NASCAR's Jim Hunter to be Keynote Speaker
at Motorsports 2009 in Atlantic City

One of the most knowledgeable individuals in NASCAR, perhaps in motorsports, is Jim Hunter. The NASCAR Vice President of Corporate Communications has been a race promoter, a public relations person (Indianapolis cars, Firestone and speedways), a sports writer and a now a corporate executive.

Hunter, often a spokesperson for NASCAR, will be the keynote speaker at the Len Sammons promoted Motorsports 2009 Race Car & Trade Show. The 24th edition of the show is set for January 16th and 17th at the plush Atlantic City Convention Center.

The long time NASCAR executive will talk about the state of NASCAR and the state of the short track racing industry. Hunter’s insightful remarks will give attendees a much better understanding of the business. Hunter has also agreed to take questions from the audience at the special Friday 10 a.m. session that will open the show.

Motorsports 2009 will encompass more than 275,000 square feet of the A.C. Convention Center and will offer just about everything imaginable in motorsports. More than 275 race cars are expected to be on display along with a hardcore manufacturer’s section, collectible and general exhibit areas, free industry seminars, roundtable discussions, stage shows and much more.

Again in 2009 autograph sessions featuring nationally famous racing stars and personalities will be available to show attendees FREE.

New in 2009 will be a FREE Exhibitor’s Reception on Thursday, January 15th running from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

In addition the second annual Promoter’s Summit will take place on both days. The Summit will give race promoters, public relations people and others involved in local short track racing the opportunity to hear from a variety of speakers covering a wide range of subjects relating to short track promotion. More than 60 promoters from more than 10 states registered for the Summit earlier this year.

Complete information on the Summit may be had by telephoning Ernie Saxton at 215.752.7797 or e-mail Esaxton144@aol.com.

Again this year indoor auto racing, another Len Sammons Production, will be taking place on the nights of January 16th and 17th at the Boardwalk Hall located just a short distance from the Convention Center.

The three events together make for an exciting fan friendly weekend of motorsports entertainment in the popular resort city.
