Sadler Set to be Part of Huge Motorsports 2008 Race Car Show in Atlantic City
Atlantic City, NJ — Veteran NASCAR Sprint Car racer Elliott Sadler will be part of the huge Motorsports 2008 Race Car Show presented by VP Racing Fuels. The three day show, set to open at noon on January 18th, will take place at the Atlantic City, NJ Convention Center and is expected to attract in excess of 30,000 people.
The show, filling close to 300,000 square feet of the Convention Center, will offer just about everything imaginable in motorsports including more than 250 motorsports vehicles on display.
Sadler, who will drive a Dodge for GEM Motorsports in 2008 and carry sponsorship from Best Buy, will be visiting with fans and signing autographs from 2 pm to 4 pm on Saturday, January 19th. Considered one of the most engaging personalities in the sport Sadler has a wonderful rapport with media and fans.
Sadler is coming off a season that saw him finish 25th in final Sprint Cup standings. His best effort was a sixth place finish in the season opening Daytona 500.
The veteran racer has become a fan favorite in part because of his involvement with the popular Trackside show on SPEED Channel.
He joins an impressive list of NASCAR racing talents that will be participating in the show. Included with Sadler is Craftsman Truck Champion Ron Hornaday along with Kenny Wallace, Kenny Schrader, and Casey Mears.
Schrader and Wallace will be discussing their own careers in NASCAR and give their thoughts on the state of short-track racing nationwide in their roles as racers and promoters. The Kenny and Kenny presentation will take place at 10:45 am on Friday, January 18th. Those with Motorsports 2008 tickets will be admitted to the A-Hall entrance at 10 am to see and hear these industry speakers.
Schrader is also scheduled to participate in the Gambler’s Classic indoor auto racing events at the nearby Boardwalk Hall Friday evening. The nine event program consists of the Roaring 20s for the Midgets (Three Quarter Midgets and 600 Micro-Sprints), Dirty Dozens for the Slingshots and the 7 come 11 for the Sr. Caged Karts. Gates open at 6:30 pm.
Motorsports 2008 offers more than 600 exhibit booths offering everything from safety equipment, race car parts to racing collectibles.
In addition close to two dozen FREE seminars covering subjects from sponsorship to legal issues and on to setting up race cars will be presented during the three days.
Again this year the very popular US Tobacco Ms. Motorsports Pageant will be presented with the winner walking off with a $1,500 cash prize plus a personal appearances deal.
