Dates Announced for 2012 Atlantic City Indoor Races

Indoor Auto Racing will return to Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall in 2012 for the tenth year under the promotion of Len Sammons. Sammons has confirmed that the exciting events will be held on Friday and Saturday nights, February 3 and 4, 2012. Ted Christopher from Plainville, Conn. will be returning to defend the "Gambler’s Classic" title he won this past January in the headline Three-Quarter Midget division.

Christopher, the 2009 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion, also won the "Coffee Cup" TQ-Midget feature held inside the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., to sweep last winter's Indoor Racing Series. The Providence events will again be held in 2012, on Saturday and Sunday, March 10 and 11.

The Three-Quarter Midgets hit speeds upwards of 70 mph while running around a course set-up on the historic landmark Boardwalk Hall concrete floor. Feature events find a minimum of 24 cars taking the green flag providing some hair raising action for fans. Each year profesional race car drivers from many different divisions of the sport; and over 10 different states, compete at the event.

The Champ Kart and Slingshot divisions will also be included in the exciting Alantic City race weekend. Racing will begin on Friday night at 7:30 p.m.. and at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Each night will include qualifying races and a feature event for the headline division.

Tickets for the Atlantic City event will go on sale on Wednesday, August 17, at Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com and at the Boardwalk Hall box office. Ticket prices remain the same as the past event. Premium seats sell-out quickly. Tickets and further information can also be obtained by calling the show office (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at 609-888-3618. Additional information may also be found on the web at www.aarn.com or by emailing motorsports@aarn.com.
