debwill Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Shelma Walton, 210-218-7655 shelma@jsracingpromotions.com Rick Day joins Corpus Christi Speedway Staff Day assumes responsibility for race operations SAN ANTONIO, TX (July 27, 2007) – Rick Day has been added to the Operations Staff at Corpus Christi Speedway as Race Director, effective immediately. Corpus Christi Speedway was purchased earlier this week by Shelma Walton. Walton also owns J & S Racing Promotions, an established company that provides racing promotions and sponsorship services. Day joined the staff of J & S Racing Promotions in June 2007. Day will handle the race operations at the speedway – including the supervision of all speedway officials and the administration of all technical race operations. Day was the former General Manager and President at San Antonio Speedway and also managed all three United States Racing Association touring series – the USRA Super Late Model Series, the USRA Modified Series and the USRA Truck Series. James Beasley, Executive Director of Corpus Christi Speedway and J & S Racing Promotions, feels that Day’s experience will be a big asset to the speedway. Beasley stated, “Although he’s only been in Texas for less than two years, he’s already gained the respect of the drivers, officials and race teams. I know he’ll do well in this position.” Day will be a part of the racing action next Saturday, August 4, at Corpus Christi Speedway. The race is being billed as the First Annual, “Honoring the Yocum’s Night at the Races.” It will be a yearly event to honor the previous speedway owners, Donald and Carol Yocum.

tps48 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 The track may be half the size, but the commute is a lot farther! Plus I'll bet there's no hazard pay for when OT drops in to see you and tell you racing stories when you could be eating lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tps48 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Kevin, was 94 the last time you raced with us? Are you still eligible for rookie of the year? You dont have OT working on your car, do you? On second thought he may be a little faster at getting a car ready to race! I just like picken on Ol Towmader cause its so easy. I dont mind the haul to CC as long as the AC in my truck works. By the way, did it rain down there this evening? It was hot & sunny in SA today.

It included demo derby, backwards races, the 360 race, football, boat races and a lot I can't remember. It was an awesome night. Darin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
