BIG MONEY WINNER: Late-model driver Jimmy Owens romped from 19th on the grid to win The Dream late-model race and its $100,000 top prize Saturday night at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway. The Prelude to The Dream all-star race for charity scheduled earlier in the week was rained out and reset for September 9.

TWO-BY-TWO: NASCAR implemented double-file restarts for the Sprint Cup Series Sunday at Pocono Raceway and by all accounts the procedure added to the show. Tony Stewart won the event, his first points victory as a team owner.

EXCELLENCE:
National Speed Sport News Editor Chris Economaki was honored with the Pocono Raceway Bill France Award of Excellence.

RETURNING: Dirt-late-model driver Tim McCreadie, who was injured in the Chili Bowl in January, is planning a return to the cockpit for the June 18 World of Outlaws Late Model Series race at Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario.

A DEAL:
Tomas Scheckter has reached an agreement to drive the No. 43 Indy car for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing in all but three of the remaining IRL IndyCar Series events this season.

STILL ON TOP:
Formula One point-leader Jenson Button won the Grand Prix of Turkey for his sixth triumph in seven races this season. As a result, he remains atop the National Speed Sport News Power Rankings, which rates drivers from all auto-racing disciplines. The rankings appear weekly in America’s Motorsports Authority.

SEMA is inviting car buffs and collectors to join in raising money for two children's charities by registering their vehicle(s) in the inaugural SEMA Show 'N Shine car show in Pasadena, California, on Saturday, August 1, 2009.

"From hot rods to racing-tuned torque monsters, and everything in between, our goal is to bring together some amazing vehicles and create a spectacular event," said Mike Spagnola, chairman of the SEMA Show 'N Shine car show. "We're encouraging all enthusiasts to register their vehicles. There will also be food, live music and plenty of activities for the kids, so it will be a great family affair. We'd really like this enthusiast car show to become the showcase event of the summer and grow each year so we can raise more money for two deserving children's charities."

Chip Foose, award-winning automotive designer and fabricator, and host of TLC's "Overhaulin'" is Grand Marshall of the show. All vehicle registrants will receive a free T-shirt designed and autographed by Foose. Trophies will be awarded for Best Engine, Best Interior, Best in Show and People's Choice. The winner of the People's Choice Award will have an opportunity to attend the trade-only SEMA Show in November, with free hotel accommodations in Las Vegas.

The cost to enter a vehicle into the car show is $75 per vehicle. Pre-registration to enter a vehicle(s) is available online at: www.sema.org/carshow. Space is limited and will be assigned as available, until 5:00 p.m. Friday, July 31. Vehicle move-in to the show hall will begin at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 1.

Tickets will be available at the event for spectators and car fans who wish to attend the car show. Admission is $5 for adults. Kids 12 and under get in free. Proceeds from the SEMA Show 'N Shine Car Show will benefit SEMA's two chosen charities, Childhelp and Victory Junction Gang Camp. A promotional flyer for the SEMA Show ‘N Shine was created to help promote the event. Download the flyer and distribute it at your local car shows and help spread the word.

Additional details are available from SEMA at 909/396-0289, ext. 132.
