ATLANTIC CITY,
NJ January 1, 2007 . . . It’s a dream weekend for racers in Atlantic
City on January 12 - 14, with Motorsports 2007 presented by VP Racing
Fuels by day and the Gambler’s Classic sponsored by Pepsi Indoor Auto
Racing at night. One town filled with entertainment, gambling and great
restaurants, boosted by the invasion of the motorsport community!
The Motorsports 2007 show is the 22nd edition of the “midwinter
motorsports extravaganza.” It’s the first time the show is being
presented in Atlantic City, which has created tremendous interest.
The show will be at the plush Atlantic City Convention Center, where
270,000 square feet of space will be filled with nothing but auto
racing.
Racers and fans are really excited about the show because the
“Gambler’s Classic” M&R Midgets (Three-Quarter Midget and 600cc Micros)
race will be taking place on Friday and Saturday evenings during the
same weekend, just blocks away at Boardwalk Hall.
More than 275 motorsports vehicles were on display at the 2006 show and
that number is expected to increase. There will also be a hardcore
manufacturer’s section making up a large part of the show.

speedways and sanctioning organizations will be using the show to
announce their plans for
the 2007 season.
“It is truly a huge weekend in the auto racing industry with the show
and the indoor racing all happening in the same town,” commented show
organizer Len Sammons. “Everyone loves it because they can make one trip
and see racing and the show. I think this is going to be a
record-setting weekend for both events.”
Again this year US Smokeless Tobacco will host the Ms. Motorsports
Pageant. There will also be opportunities for fans to meet some of their
racing favorites (both on the national and local levels) and collect
autographs.
Nationally-known drivers signed for the event include Matt Kenseth,
Denny Hamlin, Dave Blaney, Ron Capps, Todd Bodine and Erin Crocker. Also
attending will be noted media personalities Chris Economaki, Bobby
Dillner and Jeff Hammond.
A variety of industry seminars will be presented during the weekend. A
complete schedule is available on the web-site.
