NASCAR SPEEDPARK SEVIERVILLE RAISES $1,000 FOR JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT OF EAST TENNESSEE DURING NASCAR SPEEDPARK DAY

December 11, 2006, Sevierville, Tenn Representatives from NASCAR SpeedPark today announced they raised $1,000 for Junior Achievement of East Tennessee during their inaugural NASCAR SpeedPark Day event held in September 2006.

Offering a variety of family activities, NASCAR SpeedPark Day featured a driver look-a-like contest, a corn-on-the-cob eating contest, face painting and photo opportunities with NASCAR SpeedPark's official mascot, Sparkie the Sparkplug. Guests were also invited to visit the NASCAR SpeedPark Day Pumpkin Patch where they could chose a pumpkin to decorate and take home as a NASCAR SpeedPark Day souvenir. A portion of the proceeds raised from this family friendly event were donated to the Junior Achievement of East Tennessee.

"Our inaugural NASCAR SpeedPark Day was a great success for both NASCAR SpeedPark as well as the Junior Achievement of East Tennessee," said Cort Templin, general manager of NASCAR SpeedPark Sevierville. "As an ongoing goal, we at NASCAR SpeedPark aim to help community organizations through a variety of fundraising endeavors. I look forward to next year's NASCAR SpeedPark Day to be even bigger as NASCAR SpeedPark continues to show its support for the East Tennessee community."

"We were honored to partner with such a fantastic family attraction such as NASCAR SpeedPark ," said Jan Kroll, special events administrator for Junior Achievement of East Tennessee. "Our goal is to instill positive values in children from around the world. Promoting family activity and fun through a fall festival event was an excellent promotion and we look forward to working with NASCAR SpeedPark again in the future."
