The 2010 racing season at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway is now complete. As the days get shorter and our thoughts turn to tree trimming and holiday gatherings the staff and management of PPMS would like to extend a sincere "Thank you" to the competitors, marketing partners, car owners and race fans who supported the speedway in 2010.

There may only be a few teams that are able to enjoy the spotlight in victory lane each Saturday night but in our eyes, every competitor is a winner. In 2010, more than 225 drivers competed in the events that were held at "Dirt's Monster Half Mile." Competitors, both male and female, travelled the highways from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland to Imperial, PA to provide our fans with exciting racing action. The countless hours that each of you spend in the garage preparing for competition are often overlooked; we sincerely appreciate your commitment to the sport/hobby that we all love and we applaud you for it. In addition, the sacrifices that each of your families and friends make as they assist in your quest for that elusive Checkered Flag are the bonds that make racing friendships even stronger. "Thank You" for your dedication!!

We also extend a special "Thank You" to all of the race fans who attended our events this summer. As we face alarming high unemployment rates and rising gas prices, we appreciate your patronage of PPMS and we strive to provide you with an action packed and affordable racing program each week. We hope that you will return to our facility often and ask that you tell your friends and neighbors about the great racing action that takes place in nearby Imperial, PA. "Thank You" for your support.

Just as the competitors and fans have other options on where they spend their hard earned dollars; we recognize that our marketing partners and sponsors have multiple avenues in which to spend their advertising dollars. We at PPMS would like to offer each of you a sincere "Thank You" for making our facility a part of your marketing strategy. Your support of the speedway is a very affordable and cost effective marketing partnership that places your name before several thousand potential consumers each week. Your support of Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway not only propels your firm to the forefront but it also provides the speedway with the opportunity to introduce your employees and business associates to the excitement of short track auto racing. We "Thank You" for utilizing PPMS in your marketing campaigns and we look forward to working with you in the future.

The speedway's employees are also an integral part of Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. Their commitment to our speedway, not only on race day, but also throughout the year, is to be commended. In addition to the time, they spend at the speedway on race day there are countless hours throughout the year that these individuals give of their time in support of local auto racing. Whether it be rules meetings, schedules suggestions or changes in the concession menu, there is much work that goes on behind the scenes as we strive to improve the weekly program at "Dirt's Monster Half Mile." We recognize that at times these positions can be quite stressful and we sincerely thank you for all you do as a member of the PPMS Family.

We also recognize the importance of improving our program and we welcome your suggestions, comments and constructive criticism. Remember that your suggestions enabled us to offer a new and improved version of the Tri-Star Pittsburgher which saw the highest attendance of the event since 2002.
