POSTED 4-21-09 NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 21, 2009 DEMOLITION DERBY RETURNS TO FAIRGROUNDS SPEEDWAY IN NASHVILLE NASHVILLE, Tenn - After a 16-year absence, the Fairgrounds Speedway is eager to announce their first Demolition Derby contest this weekend, April 25, at the historical short track facility. “In days past, the fans really enjoyed the beating and banging of the Demolition Derby participants and we wanted to bring it back to Nashville as soon as possible. So far we have 15 cars registered, but expect more on race day. It consists of mainly old cars with the last one running without assistance taking home the $750 winner’s purse. The second-place finisher will walk away with $500 in their pocket,” said Track Vice-President Boyd Adams. The event will take place on the front straightaway of the quarter-mile track after the last scheduled racing event concludes. The event is open to all and no membership is required to participate, but registration is mandatory at the back gate. “This is a fun event for everyone to watch and participate in, so we hope to have a big crowd on hand Saturday night to watch them demolish the cars down to the last one standing,” stated Danny Denson, Fairgrounds Speedway Promoter.
