H&H MOTORSPORTS, KQW, AND GILMORE FLOORS PARTNER TO PRESENT SECOND SEASON OF “TURN 5” FOR DRIVERS AND FANS

December 4, 2009 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



Franklin PA…Tri-City Speedway’s popular pre-race radio show, “Turn 5”, returns to the fast half-mile track for the 2010 race season with help from first-time track sponsor, Gilmore Floors.



Today, Gilmore Floors, a licensed contractor for commercial and residential properties serving the Western PA area, was announced as the Official 2010 Sponsor of the popular KQW 96.3FM pre-race radio show, “Turn 5” for its second season at the track and on-air.



“Turn 5” began as an idea at the beginning of the 2009 race season between Tri-City Speedway owner, Rich Hetrick and KQW Sports Director, Joe Lodanosky. The FM show concentrates on entertaining race fans with up-close and personal driver interviews and getting the drivers publicity and airtime to talk about their rivals, point standings, sponsors, and dirt track racing in general.



“The original idea was to have a pre-race show a few times at the track to get drivers on the air and their voices into the stands,” said H&H Motorsports owner Rich Hetrick. The positive responses from the drivers, sponsors, and the fans were so significant that H&H and KQW decided to host the show at the track every racing Sunday.



With captivating co-hosts Joe Lodanosky, Sports Director at KQW, and Brian Spaid, Track Announcer at Tri-City Speedway, “Turn 5” was a hit the first night it aired. “It’s a hit not only on air, but in the grandstands and pit area at the track as well. It’s the unique combination of personalities between Joe, Brian, and the drivers that keep the crowd listening and the audience tuning in,” said Hetrick.



“Turn 5” is an original and important asset to Tri-City Speedway. H&H is pleased to welcome Gilmore Floors into the action.
