Tucson, Arizona (June 23rd, 2009) – The Stars of the ASCS Canyon Region heat up for their 2009 USA Raceway debut while the stars of the UMP West Modified ranks cool off. USA Raceway hosts the 1st Annual “Hot Summer Nights” pre-race party featuring music from Flyin Blynd.

The pre-race party will kick off with live music and a chance for fans and racers to take a shot at Tim “The Flagman” and his counter part, USA Race Coordinator Jason Rominger, as they are first up in the ice cold dunk tanks.

Race promoter, Benji Lyons will team up with ASCS point leader “Chargin” Charles Davis as they dare to take the plunge in the fridged water. Top drivers from all divisions will take their turn in the dueling dunk tanks and fans will be able to test their throwing skills and get autographs from drivers in all divisions.

RC Whitwell will trade in his helmet for a microphone and team up with Owen McKinley as USA Raceways guest track side announcer. Whitwell, who has been unstoppable on the track, will join fellow Modified drivers as they also will have a turn in the tank.

The Hornets will be joined by the super quick mini sprints as they fill the short track with action. Mini Sprint drivers will take part in the first annual Piggly’s Mini Sprint Open, Presented by Network Automotive.

The Phoenix Parker Store “Pole Challenge” will be one more reason for fans to not miss the action this Saturday night. The “Pole Challenge” will consist of seven head to head match races to determine the start of the 30 lap sprint car feature.

Bring your bathing suites and the kids can cool off in two 18’ water slides while Tucson’s Flyin Blynd will provide live music right up to race time. Happy Hour and the “Hot Summer Nights” festivities will kick off at 3pm leading up to the 2009 debut of the ASCS Non Wing Sprint Cars.

The Stars of the ASCS Sprint Cars will headline the show along with Factory Stocks, X-Mods, Mini Sprints and Hornets. General admission tickets will go on sale at 3pm for only $12, racing will begin promptly at 7pm.

Suite Access Passes which allow race fans the opportunity to enjoy the races from USA Raceway’s VIP Suite are also on sale for only $25.

Who said promotion was dead? Sounds like a great time! I just wish someone in the Midwest would think of things like this. Great prices, also. Congratulations to everyone associated with making this happen. Good job all around in the great Southwest.
