Spokane added to Super Chevy Show schedule in 2011


KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Sept. 30) – The popular Super Chevy Show, which concludes its 30th anniversary season near Phoenix on Oct. 22-24, will be adding some new venues in 2011. The national touring series has confirmed that it will add the Northwest to its schedule for next season. Charlie Allen, track operator of Firebird International Raceway near Phoenix, and now Spokane County Raceway in Airway Heights, Wash., announced this week that Washington facility will host a Super Chevy event in 2011. Spokane County Raceway is a NHRA-sanctioned track which held a divisional event in July.

Allen, along with co-promoter Ron Hodgson, took over operation of Spokane County Raceway earlier this year. The track has received numerous improvements and upgrades in recent years and is considered to be a great fit for the Super Chevy Show, which this season visited 10 facilities in the West, Midwest, Northeast and South. The visit to the Northwest is expected to enhance the series for participants, fans, sponsors, and readers of Super Chevy magazine. "As a host of the first ever Super Chevy Show in history, held at the Orange County International in Southern California, I can’t tell you how excited we are to host the 30th anniversary season finale in Phoenix next month, and then begin preparing for the event next summer in Spokane, " Allen said. "I have seen the series go through a lot of changes over the decades, and am glad to be a part of the new ownership group and see it experiencing the growth we’ve had at our most recent events in Denver, Houston, and Bristol."

The complete 2011 Super Chevy Show schedule will be released in the coming weeks. Listed below are the details for the final event of the 2010 Super Chevy Show season.
