February 26/08: The upcoming CPT Racing Experience will be offering fans the chance to win Terrace Club tickets to the Pennsylvania 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Pocono Raceway. The Pennsylvania 500, one of two NASCAR Sprint Cup Races at Pocono Raceway this year, is Sunday, August 3, 2008. The CPT Racing Experience, an all-new event in the Southwestern Ontario market, is March 15 & 16 at the London Convention Centre.
 
“We’re excited not only to promote the great facilities and people at Pocono, but to provide our guests with the chance to experience an event there,” said Kevin Bulmer of CPT Entertainment Inc. “Pocono Raceway is in an ideal location for fans in this area to plan a weekend in the summer, go enjoy a race and take in the sites nearby. I’ve worked with people who have visited Pocono and they rave about the facility, the racing and the hospitality.”
 
Long recognized as one of NASCAR’s most competitive and fastest speedways, Pocono Raceway is a unique 2.5-mile track nestled in the heart of the Pocono Mountain resort area. It is located almost exactly 90 miles from both New York City and Philadelphia and is only a 7.5-hour (approximate) drive from London, Ontario.
 
The tickets being offered as part of the CPT Racing Experience will truly give fans an up-close and comfortable look at the sights and sounds of NASCAR racing at Pocono Raceway. Winners will enjoy Reserved Seats for the race, a continental breakfast, buffet lunch including beverages, pre-race Pit and Paddock Access (at designated times) and use of private restrooms.
 
Fans will have a chance to win the tickets in a number of ways at the CPT Racing Experience. One pair will be used to reward a top participant in the weekend’s “Pit Stop Challenge” sponsored by 103.9 The Hawk. Another pair will be awarded as a prize drawn from all who respond to the touch screen feedback surveys located at the main entrance to the show hall. Yet another pair of tickets will be drawn at large ensuring everyone who attends the event has a chance to win.
 
“This event is designed to be an experience,” said Bulmer, “so we’d like to see our guests really engaged, taking part in all the fun things to do and giving us feedback on how we can build the event and make it bigger and better for next year. We hope prizes like this will help motivate some people to bring their kids out and have some fun with us.”
