CRA Super Series Voted Best Tour in Speed 51 Short Track Awards

Salem, IN (February 25, 2010) – The CRA Super Series was voted the Best Tour Award in the Speed 51 Short Track Awards that were recently conducted by Speed 51.com, one of the leading short track web sites in the country. Speed51.com had fans and racers from all over the country vote on a broad range of awards the past couple of months through their web site and announced the first half of those award winners on last nights 51 Radio Show broadcasted live on RaceTalkRadio.com. The second half of the award results will be announced on next Tuesday nights show.

“We are very proud to receive this award,” remarked R.J. Scott, Managing Partner of Champion Racing Association. “It means a lot when you have people from all over the country vote on awards like this and our series is recognized as the best. I want to thank all our loyal fans, racers and sponsors for their support. I look forward to another great season of CRA Super Series racing in 2010!”

A quote from the Speed 51 story on the results read, “Fans are always loyal to ‘their’ short track tour and lately more and more of those fans have been drawn to the CRA Super Series. The CRA is one of several Super Late Model tours across the country that are enjoying relative success right now in down economic times. Fans across the Midwest have grown to enjoy watching their tourers like Johnny VanDoorn and Scott Hantz do battle with invaders like Kyle Busch in the big CRA shows. The series has even gotten involved with several large Southern events such as The Rattler and SpeedFest, to grow their fan base even more.”

“Wow, I was really surprised by the results,” remarked Glenn Luckett, CRA Super Series Director. “I knew that people from all over the country would be voting on these awards so I thought it would be tough for us to win that category. I want to thank everyone that voted for us and thank Speed 51 for doing such a great job of supporting and covering short track racing!”

The CRA Super Series just beat out the NASCAR Whelen Modified tour by less than four percentage points, which has a huge Northeast fan base. The ASA Midwest Series finished in third place in the voting.
