Special from Circle Track Nationals:

In an effort to raise local fan awareness for the Inaugural Circle Track Nationals at O’Reilly Raceway Park, the partners in promotion of the CTN went to NASCAR Speedfest this past 3 day weekend at ORP. The CTN set up a booth display on ORP’s midway featuring one of the Hendricks County Motorsports CRA Super Series late models for Thursday nights USAC Silver Crown race, Friday nights NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Race and Saturday’s NASCAR Busch Series Race. With nearly a packed house 2 of the 3 nights, it certainly figured to be a great chance to promote the CTN to the local fan. The surprise came when an overwhelming amount of support came from fans over 50 miles and as many as 300 miles away!

"Jim and myself have worked really hard to put a high quality event together across each racing division that will truly give the racing fans the most short track bang for their buck," Remarked Chris Gabehart. "We were extremely pleased with this weekends reception towards that amongst not only local race fans but race fans from the surrounding states. Many of the fans we had talked to were already aware of the event. And if they weren’t, by the time we gave them a few fliers and explained to them its format, most walked away making travel plans with their group to attend the Inaugural Circle Track Nationals. We couldn’t be more excited about our experience at this years Kroger Speedfest at ORP!"
