Town Fair Tire to present Tour-Type Modified Shoot Out
Thompson, CT — Town Fair Tire and Thompson International Speedway have renewed an agreement that will, once again, make Town Fair Tire a major player at the famed speedway during the 2010 racing season.
With seventy-eight stores throughout New England, Town Fair Tire Centers, Inc. will sponsor a major race event and will continue their very popular contingency program with Thompson’s Limited Sportsman division. The announcement was made by Thompson Owner and Promoter, Don Hoenig and Jim Uliano, Vice President of Town Fair Tire Centers, Inc.
Town Fair Tire will be the presenting sponsor of the first and much anticipated Tour-Type Modified race scheduled for Thursday, June 3rd. This race will be the first of four open competition events for Tour-Type Modified race cars. Interest among fans and competitors is very high due to the nature of the race and the fact that it will be a “dash for the cash” 40-lap feature event. Qualifying heat races and, if necessary, consolation races will be used to determine the starting field for these unique race programs. These open competition races are expected to draw a wide variety of Modified racers from all over the northeast.
Town Fair Tire’s contingency program will once again offer a $100.00 bonus to the winner of the Limited Sportsman division races on ten selected race nights between June and August. This program was a huge hit with the competitors last year and is expected, once again, to make the drivers in this ultra competitive division work just that much harder to gain a win.
Race fans will also benefit from this arrangement between the speedway and Town Fair Tire Centers, Inc. Thousands of discount coupons have been printed and distributed to all seventy-eight Town Fair location throughout New England. The free coupons offer a $3.00 general admission discount for regular Thursday Night Thompson Thunder (TNTT) events during the 2010 racing season. Fans should visit a Town Fair Tire Center and pick up a free discount coupon. To find Town Fair Tire locations, fans are urged to visit www.townfair.com.
