Motorsports promoters from more than a dozen states
representing more than 50 auto racing facilities will be taking
part in the first annual Promoter's Summit which will be part of
the huge Motorsports 2008 Race Car Show presented by VP Racing
Fuels.
Dennis Huth, president of Racing Speed Associates which owns
the American
Speed Association, will kick off the two day Summit on Friday,
January 18th at
9am as a keynote speaker. Huth, who is given credit by many for
getting the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series started when he was a
NASCAR executive, will share some of his thoughts on the state
of the short track racing industry. The American Speed
Association Member Track program is comprised of 27 short
tracks around the United States, as well as a variety of
regional and national touring series.
Just this past week Huth, along with WSIB Motorsports
Insurance, announced new insurance coverage for members while
they travel to and from ASA-sanctioned competition. ASA members
in good standing will be eligible for a $500,000 Excess Medical
Benefits policy along with a $20,000 Accidental Death and
Dismemberment Benefit.
ASA and WSIB Motorsports Insurance have signed on as a
sponsor of the Promoter's Summit and will entertain promoters at
a reception at the end of the first day of the Summit before
they head to the Gambler's Classic Indoor Racing Events at the
nearby Boardwalk Hall as guests of show promoter Len Sammons.
Huth's presentation will be followed by the "Kenny and Kenny
Show" when NASCAR Sprint Cup racers Kenny Wallace and Kenny
Schrader talk about the sport, their careers and their
involvement in short track racing across the nation.
Those with tickets for Motorsports 2008 will be able to take
seats for this exciting event at 10 am on Friday, January 18th
with the presentation beginning at 10:45 am. Wallace and
Schrader will do an autograph session at 1 pm and Schrader will
be racing in the Gambler's Classic indoor racing events at
Boardwalk Hall that evening.
The Promoter's Summit will offer a variety of seminars and
panel discussions on a variety of subjects from safety to
promotion to scoring and more.
"It is exciting to all of us who are involved to see the
interest in this first Summit," said Promoter's Summit director
Ernie Saxton. "We have full activities planned for both Friday
and Saturday plus we will allow attendees time to visit the show
floor."
The Summit is part of the three day Motorsports 2008 Race
Car Show presented by VP Racing Fuels which opens on Friday,
January 18th and continues through Sunday, January 20th at
the huge Atlantic City, NJ Convention Center.
