The "Gambler's Classic" Indoor Auto Race presented by Pepsi
will be even more exciting in 2008, thanks to Behrent's
Performance Warehouse.
Complementing an already-thrilling program on the concrete
floor of Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall, Florida, N.Y.-based
Behrent's Performance Warehouse will sponsor a Dash-for-Cash
event for the headline M&R Products Three Quarter
Midgets/600cc Micro-Sprints.
The Slingshots and Champ Karts will also be in action during
the Jan. 18 & 19 event, run in conjunction with Motorsports 2008
presented by VP Racing Fuels held at the nearby Atlantic City
Convention Center.
The Behrent's Dash for Cash will be a highlight of Saturday
night's program. The 10-lap event will feature the top-three
drivers in time trials from Friday night and the three heat-race
victors, also from the Friday preliminary program.
The race will offer up a $500 top prize, with $150 going to
second. Gift certificates worth $25 to Behrent's will be handed
out to the drivers who place third through sixth.
"Last year's classic battle between Joey Payne and Lou
Cicconi Jr. left the fans wanting more," said event promoter Len
Sammons, referring to the down-to-the-wire finish of last year's
feature. "The Behrent's Dash for Cash should only produce more
thrilling memories in 2008!"
