Music City Motorplex Unveils 50th Anniversary Logo and Announces Plans for 2008 Season

NASHVILLE, TN – Racing at the Music City Motorplex dates back to 1904 on

its then one-mile dirt track.  Asphalt racing came to the Fairgrounds in 1958,

and fifty years later, racing continues to be a main-stay in Nashville.  Today the

Music City Motorplex unveiled its 50th Anniversary logo, designed by Gary Neal,

Steve Mazeall and Mike Curran, which closely resembles the original track logo

used in 1958. 

The Motorplex will kick off its 50th anniversary season on Saturday, March 29th

with a 150 lap event for the CRA Super Series Late Models, as well as events for

the CRA Street Stocks and O’Reilly USA Modifieds.  NASCAR Whelen All-

American Weekly racing will get underway on Saturday, April 5th with events for

the Late Models, Super Trucks and Grand National Sportsman.  In honor of the

50th Season Opener, MCM has proclaimed April 5th Fan Appreciation Night and

all grandstand admission from 4pm until 7pm will be free.

To help celebrate its 50th Anniversary on July 19th, the Motorplex has scheduled two great events for the weekend.  On Friday July 18th, the Old School Racing Tour will compete in the “Toyota 100” featuring such greats as Harry Gant, David Pearson and Geoff Bodine.  On July 19th, many of the Music City Motorplex’s past champions and other racing celebrities will be on hand for the NASCAR Camping World Series 150 (formerly the NASCAR Busch East Series) and the NASCAR Late Model 125.

Two-Day advance tickets for the July 18-19 events are only $25 and advance single day tickets are only $15.  Advance tickets are available at all TicketMaster locations, by calling TicketMaster at (615)255-9602, online at www.TicketMaster.com, or at the MCM Ticket Office.  Single day tickets at the gate are $20.

The Music City Motorplex is proud of its fifty year tradition at the track and hopes everyone comes out to help celebrate.  More information is available online at www.MusicCityMotorplex.com or by calling the Motorplex office at (615) 726-1818.
