Contact Tom Ortman at [email protected], W: (248)486-3700, C: (734)245-1814 for rates and details. General Show Information Drivers’ Meeting: We will be addressing the crowd from the Main Stage at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday evening, June 10. Please join us as we hold the ONLY drivers’ meeting of the 2017 Power Tour. The meeting is not mandatory, but we highly recommend you attend. Event Hours (Daily Show) Saturday, June 10, Kickoff: 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Sunday thru Thursday: 12:00 noon to 7:00 pm Friday, June 16, Grand Finale: 12:00 noon to 8:00 pm No participants will be allowed into the show area before the listed start time. What goes on at the Daily Marquee?: Each day at the show you’ll see 1,000 to 3,000 local cars that have shown up to visit the Power Tour cars. There will be manufacturers set up showing off their latest parts and cars, autograph sessions with celebrities, giveaways at the main stage, and photo shoots with HOT ROD. There will be an autocross sponsored by Mothers on June 10 at Iowa Speedway. Drag racing fun runs will take place June 14 at Gateway Motorsports Park sponsored by QA1 and on June 15 at Lucas Oil Raceway, sponsored by Mothers. Each day the Dyno Challenge will be available for a fee to participants. Make the most of each Day on Hot Rod Power Tour, and please be sure to thank your Tour Sponsors. Autocross information: Visual safety inspection of participant vehicle before running the course (includes making sure tires are not bald and car is not leaking any fluids). Helmets are not required. Drag Race Fun Run information: Helmets will be required for anyone exceeding 13.99 in the quarter mile. Must bring own helmet. No rentals available. Doing the Long Haul?: If you plan to travel the entire Power Tour route as a Long Hauler, you are required to have your LONG HAULER credential time stamped each day of the tour starting on June 10 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO. Time stamp machines will be located at the main stage of each day’s venue. Long Haulers MUST pick up their credentials in Kansas City by 6pm, June 10, as registration will close to be ready for set-up on June 11 in Newton. Participants that do NOT have the LONG HAULER credential and are NOT going to all seven venues do NOT need to stamp their credentials. Again, be sure to remember to time- stamp your Long Hauler credential at the FAST main stage each day at each venue to certify you as a true Long Hauler! Directions: Tour directions will be available at http://www.hotrod.com/events/power-tour/ as well as printed on the Pocket Guide (directions/event schedule) available at registration and at the FAST Main Stage each day. Since we no longer have a morning drivers’ meeting, on the directions we have stated an intersection of where the odometer was tripped. You are not required to officially start at this intersection. If you end up leaving direct from your hotel, you will still be amongst many, many other participants. The directions/route provided is not mandatory. If you want to hit a local landmark, feel free to enjoy tourist attractions! You can jump off the route at any time. Remember, we bring thousands of hot rods onto the local roads. There WILL be traffic jams in the small towns. We can’t avoid traffic unless we have the tour go direct on the highway, but what fun would that be? Doing the Power Tour includes those roads that go through Middle America! Enjoy the scenery and the locals sitting at the side of the road enjoying the hot rods rolling on through! Be sure to wave back! Construction/Detours/LOST?: It is bound to happen….construction! Always pops up when we least expect it. Follow any posted detours. LOST? You won’t be the first! Even the Hot Rod staff has gotten lost. Consult an old school map, the new school map (smart phone) or pull into a local business for assistance. The locals love to assist! Gas Stops: There will not be “official” gas stops listed in the driving directions. We do drive many two-lane roads where towns can be anywhere from 20 or 30 miles apart. If you are running low, don’t push it. Get gas in one of the little towns. Mechanical Problems: Stuff happens when you least expect it or are “in the middle of nowhere.” Join up with another participant, or tour buddy, at your first Cruise Night, exchange cell phone numbers if possible, and keep an eye on each other while driving from one city to the next.

