Live Music, Sprint Cars, Cash Prizes & Family Fun Fill Cowtown Card 6/12

Kennedale TX (6/3/10) by DarinShort.com. After months of planning, a very special night of on, and off, track action will take place on June 12th when Cowtown Speedway, Palm Harbor Homes, 99.5 the Wolf, Texas Motor Speedway and DarinShort.com present the Family Fun & Sprint Car Racing Festival at Cowtown Speedway.

Designed with the whole family in mind, the gates and attractions will open at 5pm on June 12th.

Upon arrival to Cowtown Speedway, adults registering at either the Palm Harbor or 99.5 the Wolf table will automatically receive $2 off their adult admission ticket to that night’s event. Plus Palm Harbor will give those registrants a free 50/50 ticket to that night’s drawing.

Once inside the ticket gates, at the Palm Harbor Homes display ( http://www.PalmHarbor.com/racing ) will feature frenzied wheel-spinning prizes, a variety of http://www.lang14.com racing souvenirs – and the catalyst for bringing the evening’s 50/50 drawing to dizzying heights…possibly over the $1,000 mark, which happened on two PHH Family Fun nights at Cowtown in 2009. You will want to make sure you stop by their display located behind the grandstand to get in on the action. By purchasing $20 in 50/50 tickets at their display, you will receive a free lang14.com racing t-shirt, valued at $15.

Texas Motor Speedway will have their Interstate Batteries NASCAR show car display on-site complete, plus their EA Sports gaming station, which will offer fun for the entire family! You can also register to win tickets to the November NASCAR races out at Texas Motor Speedway.

99.5 the Wolf will have on-air talent providing live remotes to the Metroplex listeners throughout the night, plus will have several prizes including drawings for upcoming area concerts and much more.
