All Star Circuit of Champions Announces Cometic Gasket as Presenting Sponsor of 33rd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek
$25,000 Bonus on the Line

INDIANAPOLIS (June 3, 2015) – The All Star Circuit of Champions announced today that Concord Township, Ohio-based Cometic Gasket, Inc. will be the 2015 presenting sponsor of the 33rd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek. The nine-day, nine-event schedule begins on Friday, June 19th at Attica Raceway Park and culminates at Fremont Speedway on Saturday, June 27th.  Teams will travel nearly 1,000 miles over the course of the “week” and compete for nearly $250,000 in prize money.

Further, Cometic Gasket will pay a $25,000 bonus to any driver that can win at least five of the nine Ohio Sprint Speedweek events, and will distribute $3,000 to the overall top-10 in points following the conclusion of Speedweek.

“We are extremely excited to support the All Star Circuit of Champions and Ohio Sprint Speedweek”, said Bob Gorman, Founder and CEO, Cometic Gasket, Inc. “We are huge supporters of 410 winged sprint car racing in the state of Ohio and look forward to building stronger and lasting relationships with all the All Star teams and drivers over the coming years. Although my CFO may disagree, I really hope we can pay the $25,000 bonus at the end of Speedweek.”

Following the opening event at Attica, the All Stars will head to Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, and continue to Waynesfield Raceway Park on Sunday night, June 21st.  The schedule continues on Monday night at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville before heading to Sharon Speedway in Hartford. The All Stars make the 250-mile trek south to Atomic Speedway in Waverly on Wednesday night and head back north for a $5,000-to-win show at Fremont Speedway on Thursday night.  Friday night is slotted for the University of Northwestern Ohio-owned Limaland Motorsports Park and Saturday night will see the teams return to Fremont Speedway for Speedweek’s ending $10,000-to-win show.

“This is one of the oldest traditions in sprint car racing and we are proud to be associated with it,” said Tony Stewart, owner of the All Star Circuit of Champions series. “I’ve got to thank Cometic Gasket for partnering with us. We’ve had a great relationship with Bob (Gorman) for a long time with our Tony Stewart Racing teams and look forward to helping Cometic grow their business objectives through the All Star Series.”

About the All Star Circuit of Champions:
All Star Enterprises, LLC, wholly owned by Tony Stewart, d/b/a the All Star Circuit of Champions, is a winged sprint car series.  The All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series is one of the oldest traveling 410 sprint car organizations and is a staple of grassroots, open-wheel racing.  Formed in 1970 by Bud Miller, the series has largely been considered the first 'outlaw' Sprint Car organization of the modern era. After a 10 year stint as owner of the All Stars, Miller passed control of the series to Bert Emick in 1980; a reign that would continue through 2002. Guy Webb then purchased the series from Emick in the summer of 2002 and served as the series President for the next 12 years.  Motorsports entrepreneur Tony Stewart agreed to terms with Guy Webb to become the sole owner of the original winged sprint car tour in January of 2015.  The 2015 schedule includes 54 events in Ohio (29), Pennsylvania (14), Florida (5), Michigan (3), Indiana (1), New York (1) and Wisconsin (1).
