Salem, IN (April 14, 2008) – CRA Super Series events will feature a new exciting addition this season, the CRA Family Fun Zone, which will debut at this weekends series season opener at Winchester Speedway. The CRA Family Fun Zone will be a special place for fans attending the series events this season to spend some entertaining time with their family before the cars hit the track or during breaks in the on track action.

Brookside Motorsports owners Shawn and Donna Matthuis are the creators of the CRA Family Fun Zone, they competed with the CRA Super Series for the first time in 2007 with son Sean Matthuis, who finished second in Rookie Of The Year points and eighth in overall series points. The family traveled from their New Lenox, Illinois home to compete with the series, and wanted a way to involve families more in the series racing events and provide some fun for the kids attending the races. Donna will manage the CRA Family Fun Zone along with several volunteers.

The CRA Family Fun Zone will include a #0 Brookside Motorsports CRA Super Series late model show car, that fans will be able to get in and get their picture taken. There will also be several family friendly games and lots of prizes for the kids and some for the adults as well. Sponsorship of the CRA Family Fun Zone has been provided by Kids Corner Radio (www.kidscorner.net), Tyndale Publishers (www.tyndale.com), Moody Radio (www.moodyradio.org), and also by generous donations from several members of the CRA Super Series racing community. Copies of Tyndale Publisher’s kids racing book by Chris Fabry, called Blind Spot, along with other great prizes will be given as families visit the fun zone.

"We are really excited about having the CRA Family Fun Zone at our series events in 2008," remarked Glenn Luckett, Director of the CRA Super Series. "We appreciate the Brookside Motorports Team developing the idea and putting forth a lot of time and effort to make it happen. This will be a great addition to our events, its something that our track owners can use to promote our events and hopefully help bring more families to the tracks to enjoy the CRA Family Fun Zone and the great racing of the CRA Super Series!"
