VCS May 25th American Modified Series Kim Henderson Memorial Race Lap Sponsor info.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MAY 14, 2014
MAY 25TH KIM HENDERSON MEMORIAL LAP SPONSORSHIP UPDATE. (SEE LIST AT BOTTOM)

Lap sponsors are now being sought for the May 25th $3,000 to win Inaugural Kim Henderson Memorial Feature race featuring the Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series. The goal is to raise an additional $2,000 in lap sponsorship to add to the Feature winner's purse to make this a $5,000 to win event. Each Feature lap can be sponsored at $50 per lap in honor of a person of the sponsor's choice. Perhaps someone who was involved at Vermilion County Speedway, and has since passed, or a person who was an auto racing enthusiast.

If all 40 laps can be filled with lap sponsors, the winner of the Inaugural Kim Henderson Memorial would take home $5,000. Each lap sponsor will be included in the race night handout to be given out at the main gate, and each lap sponsor will be given recognition by our announcer during the evening. All sponsorship money is guaranteed to be paid out for this event. In the case that the event cannot be completed...all money will be refunded in whole to each lap sponsor.

Lap sponsorship money can be dropped off in the form of a check or cash at the following location:

ALL SOURCE SERVICES
12078 US Route 150 (Just south of I-74 on US 150)
Oakwood, IL
61858

An arrangement can be made to pick up lap sponsor money by calling Bryan Clendenen at 217-918-9095, or Missy Kiger at 765-401-4842.

Thank you in advance!

MORE ABOUT THIS EVENT.

The staff at VCS was deeply saddened by the sudden passing of long time track supporter Mr. Kim Henderson of Danville, IL. Kim had been actively involved in improving and maintaining the speedway for many years. Much of what you see today, as far as improvements to the facility go, are thanks in part to the countless hours of his volunteer efforts. He was a very dear friend to the speedway and the racing community. He will be dearly missed.

Although many of us are still with heavy heart from the passing of our friend, our thoughts have turned to the future and how we can pay tribute to a man that gave so much to the racing community. On behalf of the Vermilion County Speedway, MMP Promotions would like to announce the running of the “Kim Henderson Memorial” scheduled for Sunday, May 25, 2014. This race will run in conjunction with the Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series visiting Farmer City Raceway on Friday, May 23, and Fairbury American Legion Speedway on May 24th. The event will pay a minimum of $3000.00 to win, but with sponsorship in the works, could pay as much as $5000 to win.

VCS promoters Brad Key and Bryan Clendenen, are elated by the opportunity to have one the biggest modified races in the Midwest.
“It’s bittersweet for us. We have lost a racing brother, but now we have a way to pay tribute to a great man. We are just thrilled to have this opportunity to work with the Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series. They have a great organization that will bring many of the best modified racers in the country to VCS. We know Kim will be watching over us, so we will do everything we can to pay tribute to him and make this one of the best modified events of the year.”
Kim Henderson Memorial Lap Sponsors as of 1PM May 14th.
