VP RACING FUELS WILL BE AN IMPORTANT PART
OF MOTORSPORTS 2008 SHOW IN ATLANTIC CITY
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ June 15, 2007 . . . The philosophy of VP Racing Fuels is
simple; make more power than the other guys and the wins and the championships
will follow. It has been that way for more than 30 years in all forms of
motorsports. Operating from their regional sales and distribution facility in
Newark, Delaware, VP returns for the their third year as sponsor of Motorsports
2008, the 23rd annual mid-winter motorsports extravaganza scheduled for January
18th thru 20th at the plush Atlantic City Convention Center.
“We like to think that VP has gotten involved with our show because we also have
a winning philosophy,” said show organizer Len Sammons. “Each year we have made
improvements, grown in size, encompass all segments of the sport. We continue to
take steps that we feel make the Motorsports 2008 presented by VP Racing Fuels
show a winner.”
VP works directly with racers at the track and on their dynos. It’s how they
started and continues to be their M.O. these days, with most of their R&D
accomplished in this manner.
Again at Motorsports 2008 VP will have a huge display in place and many of their
key people will be at the show to answer questions and talk about the many
products they offer.
VP offers more than 60 blends of racing fuels along with both synthetic and
specialty oils, a variety of chemicals (coolants and fuel additives) plus
accessories. Check out their website at
www.vpracingfuels.com
Results speak for themselves when it comes to VP. It has now been 31 years since
another fuel company has won an NHRA Pro Stock Championship and several years
since another fuel company has even finished on the podium for an AMA
Championship.
At Motorsports 2008 Bubba Clem, best known as SIRIUS satellite radio’s “Bubba
The Love Sponge”® will appear for two of the three show days. The outrageous
radio program, hosted by Bubba, is heard daily on SIRIUS’ Howard Stern channel
Howard 101 and around the world via the internet. Clem, who drives the Miller
Lite 101 VP-fueled dirt late model at East Bay Speedway in Tampa, Florida, has
attracted a diversified list of guests including everyone from NASCAR’s Tony
Stewart to some of drag racing’s best and even champion wrestler Hulk Hogan.
“Bubba The Love Sponge”® will appear in the VP Racing Fuels booth for two hours
on Friday, January 18th and again on Saturday, January 19th. His Miller Lite
Late Model will be on display all weekend.
The show, featuring just about everything imaginable in motorsports, will again
fill more than 275,000 square fee of the Atlantic City Convention Center.
There is limited display space remaining for the show. Exhibitors wishing to
participate in this hugely successful show should be in touch with Joe Pratt
(Show Manager) at 609.888.3618 as soon as possible.
Again in 2008 there will be indoor auto racing taking place at the nearby
Boardwalk Hall on January 18th and 19th.
Many hotels in the Atlantic City area, convenient to the show, will be offering
special discount rates for rooms. Reservations must be made well in advance to
insure availability at the special prices. Information on the show, indoor auto
races and discount hotel rooms is available at
www.aarn.com.

NEW DATES SET FOR MOTORSPORTS 2008 AND
GAMBLER’S CLASSIC
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ March 5, 2007 . . . The 23rd edition of the popular mid-winter
motorsports extravaganza, Motorsports 2008 presented by VP Racing Fuels, is set
to return to Atlantic City’s plush Convention Center and the Gambler’s Classic
Indoor Auto Racing events will return to the Boardwalk Hall conveniently located
just a few blocks away.
Len Sammons, producer of the two highly successful events, has announced new
dates for the show and indoor races, January 18-20th. In fact dates have been
set for the next three years with the 2009 show scheduled for January 17-19th
followed by January 16-18th for the 2010 events.
“We really feel that being able to move the show one week later is a big plus,”
said Sammons. “The new dates will keep us from competing with the National
Football League on Saturday night and it is good for racers since the dates will
not conflict with the Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Oklahoma.”
Again in 2008 the Motorsports Race Car Show will fill 300,000 square feet of the
Convention Center. Race enthusiasts will again be able to enjoy the Motorsports
show by day and the auto racing events during the evening.
Indoor auto racing featuring the Three Quarter Midgets/600cc Micro Sprints will
be the attraction at the Boardwalk Hall on January 18th and 19th.
“The indoor races in January were the most successful in the five year history
of the events,” said Sammons. “And we were really excited about our first time
efforts with the Motorsports show at the Convention Center. The show earned rave
reviews from both vendors and attendees.”
Plans are being made to introduce some reduced price hotel room packages that
will include transportation to the show and races.
Additional details regarding Motorsports 2008 and the Gambler’s Classic indoor
auto racing events will be announced as they are finalized.
Information on exhibit rates, reserving show space and more will be available
very shortly. Additional details are available by contacting show manager Joe
Pratt at 609.888.3618.
