FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MAY 17, 2014

MAY 25TH HENDERSON MEMORIAL UPDATE.

To the fans and supporters of Vermilion County Speedway,

Sincere gratitude to all those who have stepped forward with generous lap sponsor donations for the "Inaugural Kim Henderson Memorial" event. The staff at VCS and the Henderson family would like to personally thank everyone for the overwhelming support. All sponsorship laps for the 40 lap feature have been spoken for at this time, however there are still several fans that have offered to donate if additional laps were available. After discussions with AMS officials, the Henderson family and several of the lap sponsors, VCS is excited to announce an added bonus and format change to the evening's racing event.

To begin, VCS is adding a 20 lap non-qualifiers race for the top 20 non-qualifiers. This will allow all 20 drivers a second chance at UMP points for the evening and an additional chance at prize money. The 20 lap race will pay a minimum of $750 to win and $100 to start the race. Any race fans and supporters still wishing to become lap sponsors will be able to reserve a lap in this special added race that will be referred to as the “Francis Hathaway Tribute," in memory of this lifelong, dedicated VCS race fan.

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!

The second part the format change involves a slight restructuring of the purse. At the request of many of our kind contributors and
members of the Henderson family, it was decided that $1,000 of the lap sponsor money will go to the winner, and $1,000 will be distributed evenly among the Top 10 finishers. This should make for an extremely exciting event, from start to finish, and more rewarding for all those involved. Full purses will be posted soon.
