Summit Motorsports Park Announces New Sponsorship: Mickey Mart Rewards Super Chevy Show Presented by Donald M. Graham & Associates

May 27, 2010 (Norwalk, Ohio) The Mickey Mart Rewards Super Chevy Show Presented by Donald M. Graham & Associates will be held June 11-13 at Summit Motorsports Park.

This year many Chevrolet enthusiasts have a special anticipation for the Super Chevy Show because the series, celebrating its 30th year, is under new ownership that has committed to revitalizing the Super Chevy Shows with new features and more entertainment. Previous Super Chevy Shows this year have had high car counts and fan attendance. The Mickey Mart Rewards Super Chevy Show Presented by Donald M. Graham & Associates in Norwalk is the fourth of a 10-event series in 2010.

The Mickey Mart Rewards Super Chevy Show Presented by Donald M. Graham & Associates features eight nostalgia Fuel Altered race cars that run on nitromethane. This class of race car, a throw back to the 1960s, runs at over 220 mph in the quarter mile. The cars have a short wheelbase, resulting in a hard-to-handle vehicle that is ban ned from competition in other sanctioning bodies.

In addition, the Super Chevy Show will include a judged car show, the Shoebox Shootout featuring 1960 and older full-body Chevy cars in quarter-mile drag racing, a car corral, sportsman drag racing, a swap meet and the Performance and Restoration Marketplace. Les Shockley will be driving his twin-jet powered 1957 Chevrolet truck, named Super Shockwave.

Gates open at 8:00 am each of the three days. Adult spectator tickets are $12 Friday, $20 for Saturday or Sunday, or $40 for a three-day pass. Children six to 12 years of age are $5 per day or $10 for a three-day pass. Children five and under are free. The Mickey Mart Rewards Super Chevy Show Presented by Donald M. Graham & Associates is the fourth of a 10-event series in 2010.

Mickey Mart Foodstores is a chain of convenience stores throughout northern Ohio, selling gasoline, food and other convenience items all at competitive prices. They’re an outlet for the Ohio Lottery. Mickey Mart is also the Official Convenient Store of Summit Motorsports Park.
