Lee, NH (June 15, 2009) — It has become an annual Lee USA Speedway event
that is hugely popular with fans young and old. Autograph Night, a track
annual meet and greet, is as popular with the drivers, as it is with fans.
"No matter what sport your into, it's always a cool thing to meet your
favorite competitor," said track manager Bob Watson.
"We are able to close down the track for a period of time and let the fans
have at it. They come out onto the speedway. It's fun to watch the kids go
around from car to car collecting pictures, autographs, having their photo
taken with their favorites. The drivers like it too. They giveaway candy,
pictures, items that represent their sponsors, and they answer questions.
Sometimes the Dad's look as eager as the children do," Watson concluded.
On the speedway, the tracks weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series will be
in competition. The E-Keys 4-Cars Late Models, Prime Storage Late Model
Sportsman, Hobby Stocks, David's Race Cars & Components Roadrunners, and
American Race Parts Iron-Man, will all see action. They'll be joined by the
visiting PASS Modifieds for round two of the Twin State PASS Modified
Series. The first event saw a very competitive race at Lee.
Postponed last week, The American Red Cross will be on hand for their annual
blood drive. Blood Donor hours are 1:30 PM to 6:00 PM on the speedway
grounds. A blood donor card or picture ID must be presented to donate.
Refreshments will be served.
The Red Cross provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply. The need
for blood is constant – every two seconds somebody in the nation needs
blood. Fans that donate blood will be admitted free and their names will be
entered into a special drawing for Boston Red Sox tickets and t-shirts.
Looking ahead, Lee will host the Northeastern Midget Association on Friday
night June 26, a gigantic Independence Day holiday weekend special with the
seacoast area's only appearance of the "Extreme Monster Truck" show on both
July 3 & 4, The True Value Modified Racing Series and the "Port City 100"
presented by Laticrete, July 10, and the return of the PASS Pro All-Star
Series and the "Bastille 200" on Tuesday July 14.
Friday nights racing at the family friendly Rte 125 oval begins at 7:15 PM
