D’ANGELOS TO SPONSOR 3-RACE SERIES AT
VENTURA RACEWAY
|
OXNARD,
Calif. (Feb. 21, 2008) – Ventura Raceway
and D’Angelos Automotive and Industrial
Finishes announced today a special
agreement under which D’Angelos will
sponsor a special series of races at the
track.
The D’Angelos Sprint Car Shootout will
be a three-race series for Ventura
Racing Association sprint car teams. The
program will award $2,000 to the winner
of each race and an additional $500 for
the top points-earner during the three
races.
“This is tremendous news for our
racers,” said Raceway promoter Jim
Naylor. “It means extra money in the
prize purse. D’Angelos has been part of
Ventura Raceway for about 20 years and
now they have their own series.”
The D’Angelos Sprint Car Shootout will
be part of the regularly scheduled VRA
programs of April 26, August 30 and Oct.
18.
“We know that Jim Naylor has a positive
thing going out there and this is a
great way to be a part of it,” said Mark
DeAngelos. “A lot of our clients are
racing-oriented. We’re going to
contribute to the purse and that’s going
to draw a lot of drivers.”
Naylor said nearly one hundred sprint
car drivers earned VRA points in 2007
and he predicted there will be more in
2008.
“This announcement proves something I’ve
always believed,” Naylor said. “Any time
you increase the participation of the
local automotive sector, especially a
company of the caliber of D’Angelos, in
the operation of a raceway, the results
are good for the track, the drivers and
the fans.”
D’Angelos said his company is a major
distributor for Dupont, which has a
major investment in racing.
D’Angelos Automotive and Industrial
Finishes is based in Oxnard, but has
stores and warehouses in Southern
California, Arizona and Nevada. The
company was founded in 1956 and remains
family-owned. More information is
