FASTRAK unveils TWO ‘Rookie of the Year’ Programs for 2010
City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series
Old Man’s Garage.com Southeastern Touring Series
Carnesville, GA (Mar-24) The FASTRAK Racing Series has unveiled two ‘Rookie of the Year’ programs for the 2010 season set to get underway the first weekend in April. FASTRAK will crown a national Rookie of the Year in the City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series as well as a Rookie of the Year in the Old Man’s Garage.com Southeastern Touring Series.
“We’ve been fortunate in that over the winter months, there has been so much interest in the FASTRAK Racing Series” said FASTRAK’s Michael Hurley “we began to take notice of the vast number of newcomers into the series in 2010. The number of drivers registering to be a part of the City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series and the Old Man’s Garage.com Southeastern Touring Series has outpaced recent years to this point so Stan felt as though it was time to adopt a program where we could recognize such a large group of newcomers into our sport exclusively”
In addition, the FASTRAK Racing Series will recognize both the runner up and third place finishing rookie contenders in both the City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series as well as the Old Man’s Garage.com Southeastern Touring Series where the winners in each will be awarded $1000 in addition to a specially constructed trophy and an embroidered leather jacket. Each runner up will be awarded $500 and third place $250.
A driver competing for Rookie of the Year in the Old Man’s Garage.com Southeastern Touring Series is eligible to compete for City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series ‘Rookie of the Year’ as well.
The 2010 Rookie of the Year in City Chevrolet National Weekly Racing Series will be based on a driver’s best 15 finishes.
The Rookie of the Year in the Old Man’s Garage.com Southeastern Touring Series will be based on total points accumulation. BUT any eligible rookie driver who competes in ALL events which make up the 2010 Old Man’s Garage Southeastern Touring Series schedule will be awarded 10 additional points at the conclusion of the season which could well be the difference maker.
A major sponsor announcement is forthcoming in relation to both of these exciting Rookie of the Year programs.
