Tony Stewart’s Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Show Car will be featured at PIR this Friday, June 6 during the six-division racing program. Fans will have a chance to get an “up close and personal” look at an actual Sprint Cup racecar piloted by former champion and PIR business partner, Tony Stewart. Families are urged to bring their cameras to get pictures of the famous number 20.

On the track, it will be heats and features for the UMP Late Models, Crate (Pro) Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks, and 4-cylinder Warriors. The UMP divisions will be joined by the Vintage Racers.

In the Crate Late Model division, Tait Davenport of Paducah, the current point leader, will be looking for an unprecedented sixth win in a row. Clifty’s Randle Sweeney will be in search of his fifth consecutive Modified checkered flag.

Friday will be Budweiser Night at PIR. Employees and guests of Paducah’s Golden Eagle Distributing will be on hand to add an extra element of fun to the racing program.

In addition to the PIR appearance of the Stewart Show Car, fans will be able to get an earlier look at the Toyota racer at Subway on Clarks River Road in Paducah Friday from 1 to 3:30 PM. Subway personnel will photograph visitors with the Show Car. In addition, everyone attending will receive a certificate for a free cookie on a return visit. Stewart is sponsored nationally by Subway.

NASCAR Stars Dale Earnhardt, Jr, Ken Schrader, and Promoter Bob Sargent purchased Paducah International Raceway in November of 2005. Two-time NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart joined the trio of co-owners as a partner in September of 2006. In 2008 the 3/8th mile high-banked oval will host several high profile events including three NASCAR Nights of Stars, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, the USA World 50, and the Tri-Track Challenge. PIR races every Friday night and is located off Interstate 24 at exit 11 in Paducah, Kentucky. For more information call the PIR hotline at (270) 448-4PIR or the track at (270) 898-SHOW (7469).
