SpeedwayEXPO is pleased to announce the return of Sunoco as
the event's presenting sponsor. The agreement was forged through
Mike Joy and John Holland, co-owners of New England Racing Fuel,
supplier of Sunoco racing gas and products to area racers.
Joy, NASCAR on FOX's play-by-play anchor, began his announcing
career at Riverside Park Speedway, which will be a big part of
the coming SpeedwayEXPO. Joy said, "New England Racing Fuel and
the Sunoco brand are really excited to help SpeedwayEXPO grow
into the kind of pre-season, must-attend event that we all
remember. Our title sponsorship will remind casual race fans of
EXPO each time they pump their gas at participating stations."
Holland added, "We are committed to local and touring racing in
New England and we're very glad that racers and fans will again
have a weekend event to gather, meet drivers, see race cars and
celebrities and get information for the coming season." In
addition to their involvement with New England Racing Fuel, both
Holland and Joy also have participated in New England racing as
competitors.
