REGISTRATION FOR PINKS ALL OUT WILL BE FIVE-DAY WINDOW; RACERS WILL BE CHOSEN BY RANDOM DRAWING

JOLIET, Ill. – Racers who wish to register for PINKS All Out at Route 66 Raceway® June 25-26 can breathe a little easier today.

Instead of having just minutes to register on a first-come/first-served basis, racers will have five days to submit their information. Once that five-day window is over, a random drawing will determine which of those registrants will be one of the 425 racers to make the 500-racer field for this episode of the television show PINKS All Out, to premiere on SPEED later this year.

ROUTE 66 WILL NOT HOST SUPER CHEVY IN 2010: TOUGH DECISION FOLLOWED TALKS THAT CONTINUE

Route 66 Raceway would like to confirm that we will not be hosting a Super Chevy Show in 2010, as announced by the Show’s new ownership group this week.

This decision was not made easily but following conversations between Route 66 Raceway and the new owners, Super Chevy Show Weekend, Inc. (SCSW) it was determined that a few necessary details were not in place for Route 66 to commit to hosting the show this year. However, talks between Route 66 and SCSW will continue, and the possibility of bringing the show back in the future remains.

The staff of Route 66 is busy setting plans in motion for an action packed 2010 season and looks forward to welcoming all of our fans back to the track this summer!
