FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
No, Lernerville Speedway was not invited to the NCAA Tournament. But Lernerville Speedway does have ties to the NCAA tournament again this year, as for the 2nd consecutive season, the State University of New York at Albany won the America East Conference tournament procuring an automatic bid into the "Big Dance." Davey Bauman, son of the late David Bauman and grandson of the late Earl Bauman (both former track promoters), is a junior guard for the Great Danes.
As Davey represents the speedway on the hard court this weekend, the Lernerville Speedway will take center court at the Clearview Mall. Clearview Mall is located on Rt. 8 north of Butler and once again welcomes Lernerville Speedway cars, drivers, and fans to a 3 day car show.
Lernerville Speedway is bringing some "Action" back to its annual Clearview Mall Car Show, on Thursday March 15 - Saturday March 17, with the return of the “Best in Show” award and a new "Fan Favorite" award. The annual car show acts as a springboard for the 2007 racing season and allows teams to publicly display, for the first time, the fruit of winter’s labor, as well as their new sponsors, paint schemes, and equipment. Lernerville recognizes that many local drivers and owners spend a lot of money and countless hours getting their cars ready for the mall show. In recognition, we will once again honor the “Best in Show” for the best car from any of Lernerville's Fab Four racing divisions. In addition, the “Fan Favorite” awards will be given for each class that runs weekly shows at the speedway.
The “Best in Show” winner will be selected by a random panel of track officials and media members. In addition to the “Best in Show” award, fans will be able to vote for their “Fan Favorite” car for each of the “Fab Four” divisions. Voting will take place at the mall until closing on Friday Night. The “Fan Favorite” awards will be given to the top 3 cars in each division with the most votes not selected as “Best in Show”. Winners will be announced Saturday at 7:00 p.m. The “Best in Show” winner will be awarded a plaque and decals to display on their car for the 2007 racing season. “Best in Show” and “Fan Favorite” winners will also be recognized on our website, in various print media, and by the track announcers during the 2007 racing season.
Also on tap during the car show weekend are autograph sessions with the 2006 Budweiser Point Fund Track Champions. 2006 Friedman's Supermarkets Late Models Champion Lynn Geisler will be signing autographs Friday evening from 7-8 p.m. 2006 Ferrante Motor Cars Modifieds Champion Kevin Bolland and 2006 Advance Auto Parts Pure Stocks Champion Butch Lambert will sign autographs Saturday evening 7-8 p.m. 2006 Commercial Truck & Trailer Sprints Track Champion Kevin Schaeffer plans on racing at Lincoln and Williams Grove this weekend, but may make an appearance depending on the weather. Driver appearances and autograph times are subject to change.
Also new to the Clearview Mall Car Show will be a sign up for the new “Fan of the Week” promotion. Fans will be able to sign up for the promotion during the car show and throughout the season. The winner from car show entries will be drawn @ 7 p.m and will be the “Fan of the Week” for opening night. Winners will receive a Lernerville T-Shirt or Hat, a meal voucher or free pizza, 2 tickets to a future "Fab Four" racing event, a tour of the press box, and a trip to victory lane for the first feature of the night. Everyone who signs up for “Fan of the Week” will be entered to win 2 tickets to the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup XIV or 4 tickets to the final race of the season, the Advance Auto Parts Autumn-Motive Fest on September 14th & 15th.

For the first time this year, those signing up during the car show will receive a $5 discount off the $20 membership fee.

Last but certainly not least, sign up sheets will be available to join the "Lernerville Pearl" team for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Mother's Day Morning, May 13, 2007. The team is named in honor of Pearl Swartzlander, (wife of Dick, mother of Dan, and aunt of PR Director Eric Westendorf), who succumbed to breast cancer in 2001.
