Noted Performance Companies Return with Sponsorship
of the North-South Shootout™

    The Joie of Seating of Concord, NC and PRO-Formance Shocks, Inc. of Lawrenceville , GA have agreed to extend their involvement with the annual North-South Shootout for 2006. Both companies came on board as associate sponsors in 2005 with satisfying results and will continue to provide sponsorship in 2006 for both the Modified and SK-Type Modified main events.
    "It is meaningful to us to have companies return as sponsors year-after-year. It means that we are doing something right," said race promoter Charles Kepley of Lexington, NC. " But more importantly, when companies like the Joie of Seating and PRO Shocks come back, it means that we can continue to do the right thing for the drivers and teams that support the race each year."
    The Joie of Seating presented all North-South Shootout qualifying race winners (15 in total) with coupons valued at $250. On race weekend, the Joie of Seating will present a total of six Safer Systems valued at $450. The Safer System is a bolt on kit that includes a head restraint and two-side pieces. The system will bolt on to any Kirkey, Butler or Richardson seat. The Safer Systems will be distributed to the first and last place finishers in both the Modified and SK-type modified main events along with a third set for a randomly selected finisher in both the Modified 100 and SK-Type 50. The selection for the third and final set will be made by the winner of the now-famous peddle car race that is held annually at the Shootout.
    Children of competitors or fans are selected to race on the front stretch at Concord Motorsports Park in nostalgic peddle cars painted identical to some of the Modified cars in competition. The event, which has been swept by Shawna Crowley-daughter of winning crew chief Kevin Crowley, has grown immensely in popularity since in it's inception in 2004.
    A total of five additional gift certificates will be presented to the winners and last place finishers of both the Modified and SK-Type Modified Non-Qualifiers event as well as a certificate for the competitor (in any division) who has traveled the farthest to be part of the 4th Annual North-South Shootout.
    "We love the Modifieds," said Joe Pelham of the Joie of Seating. "It is where Randy (LaJoie) and I cut our teeth. We have a lot of friends out there and basically we want to do whatever we can to educate them on their safety and ultimately to make them safe. By giving our products away at the North-South Shootout we are helping to do just that. The race is run very smoothly and we feel fortunate to be affiliated with such a great event."
    Founded by New England native Randy LaJoie, the Joie of Seating has gained prominence in all levels of stock car racing-from local short track-to touring series-to national series-for their innovations in safety technology. The Joie of Seating offers a complete product line that will suit the needs of most racing applications from the local racer to the ranks of Nextel Cup.

    PRO-Formance Shocks, Inc., also now in their second year as part of the Shootout, is the leading manufacturer of racing shocks. Through their generosity, $200 gift certificates will be presented to the winners of both the Modified and SK-type Modified main events. Additional $100 gift certificates will be presented to one randomly selected finisher in each of the Modified 100 and SK-Type 50.
    "Our first year of involvement with the Shootout was in 2005 and it was a wonderful experience," said Sales, Marketing & Tech Specialist for PRO Shocks, Jeff Sandt. "We couldn't help but do it again. PRO-Formance, Inc. has been very successful with our product in the Modifieds and we cannot think of a better way to be part of such a special show."
    In business for over two decades, PRO-Formance Shocks, Inc. is the industry leader in shock technology. "Using unique a blend of engineering, on track testing and technical experience Pro-Shocks stands heads above the competition in quality and performance." PRO Shocks can be found on top running cars in virtually every racing division including the Modifieds and SK Modifieds.

    The North-South Shootout is a 100-lap Modified race that features the best Modified drivers from both north and south of the Mason-Dixon Line on the famed half-mile tri-oval of Concord Motorsports Park. The popular SK Modifieds will be part of the excitement with a 50-lapper of their own. The format for the fourth annual event will boast time trials, heat races, consolation and non-qualifiers event(s) for both the Modifieds and SKs. Support divisions include the Pro-Four Modifieds/Four Cylinders and two divisions of authentic vintage racing.
