Volunteer Speedway 'Get Wrapped! - Primetime Designs Challenge' to pay $1,000 bonus
 
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Primetime Designs owner Dean Jones is proud to announce the Get Wrapped! - Primetime Designs Challenge for all "Friday Night Fights" racing programs at Volunteer Speedway throughout the 2009 racing season. All Friday Night Fights "TSC Cars" Super Late Model 50-lap events will pay $3,000-to-win and $300-to-start.
 
The Get Wrapped! - Primetime Designs Challenge will pay a $1,000 bonus to any Late Model racer ... in "TSC Cars" Super Late Model, Fastrak Racing Series-sanctioned Pro Late Model and Steel-Head Late Model, if they can win three consecutive Friday Night Fights feature events (bonus only counts for Friday Night Fights races).
 
This is not a one-time bonus payout of $1,000; say for example, should three separate drivers (in each Late Model class) win three consecutive Friday Night Fights feature events, Primetime Designs will pay $3,000 in bonus money. The Get Wrapped! - Primetime Designs Challenge would then begin all over, and the next time three consecutive Late Model races were won, another $1,000 bonus will be paid.
 
Not only will Late Model racers be competing for the Get Wrapped! - Primetime Designs Challenge, if any "McDonald's" Hobby Stock driver wins three consecutive races throughout the season, they will be awarded a side body-wrap for their race car, a roof number and driver name for the 2010 racing season.
 
"I've been involved working around racing since a very young age, with my father racing and I also raced for a while too," said Primetime Designs owner Dean Jones. "Being from Indiana, I moved to North Carolina back in the '80s to work for a NASCAR operation. I also began my graphics and lettering business on the side. I've lettered local short-track asphalt and dirt cars, all the way up to NASCAR Cup, Nationwide and Truck rides. I guess you could say 'I've done it all' when it comes to lettering race cars.
 
"But here at Primetime Designs, my real passion is the local racer. So in recent years we've concentrated our efforts into giving our customers the best race car graphics on the market at a price the local racer can afford. Being the official souvenir provider at Volunteer Speedway for the past decade, while also handling all signage at the track, I really like everyone (drivers, race teams and fans) involved at 'The Gap' and I want to give back. The 'Get Wrapped! - Primetime Designs Challenge' will pay any Super Late Model, Pro Late Model or Steel-Head Late Model competitor a $1,000 bonus if any driver can win three consecutive 'Friday Night Fights' feature events. And the Hobby Stock drivers are not being left out, either. They will have the opportunity to win a body-wrap. There's the possibility several thousand dollars could be paid in total bonus money to Late Model competitors should different drivers be able to win three consecutive races. I hope the bonus money might add a little extra excitement to the 'Friday Night Fights' racing programs."
 
Primetime Designs has provided innovative race car decals and graphic applications along with high-quality customer service to clients in the Southeast and nationally since 1983. They can help your race team with anything from the simplest cut vinyl race car lettering to spectacular full-color race car wrap packages.
