Logano Set for Two Days
at Motorsports 2009 Race Car & Trade Show
Joey Logano, considered by many to be the next superstar in
motorsports, will be visiting with fans and signing autographs
at the annual Motorsports 2009 Race Car & Trade Show, January 16
and 17th at the plush Atlantic City Convention Center.
The 18-year-old NASCAR Sprint Cup racer, set to take Tony
Stewart’s place on the Joe Gibbs owned Home Depot sponsored
Toyota team in 2009, has been a standout performer in every type
of racing that he has competed in during his long career.
Logano, nicknamed “Sliced Bread” ever since former NASCAR
Nationwide Series champion Randy LaJoie referred to him as the
“next best thing since sliced bread, has won in quarter midgets,
bandoleros, legends, late models and Hooters Cup events on his
way to NASCAR.
In 2007 he won the NASCAR Camping World East Series
championship and moved to the NASCAR Nationwide Series in May,
2008 where he has been a two time winner.
Logano has run a few NASCAR Sprint Cup races and is scheduled
to race a JGR entry in some season closing events on NASCAR’s
premier racing circuit.
The Middletown, CT racer is expected to be a very popular
addition to what will be a star studded array of racers and
personalities representing many different segments of the sport.
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. Registration information was just recently
mailed to more than 400 speedways and racing organizations. 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.

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.
