 “We would like to thank all of the Pro-Late Model teams for their support of the 22nd Annual Jook George Classic presented by Vox Energy. Their cooperation enabled us provide the teams with additional purse money and contingency sponsors and we were able to showcase the racing community in a very positive manner,” commented Speedway owner Matt Miley. “This week’s Racer Appreciation Night is our way of thanking these fine businesses and individuals for their support of the weekly racing action at PPMS. In addition, Frankland Racing Supply has served the racing community for more than 50 years and their headquarters is located here in Western PA so many of our weekly competitors use their products; hopefully the gift cards we are providing will come in handy as they prepare for the 2012 racing season.”
“American Die Cast is also sponsoring this Saturday’s racing card and we will have plenty of beautiful racing die casts to give away to the fans in attendance. Race teams discounts will also be available on orders our competitors place with the firm. Since American Die Cast is another locally owned and operated firm this is an excellent opportunity for our weekly competitors to ‘thank” their 2011 marketing partners with die casts made by a nationally respected firm that is headquartered here in Western, PA,” continued Miley.
