KING OF SPRINT WEEK: Tim Shaffer may have won three events during the 28th annual O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions Ohio Sprint Speedweek, but 18-year-old David Gravel walked away with the overall crown Sunday at Fremont Speedway.
TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN: Nobuhiro Tajima claimed the overall and unlimited class titles for the fifth-straight year during the 88th annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
BIG MONEY: Shane Clanton bagged a $30,500 payday with his victory in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania, Saturday.
STILL CERTIFIED: Impact Racing won a temporary injunction against the SFI Foundation last week, preventing SFI from decertifying its products made in 2009 and 2010 until Impact is given the chance “to be heard either in writing or by personal appearance.”
WELCOME BACK: The IZOD IndyCar Series confirmed its plans to return to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire, for the first time since 1998 Sunday. The series will return to the track July 30, 2011, as part of a three-year contract.
BUSTED: Two-time NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Randy LaJoie was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR last week after violating NASCAR’s substance-abuse policy. LaJoie was also suspended by ESPN, where he worked as analyst.
BANNED: US F1, which failed to field make the Formula One grid this year, has been “disqualified” by the FIA from taking part in any FIA-sanctioned competition. Team officials were also fined $382,000. The team recently sold most of its equipment via auction.
BIG WEEKEND: Not only did Greg Anderson pocket $50,000 for winning the K&N Horsepower Challenge event for Pro Stock teams, but he also won the overall Pro Stock crown during the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, to bag an extra $25,000 double-up bonus from the NHRA.
FACELIFT: Reports are circulating that current owners Handy Racing Promotions could sell the California-based Golden State Challenge Sprint Car Series to former racer Dan Simpson.

| Take advantage of multiple sponsorship and brand exposure opportunities at the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser, Pinewood Drag Races or the Show 'N Shine car show. |
Summer marks the specialty-equipment industry’s season of charitable giving, a generosity that annually raises more than $100,000 for children’s groups through the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser, Pinewood Drag Races and Show N’ Shine car show. This year’s events are scheduled July 23–24 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California.
These events and their beneficiaries—Childhelp and Victory Junction Gang Camp, two charities working to improve the lives of children—need your continued support! Consider signing your company on as a contributing sponsor to one of these worthwhile summer events; there are few better ways to highlight your brand while giving back to the community.
You can take advantage of opportunities for as little as $500 as a sponsor of goody bags given out at the Show ‘N Shine car show. Or go big with a title sponsorship of the Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser dinner, giving you two tables of 10 at the banquet in your preferred seating area, as well as your corporate name incorporated into the name of the event and a full-page acknowledgement in the Tribute Journal.
And there’s something for every company—and budget—in between, from Wine or Cocktail Hour Sponsor ($2,500) to the Pinewood Drag Races Silver Sponsorship ($1,000).
For more information, please visit the reservations and sponsorship page here or call Motor Media at 818/248-4449.
