Racin' Preview show in Portland a mix of new and old

Portland, Maine – Local stock car racers get anxious for their
upcoming short track seasons as the NASCAR season gets underway each
February in Daytona.

Short track fans get their first opportunity to see what's in store
for the 2009 season on the local bullrings at the 15th annual Racin'
Preview 2009 show at the Portland Expo on the weekend following the
Daytona 500, Friday and Saturday, February 20-21.

Several stock car racing facilities will be officially represented,
and there will be a number of unofficial representatives from various
tracks and tours competing throughout Northern New England.

Joining the various local speedways from the tri-state region will be
regional touring series like the Pro All Stars Series (PASS), the
American-Canadian Tour (ACT), the True Value Modified Racing Series
(TVMRS), Sprint Cars of New England (SCONE) and NELCAR Legends, along
with representatives from two or three other traveling series.

Racin' Preview 2009 annually salutes the past in local and regional
motorsports and this year the Maine Vintage Race Car Association
promises what should be their best-ever display. More vintage
racecars and historic displays than ever are on the agenda, says MVRCA
show coordinator Dodo Brockman.

Autograph opportunities abound at Racin' Preview 2009, and hundreds of
door prizes will be handed out, chiefly by show floor host and emcee
Bill DaButler.

Doors open at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 20, with the show open
until 10:00 p.m. Saturday Racin' Preview 2009 hours run from 9:00
a.m. – 9:00 p.m. The Portland Expo is located at 239 Park Avenue
(U.S. Route 1) in Portland, Maine. For more information please call
603-447-4251.
