FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


The 2008 KISS Champion’s Helmet To Be Presented At Lawrenceburg Speedway
Stanford, IN, August 26, 2008 –- The 2008 King of Indiana Sprint Series Champion’s Helmet will be presented to series champion Jon Stanbrough at Lawrenceburg Speedway, Saturday night. Stanbrough earned his fourth KISS championship on the strength of victories at Gas City I-69 Speedway, Bloomington Speedway and Paragon Speedway.

Sponsored by Sprint Car & Midget Magazine, Simpson Performance Products and painted by Noah Ennis of Eagle Graphix, the helmet is truly unique, featuring a design of gold chrome and Hoosier blue, with KISS and sponsor logos. It is the second KISS Champion’s Helmet to be awarded, and Stanbrough has now won both.

The presentation of the KISS Champion’s helmet will take place during Lawrenceburg’s Dick Gaines Memorial, a $3,000-to-win racing event. Doug Auld, Editor/Publisher of Sprint Car & Midget Magazine, will join Lawrenceburg Speedway promoter Dave Rudisell in making the presentation on behalf of the KISS series.

This is a fitting setting for the presentation as Gaines was one of the top sprint car racers to come out of the Hoosier state. Enshrined in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Gaines gained fame as the wheelman for Karl Kinser before suffering injuries that sidelined him for a period of time during his prime. He also raced for many other top car owners, including Mitchell’s Richard Briscoe, with whom he returned to championship form. It is also fortunate that the presentation is able to take place at the newly remodeled Lawrenceburg speed palace. In May, Lawrenceburg’s KISS race was canceled when weather delayed completion of the on-going construction.

The general admission gates will open at 5 pm on Saturday, with hot laps at 6 and racing at 7. More information is available at http://www.lawrenceburgspeedway.com.

The King of Indiana Sprint Series is organized and conducted by the individual Indiana sprint car race track promoters to provide the best sprint car racing. More information is available on our website, www.kissracing.com.
