THUNDER SERIES 2008 SET FOR NINETEENTH SEASON AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY
For eighteen years, the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing
Series at the Grandview Speedway has presented a variety of specialty
events that have gained local, regional and national exposure. And as
a result, the Thunder Series remains one of the longest running special
event series that has remained successful at a weekly racing facility.
Behind the scenes, the Thunder Series promotional team takes pride in
presenting racing events in the not so typical style or approach.
A variety of "fan fun" activities have quickly become routine, like the
Inside/Out promotion, where fans have an opportunity to watch warm-ups
from the infield. After each race, fans are also invited to homestretch
to take part in the always joyous victory lane ceremonies. JOE the
PIZZA Dude is a long hit, as he runs through the grandstands giving away
pizza. COMDIAL Telephone Communications and President Jim Gallagher
always provide fan give away items as well as a frisbee toss. Usually
one event per season (weather permitting), fans are brought down on the
homestretch for driver introduction prior to the start of the feature
event. Also a popular and expected treat are the fire works that take
place on the parade lap of the main feature event of the night.
In 2008, look for guest announcers, a "fan announcer" as well as a "fan
flagman". Of course, returning in 2008 will be the FAN FUN Nights, a
cross promotion with local speedways and the Thunder on the Hill Racing
Series.
In eighteen years, the Thunder on the Hill Racing Series has presented
seventy-nine events paying out more than $2.7 million dollars in prize
money.