    HONDA INDY GRAND PRIX OF ALABAMA TO TAKE PLACE APRIL 5-7, 2019 INDYCAR ANNOUNCES 17-RACE SCHEDULE (Sept. 4, 2018) – INDYCAR released its 2019 schedule today featuring 17 events, a newly announced race and a new event finale. A focal point for INDYCAR has been maintaining date equity with racetracks. The 2019 IndyCar Series schedule accomplishes that with a pair of minor exceptions for good reason: • Barber Motorsports Park’s event shifts two weeks forward to Sunday, April 7. That early April date was the slot that the scenic permanent road course in Birmingham, Alabama, held on the schedule for the first four years of its nine-year run to date; • Iowa Speedway returns to a night race at the overwhelming request of fans on Saturday, July 20. It moves back on the calendar by two weeks. Next year’s IndyCar Series race will be the 13th on the bullring oval in Newton, Iowa. The complete 2019 IndyCar Series schedule is as follows: March 10: Streets of St. Petersburg, Florida March 24: Circuit of the Americas, Austin, Texas April 7: Barber Motorsports Park, Birmingham, Alabama April 14: Streets of Long Beach, California May 11: INDYCAR Grand Prix, Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course May 26: 103rd Indianapolis 500, Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval June 1: Streets of Detroit, Race 1, Detroit, Michigan June 2: Streets of Detroit, Race 2, Detroit, Michigan June 8: Texas Motor Speedway, Fort Worth, Texas* June 23: Road America, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin July 14: Streets of Toronto, Canada July 20: Iowa Speedway, Newton, Iowa* July 28: Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Lexington, Ohio Aug.

  • With Five Winners in the First Six Races the Rising
    WITH FIVE WINNERS IN THE FIRST SIX RACES THE RISING STARS OF THE STAR MAZDA CHAMPIONSHIP TAKE THEIR RED-HOT CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE TO THE IOWA SPEEDWAY FOR 100 LAPS UNDER THE LIGHTS IN FRIDAY'S FIRST ANNUAL PIZZA RANCH 100 Iowa Speedway (July 7, 2009) – The battle for supremacy in the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear is typically hot and fast, but this year, with five winners in the first six races, the competition is unusually fierce as the top young drivers from around the world head for a hundred laps of non-stop, wheel-to-wheel racing under the lights of Iowa Speedway in Friday's first annual Pizza Ranch 100. The Star Mazda Championship is the college baseball of Indy-style auto racing; a high- speed training ground for future stars of the sport. This is the second of two oval races on the 13-event 2009 schedule and the first event, at the Milwaukee Mile on June 20 was won by Scandinavian racer Anders Krohn who led from lap 27 to the checkered in his #27 Mundill / Trallfa / Colosseum Mazda. That performance makes him the leading contender in the Pizza Ranch 100 as well, but you also have to factor in that two of the top qualifiers, Andersen Racing teammates Englishman Richard Kent (a winner in Round 5 at New Jersey and on pole in the #33 Andersen Racing / Traka / Lafarge / Allied Interior Products Mazda) and American Conor Daly (winner in Round 4 at New Jersey and third on the starting grid driving the #22 Andersen Racing / College Network / Indeck / Cytomax Mazda) crashed together in the first turn of the first lap – thereby eliminating some potentially strong challengers.

On Saturday Jody Karam will be helping his 15-year-old son Sage participate in the USF2000 race at Iowa Speedway in Newton, which is about 113 miles from Dyersville, Iowa, where the film was shot. The movie, which was adapted from the novel “Shoeless Joe” by W.P. Kinsella, deals with taking risks to follow dreams, following through on blind faith, destiny, going the distance and the complicated relationships between fathers and sons. The fact that the Karams will be racing in Iowa on Fatherʼs Day weekend could be just a coincidence — or like so many things in the movie, perhaps itʼs not such a coincidence after all. m-o-r-e Field of Dreams/Page 2 of 4 Sage Karam goes into the fourth race of the series, which is presented by Cooper Tires and powered by Mazda, as the points leader. How he got in that position and the role his father played in his story is a plot that would appeal to movie-goers as well as sports fans.

With his third victory of the year the Andretti Autosport driver extended his lead in the Championship-classʼ point standings. He also gave his father an early Fatherʼs Day present and pleased his sponsors, which include the Michael Fux Foundation, Comfort Revolution, Bell Helmets, Alpine Stars, Walters Web and Artrotundo.com. While Karam had no problems at all, the other two class podium finishers had more exciting stories to tell when they got back to the transporter of their team, JDC MotorSports. Abbate, who drives a car sponsored by Avery Dennison and Alphacolor, started fourth but dropped back to seventh when he had to take eva - sive action after front-row starter Patrick McKenna and the driver who started third, Zach Veach, made contact between Turns 1 and 2 at the start.
