receive a state-of-the-art J&J Auto Racing
chassis with a new Paul Kistler-built 410-cubic-inch racing engine. When
first contacted by phone by museum marketing manager Chuck Stowe and told
that museum board member Mike Husted drew his ticket this morning in the
non-profit foundation’s eighth biennial sprint car raffle, Kusznier
exclaimed, “Oh, my God, Merry Christmas!”
According to executive director Bob Baker, "We can't thank Jack & Bonnie
Elam of J&J Auto Racing and Paul Kistler of Kistler Engines enough for all
of their support on this 18-month project. These companies and all the rest
of the product donors continue to step up to the plate in a big way for our
501(c)(3) non-profit museum foundation. We would also like to extend our
sincere appreciation to all of the raffle ticket-buyers and museum staff,
volunteers, track promoters, series officials and trade show coordinators
for making the tickets available to the public. Everyone's support truly
allows us to continue promoting the future of sprint car racing by
preserving its past history."
In addition to the grand prize, two other prizes were drawn out of the
golden barrel. A brand-new tire stagger dyno from Kluhsman Racing
Components was won by racer Joe Wood, Jr., of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and a
top-of-the-line Bell Racing Apex GP driver suit courtesy of ‘Speedy’ Bill
Smith’s Speedway Motors was won by Lyman Witmer of Pine Grove, Pennsylvania.
