Bayou Clash To Include Stars Autograph Session
Sturgeon Bay, WI - September 15, 2005 - An autograph session featuring the
"Wisconsin Stars of Boone" will be part of the pre-race activities
prior to the Bayou Clash Saturday night September 17 at the Potawatomi
Thunderhill Raceway in Sturgeon Bay.
The Clash, with major sponsorship from Budweiser, S&B Trailers and Kelsey
Racing, is the Raceway's final racing program of the year. Proceeds will
be donated to the Brett Favre Fourward Foundation to aid in disaster relief
efforts in the Gulf Coast.
All six regular divisions will be in action: IMCA-style Modifieds, Stock
Cars and Hobby Stocks, as well as the Street Stocks, ThunderBombs, and Sport
4s. The Modifieds will race for a top prize of $1,000, with the Stock
Car winner taking home $500. Racing begins at 6:00PM. Sturgeon Bay
track rules will apply for all divisions.
The night's festivities will begin with an autograph session featuring
recently crowned IMCA Super National Champion Benji Lacrosse of
Luxemburg. Joining Lacrosse for the session will be Sean Jerovetz of
Little Suamico, Jay Matthias of DePere and 2005 Modified track champ Todd Dart
of Algoma. Jerovetz and Matthias were also part of the 33 car starting
field for the Super National Modified finale last weekend in Boone, IA.
Dart placed third in the prestigious Efkamp Memorial Race of Champions, a
special event limited to track champion drivers from around the country.
The four drivers will be signing special Super National collector cards of the
four drivers designed and donated by Dan and Mary Lewis of DLP
Promotions. The cards will be distributed to fans at no charge; however,
free will cash donations to the Foundation are encouraged.
The session is slated to run from 4:30PM - 5:30PM, giving fans a chance to
congratulate the drivers and see Lacrosse's huge Super National trophy.
Along with the money generated through the autograph session, all grandstand
revenue, concessions and apparel sales will be donated. According to track
promoter Bryan "Woody" Wodack, many race teams are eager to join the
effort.
"Several teams have already told me that they intend to donate at least a
portion of their winnings to the Foundation," he said. "I know
of one team challenging their sponsors to donate as well. This certainly
isn't mandatory, but we really appreciate the generosity of the teams that are
doing this."
Admission for the Clash is $10.00, with fans 12 and under admitted free when
accompanied by an adult.
The Potawatomi Thunderhill Raceway is located at the John Miles County Park
(the Door County Fairgrounds) on Sturgeon Bay's east side. For more
