The Texas Super Racing Series (TSRS), sponsors of the Winston Cup Ticket

giveaway that's been promoted on KVET-AM 1300, The Zone, announced they will

hold the drawing for the 2 Winston Cup Tickets for the Samsung/Radio Shack

Austin on Friday, March 21 at 12:30 p.m., despite the fact that TSRS

cancelled its Event Day with the media.

Earlier today, officials of TSRS announced that they were cancelling their

Event Day tomorrow because of the impact and importance of the war in Iraq.

Chuck Licata, host of The Motorsports Zone and TSRS media director, will

be at Chisolm Trail Icehouse and Bar-B-Q, located at Hwy. 183 at the

Spicewood Springs exit, to do the drawing. The winner of the drawing need

not be present to win.
