by: Kevin Ramsell
Thursday, December 07, 2006 (Cambridge, WI) – Roy Kenseth of RK Race
Promotions has announced that his third All-Star Challenge event will return
to Madison International Speedway on Tuesday, June 26, 2007. The event
will once again be called the First Supply All-Star Challenge.
Like the successful event in 2006 at the fast half-mile facility, 2003 NASCAR
Nextel Cup Champion and 1994 MIS track champion Matt Kenseth will return along
with 2002, 2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup champion, Tony Stewart. Kenseth has
stated that he is looking at having a third NASCAR Nextel Cup driver to
compete at the 2007 event.
“It was a no brainer to bring this event back to MIS after the awesome event
we had in 2006,” Roy Kenseth recently stated. “Both Matt and Tony
had a lot of fun and can’t wait to return and compete again.”
Kenseth has also stated that this event will be a super late model
event. Details regarding the feature event and rules will be announced
at a later date.
First Supply is proud to be the title sponsor for the second year in a
row. First Supply has evolved into the single source provider that most
Midwestern contractors rely on for wholesale plumbing, heating and cooling,
municipal, fluid handling, and builder and industrial supplies. Some of
their 20 locations feature Gerhards, First Supply Showroom, the largest and
most versatile kitchen and bath showplace in the Midwest.
“We were amazed with the exposure that First Supply received last year with
this event,” Michael Miller, First Supply General Manager stated.
“It's a privilege to be able to return with Roy for our second year in a row
to help sponsor this great event."
General admission tickets will be on sale at the RK Race Promotions office,
located next to the Village Motel (101 Hwy 18) on the corner where Hwy 12
& 18 split entering Cambridge, about a quarter-mile east of the Matt
Kenseth Fan Club Headquarters. The office is open seven days a week
between the hours of 4-8 p.m. until further notice. An order form will be
available soon at www.mattkenseth.com.
General admission tickets are $25 for ages 11 and up and $10 for ages 10 and
under, or ages 18 and over can purchase an advance pit pass for $50. The
pit pass will also give you access to the grandstand area.
“I recently got the tickets and have them available now,” Kenseth
stated. “I wanted to make sure I have them now because this would make
a great holiday present for the local race fans.”
Madison International Speedway, the host facility, is located off of Hwy 138
between Oregon and Stoughton. The facility hosts its weekly Friday night
racing program between April and September on its famous half-mile oval and
its new quarter-mile oval. The track’s official website is www.madisoninternationalspeedway.com.
