FIRST SUPPLY ALL-STAR CHALLENGE RETURNS TO MIS IN 2007
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.
